I had Drip Too Hard Plumbing come out for a tankless water heater replacement at my home in Glendale near Brand Park, and they were hands-down the most reliable Glendale plumber I’ve ever hired. If you need a plumber Glendale residents can trust, these guys are on another level. Jon and Erik showed up right on time, even in the rain, and immediately put on shoe covers before stepping inside. They handled the entire tankless water heater installation with total professionalism clean, organized, and efficient. Hot water was back faster than expected. What really stood out was how honest they were. After the install, they offered a free sewer camera inspection and actually showed me a couple of issues in the line. And the best part? No pressure, no upsells, no scare tactics. Just real information so I could plan ahead. That level of integrity is rare in any plumbing Glendale service, and it’s why they’ve earned my trust. Their DTHPromise really showed respectful techs, clear communication, great workmanship, and zero games. If you’re in Glendale and need anything from a water heater upgrade to general plumbing work, Drip Too Hard Plumbing is the only team I’d call.
Spent 35 minutes running a snake in my laundry line. It didn't work, the line is still clogged. He charged $145 for this.
Local homes face unique challenges. Here's what we see most often in Santa Monica.
Santa Monica's coastal salt air accelerates galvanized pipe corrosion in homes built during the 1950s-1970s development boom. Combined with moderately hard water, these pipes develop severe rust buildup that restricts water flow and causes discoloration throughout Pacific Palisades and Venice area properties.
Hard water conditions from Santa Monica's groundwater sources cause rapid sediment accumulation in water heater tanks. The mineral-rich water creates thick sediment layers that overheat and create popping sounds, particularly problematic in the area's numerous mid-century apartment buildings and Art Deco complexes.
Mature landscaping in established Santa Monica neighborhoods like Brentwood and Mar Vista creates persistent sewer line problems as tree roots seek moisture from aging cast iron drain pipes. The coastal climate encourages aggressive root growth that frequently infiltrates and blocks older sewer systems installed during post-war development.
Mineral deposits from Santa Monica's moderately hard water combine with corroded galvanized pipes to create significant pressure loss in older homes. Salt air corrosion accelerates pipe deterioration, while calcium buildup from the municipal water supply further restricts flow in properties throughout the Sawtelle and West LA areas.
