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

Called Drip Too Hard Plumbing for an emergency plumbing situation in La Crescenta. The plumber showed up fast, fixed the valve issue on the spot, and made sure everything was working before leaving. What impressed me most was how upfront they were — no pressure, no upselling, just honest advice. They even gave me pointers about our water heater and what to look out for. Price was fair, not cheap, but I knew exactly what I was paying for and the quality of service was top notch. I’d recommend them to anyone who needs an emergency plumber or plumbing repair done right.

Really appreciate you taking the time to share this! Emergencies can be stressful, so I’m glad we were able to get out to La Crescenta quickly and get the valve issue resolved on the spot. At Drip Too Hard Plumbing, we believe in being upfront — no pressure, just clear advice — so it means a lot that stood out to you. Thank you for trusting us with your home and for recommending our team! 🙏💧 — Erik, Owner, 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.
