Our reputation is built on reviews like these. We bring the same commitment to every Placentia area home.
I needed a plumber in the Burbank / Toluca Lake area to look at a sump pump issue and reached out for an estimate. They came out quickly and gave me a free estimate, explained everything clearly, and didn’t try to pressure me into any work. Super honest, professional, and knowledgeable. It’s rare to find a plumber who actually takes the time to educate you instead of just selling. I’ll definitely be calling them again if I need plumbing work in the future. Highly recommend.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this review! We’re glad we could provide a free estimate and help explain the sump pump situation clearly. Our goal is always to be honest, informative, and never push work that isn’t needed. We truly appreciate you trusting us for your plumbing needs in the Burbank and Toluca Lake area, and we’ll be here anytime you need us. Thanks again for the recommendation! – Drip Too Hard Plumbing
I called Drip Too Hard Plumbing to handle a clogged drain and a pop-up sink replacement at my home in Glendale, and the experience was smooth from start to finish. The technician arrived on time, quickly identified the issue, and got the drain cleared without any hassle. The sink pop-up was replaced neatly, and everything was tested to make sure it was working properly before wrapping up. What stood out to me was the professionalism and communication. The work was explained clearly, there were no surprises, and the area was left clean once the job was done. I’ve used different plumbers in the past, and this was one of the more straightforward and stress-free experiences I’ve had. If you’re looking for a reliable plumber near me in Glendale/Burbank area, who shows up when they say they will and does quality work, Drip Too Hard Plumbing is a solid choice. I wouldn’t hesitate to call them again for future plumbing needs.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! We’re glad to hear the drain and sink pop-up replacement went smoothly and that our team’s communication and professionalism stood out. It’s always our goal to make plumbing stress-free and efficient for our clients in Glendale and the Burbank area. We appreciate your trust and look forward to helping you with any future plumbing needs!
We had a plumbing problem late at night and needed an emergency plumber quick Drip Too Hard Plumbing arrived faster than expected diagnosed the valve issue and gave me choices instead of pushing the priciest fix they even gave tips on our water heater for the future super professional and fair I'd recommend them to anyone in La Crescenta needing plumbing work I really loved harry and how helpfully he was I'm going to be using them for our future sewer line repairs also!!!!! They recently rebranded and have been killing it

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this — we really appreciate it. Late-night plumbing issues are stressful, so we’re glad we were able to get out quickly and take care of the valve problem without any pressure or upselling. Our goal is always to explain the situation clearly, give real options, and let you decide what makes the most sense for your home. Harry will be especially happy to hear your kind words. He takes a lot of pride in being helpful, transparent, and making sure customers feel taken care of. We’re also glad the water heater tips were useful — preventative advice is just as important as the repair itself. Thank you for recommending us to others in La Crescenta and for trusting us with future sewer line work. We appreciate your support through our rebrand and we’re excited to keep delivering the level of service you experienced. – Drip Too Hard Plumbing
Top Plumbing Issues in Placentia
These issues come up again and again. We're ready for them in Placentia.
Water heater making popping or rumbling noises
Learn more
Hard water from Yorba Linda Water District causes significant sediment buildup in Placentia water heaters. The mineral-rich water creates thick layers of calcium and magnesium deposits at the bottom of tanks, causing loud popping and rumbling noises as water bubbles through the sediment during heating cycles.
Tree root intrusion in sewer lines
Learn more
Mature street trees throughout established Placentia neighborhoods like Old Town and Kraemer-Villa Park send aggressive roots into aging clay sewer lines. These 1960s-era pipes develop small cracks over time, attracting roots that eventually cause major blockages and require professional root cutting or pipe replacement.
Galvanized pipes corroding and restricting flow
Learn more
Many Placentia homes built during the 1950s-1970s post-war boom still have original galvanized steel pipes that are now severely corroded. Combined with the area's hard water, these pipes develop thick rust buildup that restricts water flow and causes frequent leaks throughout Northeast Placentia and Golden Triangle neighborhoods.
Slab leak causing foundation concerns
Learn more
Post-war tract homes in Placentia were built on concrete slab foundations with copper pipes running beneath. Over decades, soil shifting and pipe corrosion from hard water create leaks under the slab, causing foundation damage and requiring specialized detection and repair techniques common in mid-century neighborhoods.
