I found Drip Too Hard Plumbing while looking for a plumber in Burbank, and I’m so glad I did. From the moment I landed on their website, everything felt professional and easy to understand it’s rare to see a plumbing company with such a clean, modern site where you can actually book a free estimate in seconds. Their customer service was top tier. The team texted me before arriving, explained everything clearly, and didn’t pressure me into anything. They diagnosed my issue fast and gave me options with upfront pricing. What really stood out is that all their work is warranty-backed they don’t just fix and disappear. You can tell they care about doing things the right way. If you’re in Burbank and want a plumber that’s honest, responsive, and stands behind their work, Drip Too Hard Plumbing is the one to call. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

We really appreciate you taking the time to share this! Emergencies can be stressful, so we're glad we could get there quickly, explain the valve repair options, and give you peace of mind about your water heater as well. Harry and the team will be thrilled to hear your feedback. Thank you for trusting us not only for this job but also for future sewer line work — it means a lot to us.

I’m a homeowner and father living near NoHo West in North Hollywood, and when our old water heater broke early in the morning, I suddenly found myself searching for a North Hollywood plumber who could actually respond right away. Every plumber near me I called either didn’t answer or couldn’t come out for days. Drip Too Hard Plumbing was the only team that treated it like a real emergency. Erik picked up immediately, walked me through what to do next, and had Harry and Jon at my home the same morning. They diagnosed the problem, confirmed the unit had completely failed, and handled a full emergency tankless water heater replacement plus a gas line upgrade to make sure everything ran safely and up to code. What really stood out was the level of care. As a dad, having strangers working in your home can be stressful, but these guys were incredibly respectful. Shoe covers, clean work, clear explanations, and constant updates. You can genuinely feel their DTHPromise in the way they operate honest communication, no surprises, and workmanship that actually gives you peace of mind. Within a few hours, we had hot water again, the installation looked flawless, and my kids were able to shower and get ready without chaos. For anyone in North Hollywood looking for a plumber near me or a team that truly steps up during emergencies, Drip Too Hard Plumbing is the one to trust. Huge thank you to Harry, Erik, and Jon for saving our day.

Thank you so much for sharing this experience with our team. We know how stressful it is to lose hot water, especially with a family at home, so we’re really glad Harry, Erik, and Jon were able to get out to your North Hollywood property quickly and complete the tankless replacement the same day. Our goal with every job especially emergency calls is to deliver clear communication, clean workmanship, and reliable solutions you can feel confident about. That’s the heart of our DTHPromise, and it means a lot to hear it made a difference for your family. We truly appreciate you choosing us as your North Hollywood plumbing team, and we’re here anytime you need support in the future. Thank you again for the trust and for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. -Drip Too Hard Plumbing Team

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.
