Trusted across the San Gabriel area for honest pricing, clean work, and real warranties.
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
I needed a Glendale plumber after my landscapers messed up my sewer and gas lines. Found Drip Too Hard Plumbing online and loved how easy their site was to use for a free estimate. Erik (the owner) and Jon showed up fast, gave an honest quote, and didn’t pressure me at all. They even wrote off the sewer line inspection cost in the repair. Super clean and professional work — they handled both the emergency sewer line repair in Glendale and gas line installation & repair same day. If you need Glendale plumbing, these are the guys to call!

Thank you so much for the awesome review! 🙏 We’re really glad you found us online and had a smooth experience from start to finish. Jon and I always aim to give honest, pressure-free estimates and make sure every Glendale plumbing job is done right the first time — especially with tricky sewer and gas line repairs like yours. Appreciate you trusting Drip Too Hard Plumbing for your emergency sewer line repair and gas line installation in Glendale. We’re always here when you need us! 💧🔥 -Drip Too Hard Plumbing Team
I live in Burbank North Estates and had an unexpected sewer line issue that quickly turned into an emergency. Living by myself, it was stressful not knowing what was going on, so when I searched for a plumber near me, finding a trustworthy Burbank plumber was really important.From the first phone call, Drip Too Hard Plumbing made me feel comfortable and informed. They arrived when they said they would and took the time to explain what was happening before starting any work. During the inspection, they showed me a large root they had pulled out of the sewer line, which helped me clearly understand the cause of the problem instead of just being told it was “fixed.”They addressed the issue properly and explained the next steps so I knew what to expect moving forward. The entire process felt professional, respectful, and honest, which really helped build trust. Knowing the work was backed by their DTHPromise gave me peace of mind that everything was handled correctly. If you’re in Burbank and need a reliable plumber you can trust especially during an emergency I would definitely recommend Drip Too Hard Plumbing.

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.
