I recently had to deal with an unexpected plumbing emergency at one of my rental units in the Starlight Hills area of Burbank off Kenneth Rd, and Drip Too Hard Plumbing came through for me in a huge way. My tenant called late in the evening about a major backup, and I needed someone trustworthy to handle it fast since I couldn’t get there myself. I searched for a Burbank plumber and reached out to DTHP, and they immediately set the tone with clear communication and real professionalism. They went out the same day, performed a full emergency sewer line inspection, showed my tenant exactly what was happening in the line, and then completed a hydro jetting service on the spot to clear the issue before it got any worse. What stood out most was how calm, respectful, and transparent they were with both me and my tenant no pressure, no fear tactics, just real solutions. You can genuinely feel their DTHPromise in the way they operate: on time, clean work, straight answers, and no surprises on the bill. If you’re anywhere in Burbank and searching for a plumber near me, or need help with a sewer backup, drain issue, or hydro jetting, I honestly can’t recommend Drip Too Hard Plumbing enough. They made a stressful situation incredibly easy, and my tenant was taken care of from start to finish.

I recently hired Drip Too Hard Plumbing for a repair on the water heater line at my home near the Hollywood Hills, and they exceeded every expectation. They reconnected the PEX line to the exposed copper feeding into my water heater, and the work was clean, secure, and clearly done by pros who know what they’re doing. As promised under their DTHPromise, they arrived right on time, were extremely customer-friendly, and walked me through every part of the repair so I fully understood what was happening. It’s rare to find Burbank plumbers who deliver this level of professionalism, communication, and quality. If you need reliable, honest plumbing work done especially anything involving water heaters or line repairs Drip Too Hard Plumbing is the team you want. Highly recommended.

Hearing that you felt informed and taken care of through the whole repair means everything to us.

I am in the process of constructing a small ADU. My contractor ditched in the middle. He did plumbing very badly. When I contacted a few plumbing companies, most of them suggested to redo what he had already done to avoid problems in future. When I called Drop hard plumbing for their opinion, Mr Eric first came and examined everything and said he would send another expert to access the situation and then give a price. As said, he sent an expert who explained everything to me in the language I can understand what was the issue, what may be future issues if I continue to go with what the other plumber did, and what is the better solution. I liked his explanation and that is a deal breaker. I thought this company may be my best option and asked them to go further in their investigation before giving the price. Eric came with a camera and showed me wmthe issue and gave me a price. After a couple of days they finished the work to my satisfaction with a warranty of 5 years for parts and labor. I think that is a better part as I can call them if there is any issue with what they did. I strongly recommend Eric and his team for your plumbing issues. Ben Kaila La crescenta home owner

Why Sierra Madre Residents Call Us

Years of local experience means we know what to expect in Sierra Madre.

Galvanized pipes corroding and restricting flow

Learn more

Sierra Madre's craftsman homes from the 1920s-1940s commonly have galvanized supply lines showing severe corrosion. The moderately hard water accelerates this deterioration, causing low pressure and discolored water throughout Old Town and Baldwin Avenue neighborhoods.

Tree root intrusion in sewer lines

Learn more

Mature oak and sycamore trees throughout Sierra Madre's canyon areas aggressively seek water sources, frequently invading aging cast iron sewer lines. Properties near Bean Canyon and along Grandview Avenue are particularly susceptible to costly root blockages.

Water heater making popping or rumbling noises

Learn more

Sierra Madre's moderately hard water from California American Water causes significant sediment buildup in tank water heaters. The mineral deposits create loud popping sounds as they heat and cool, requiring regular flushing and earlier replacement.

Slab leak causing foundation concerns

Learn more

Sierra Madre's hillside terrain and shifting foothill soils put stress on under-slab plumbing, particularly in Canyonlands and upper Alegria Avenue areas. Copper pipes are especially vulnerable to pinhole leaks from ground movement and water chemistry.
