Trusted across the Silver Lake area for honest pricing, clean work, and real warranties.
I needed a plumber in the Burbank / Toluca Lake area to look at a sump pump issue and reached out for an estimate. They came out quickly and gave me a free estimate, explained everything clearly, and didn’t try to pressure me into any work. Super honest, professional, and knowledgeable. It’s rare to find a plumber who actually takes the time to educate you instead of just selling. I’ll definitely be calling them again if I need plumbing work in the future. Highly recommend.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this review! We’re glad we could provide a free estimate and help explain the sump pump situation clearly. Our goal is always to be honest, informative, and never push work that isn’t needed. We truly appreciate you trusting us for your plumbing needs in the Burbank and Toluca Lake area, and we’ll be here anytime you need us. Thanks again for the recommendation! – Drip Too Hard Plumbing
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.

Thank you for trusting us with your condos off Kenneth Rd — we really appreciate you taking the time to share this. Hydro jetting main lines on multi-unit properties takes precision, so we’re glad our team was able to get everything flowing smoothly again. Delivering clean, professional work and clear communication is what our DTHP standard is all about, and it means a lot to know it came through on your project. If you ever need help with any of your Glendale properties, we’re always here for you. Thanks again for choosing Drip Too Hard Plumbing.
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.
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.
