I own a few condos off Kenneth Rd in Glendale, and Drip Too Hard Plumbing did a great job hydro jetting one of our main lines. The tech showed up on time, explained everything clearly, and got the line running perfect again. Clean, professional work — you can really see the DTHP quality. I’ll be using them for all my Glendale properties.

I own a smoke shop in La Crescenta and had a sudden leak from one of our commercial faucets right before opening. I called Drip Too Hard Plumbing and they were on-site within the hour. The technician was professional, respectful to my employees, and diagnosed the issue right away. They not only fixed the faucet but also did a quick drain cleaning and checked our water heater to make sure everything was safe before we reopened. The entire service was fast, clean, and reasonably priced. If you ever need an emergency plumber for a commercial property in La Crescenta, these guys are the real deal on-time, reliable, and extremely professional.

Sherman Oaks Plumbing Problems We Solve

Local homes face unique challenges. Here's what we see most often in Sherman Oaks.

Water heater making popping or rumbling noises

Learn more

Sherman Oaks' moderately hard water from LADWP creates sediment buildup in water heater tanks. The popping sounds occur when water bubbles through accumulated mineral deposits, common in the area's mid-century homes with original equipment.

Tree root intrusion in sewer lines

Learn more

Mature landscaping throughout Sherman Oaks neighborhoods creates aggressive root systems seeking water sources. Cast iron sewer lines in homes built before 1980 are particularly vulnerable to root penetration and blockages.

Galvanized pipes corroding and restricting flow

Learn more

Many Sherman Oaks homes built in the 1950s-1970s still have original galvanized supply lines. After 40+ years, these pipes develop internal corrosion that restricts water flow and creates pressure problems throughout the house.

Slab leak causing foundation concerns

Learn more

Sherman Oaks' concrete slab foundation homes, especially in the valley floor areas, experience copper pipe failures beneath the foundation. Hard water accelerates pipe corrosion, leading to leaks that can damage foundations and increase water bills.
