I was looking for a reliable plumber in Burbank to replace my old water heater, and calling Drip Too Hard Plumbing turned out to be the best move I could’ve made. Erik and his crew came through big time — they installed a new tankless water heater and a whole-house water softener system within the same week. From the very first call, they were transparent, professional, and easy to work with. The team showed up right on time, protected my floors, and walked me through everything step by step. They even fine-tuned my water pressure before wrapping up — something most companies wouldn’t bother with. You can tell Drip Too Hard Plumbing actually cares about their customers and their work. No upselling, no last-minute surprises just clean, high-quality craftsmanship. If you’re in Burbank and need a trustworthy plumber, these are the guys to call. My water feels softer, the pressure’s perfect, and hot water is instant now.

Owning multiple properties, I've worked with a lot of plumbing companies but Drip Too Hard Plumbing in Glendale is on another level. They've installed and serviced several tankless water heaters for me, repaired an older water heater that another company said couldn't be fixed, and recently completed a sewer line installation that was done clean, fast, and fully inspected without a single issue. Erik and his team communicate clearly, show up when they say they will, and treat every property like it's their own. The work is professional, their prices are fair, and they always leave the site spotless. I now call them for all my Glendale plumbing needs trustworthy, licensed, and just solid people all around. Highly recommend them to any property owner looking for long-term quality work.

I have been using Drip Too Hard Plumbing (rebranded from DTH) for about a year. They were recommended by a good friend of mine who is a developer, and I have been ecstatic to find such a competent, ethical and reasonably priced plumbing service. Harry is very accommodating and has done a number of small plumbing jobs for me, including fixing work of previous plumbers (Installed new fixtures, fixed leaks from plumbing connections and garbage disposals and installed gas shut off valve). He has also done major construction for friends. I HIGHLY recommend him

Frequent Plumbing Concerns in San Gabriel

These issues come up again and again. We're ready for them in San Gabriel.

Water heater making popping or rumbling noises

Learn more

San Gabriel's moderately hard water causes sediment buildup in tank water heaters, creating popping sounds as water moves around mineral deposits. This is especially common in the area's 1950s-1970s homes with aging units.

Tree root intrusion in sewer lines

Learn more

Mature trees throughout San Gabriel neighborhoods like Garvey Ranch and the Mission District area send roots into original clay sewer lines. Post-war developments are particularly susceptible to this issue.

Galvanized pipes corroding and restricting flow

Learn more

Many San Gabriel homes built in the 1950s-1960s still have original galvanized plumbing that's now corroding internally. Combined with mineral deposits from hard water, this severely restricts water flow throughout the house.

Low water pressure throughout the house

Learn more

Older San Gabriel homes often experience pressure issues due to corroded galvanized pipes and mineral buildup from the area's hard water. This affects homes from Del Mar to the Jefferson Elementary area.
