I needed hydro jetting at my home in Burbank after my sewer line backed up and called Drip Too Hard Plumbing. Erik came out on a Sunday and showed up right on time, which I really appreciated. He explained the hydro cleaning process clearly and used professional equipment to fully clear the main sewer line. Everything is draining perfectly now. If you're looking for a reliable plumber in Burbank for hydro jetting or sewer cleaning, I definitely recommend Erik and 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.
