Trusted across the Silver Lake area for honest pricing, clean work, and real warranties.
We recently finished building our new home in Glendale, and hiring Drip Too Hard Plumbing for the full new construction plumbing was one of the best decisions we made. From start to finish, Harry and Jon were punctual, professional, and incredibly detail-oriented. They handled everything rough-in, sewer, vents, water lines, gas lines, and the fixture installs with the same consistency and quality you expect from a top-tier company. Every inspection passed clean, the workmanship was flawless, and any questions we had were explained clearly. The DTHPromise gave us extra peace of mind, and even after the build was done, they continued to check in and make sure everything was perfect. It’s rare to find a plumbing company that treats your home like their own, but these guys do. If you’re building a new home or doing a remodel in Glendale, Drip Too Hard Plumbing is the only plumbing company I’d recommend. Absolute professionals.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this. Reviews like yours mean everything to us — especially on a full new-construction plumbing project in Glendale. Harry and Jon take a lot of pride in their workmanship, and hearing that the rough-in, sewer, vents, water lines, gas lines, and all final fixture installs came out clean and code-perfect truly makes our day. We built the DTHPromise around exactly what you described — clear communication, reliable scheduling, clean inspections, and treating your home like our own from start to finish. Knowing that peace of mind showed throughout your build means we did our job right. If you ever need us again — whether it’s a remodel, an addition, or any Glendale plumbing service — we’re always here for you and your family. Thank you for trusting Drip Too Hard Plumbing with your new home.
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

Thank you so much for the kind words and continued trust over the past year. We're grateful for your friend's referral and even more grateful that you've chosen us for both the small fixes and larger projects. Harry and the team take pride in doing things the right way, and it means a lot to hear that it shows. We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to being your go-to plumbers whenever you need us.
I’ve used Drip Too Hard Plumbing several times, and they’ve become my go-to plumber in Glendale. They originally installed my water heater, and months later it stopped working no one’s fault, just one of those things that happens. What blew me away was how fast they responded. They came out the next day, honored their DTH Promise warranty, and had my water heater repaired without delay. No waiting a week or ten weeks they just got it done. While they were here, I decided to move forward with a water softener, a whole home water filter system, and a sewer line repair. They gave me clear package pricing that made everything simple and affordable. From the first call to the final cleanup, everything was professional, organized, and on time. If you’re searching for a Glendale plumber who stands behind their work, offers real warranties, and handles everything from water filtration systems to sewer line repairs, I highly recommend Drip Too Hard Plumbing. Reliable, fast, and absolutely top-tier service

Thank you so much for sharing your experience and for trusting Drip Too Hard Plumbing again! We’re proud to be your go-to Glendale plumber and happy our team could honor your DTH Promise warranty and get your water heater repaired fast. We know how stressful it can be when a system fails, so we always aim for next-day service and real follow-through — no waiting weeks for repairs. It’s great to hear that the water softener, whole home water filter system, and sewer line repair all went smoothly and made a difference in your home. Our mission is to provide reliable, organized, and professional plumbing in Glendale with clear pricing and long-term warranties you can count on. We truly appreciate you recommending Drip Too Hard Plumbing — thank you for helping other homeowners find a trusted Glendale plumbing company they can rely on! 💧 — Drip Too Hard Plumbing | The DTH Promise | Licensed Glendale Plumber
Top Plumbing Issues in Silver Lake
These issues come up again and again. We're ready for them in Silver Lake.
Galvanized pipes corroding and restricting flow
Learn more
Silver Lake's 1920s-1940s craftsman homes commonly have original galvanized supply lines that corrode over time. The moderately hard water accelerates this process, leading to low pressure and discolored water throughout these historic properties.
Tree root intrusion in sewer lines
Learn more
Mature street trees throughout Silver Lake, especially around the reservoir area and Micheltorena neighborhood, send roots into aging clay and cast iron sewer laterals. These invasive roots cause recurring backups and require professional removal.
Slab leak causing foundation concerns
Learn more
Silver Lake's hillside properties are particularly susceptible to slab leaks as foundations settle on the sloped terrain. These hidden leaks can cause significant water damage and foundation issues if not detected early with professional equipment.
Water heater making popping or rumbling noises
Learn more
LADWP's moderately hard water causes mineral sediment buildup in water heaters throughout Silver Lake. This buildup creates popping and rumbling sounds as water boils around the sediment layer, reducing efficiency and shortening the unit's lifespan.
