Trusted across the Silver Lake area for honest pricing, clean work, and real warranties.
had an amazing experience with Drip Too Hard Plumbing here in Glendale. My old water heater finally gave out, so I decided to upgrade to a tankless system, and Jon from their team handled everything start to finish like a true pro. He explained all the options clearly, helped me pick the right size for my home, and made sure the installation was spotless. What really stood out was how clean, organized, and professional the whole process was. Jon tested everything twice, showed me how the new system works, and even adjusted the gas line to meet the tankless specs no shortcuts, no upselling, just honest, high-quality work. If you’re looking for a Glendale plumber who actually knows tankless water heaters inside and out, call Drip Too Hard Plumbing. Reliable, knowledgeable, and worth every penny.

Thank you so much for the amazing feedback! We’re thrilled to hear Jon and the team delivered a clean, professional tankless water heater installation here in Glendale. Our goal at Drip Too Hard Plumbing is to provide every homeowner with honest, high-quality plumbing work — from tankless water heater upgrades to full gas line adjustments and system testing. We appreciate you trusting our Glendale plumbers and are glad your new system is running perfectly!
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

Ben, thank you for taking the time to share your experience in such detail. We know how stressful it can be when a project gets left unfinished, so we're glad Eric and the team could step in, explain everything clearly, and complete the ADU plumbing with a long-term warranty you can rely on. It means a lot to earn your trust, and we'll always be here if you need us in the future.
I live in Tujunga and woke up to my whole home backing up every drain was clogged and I had no idea what was going on. I searched for plumbers near me and found Drip Too Hard Plumbing, and I’m so glad I did. They came out same day, did a full camera inspection, and showed me exactly where my sewer line was damaged and full of heavy roots. Eric and his team were professional, honest, and explained every step. They ended up digging out the front yard to access the line and installed 10 feet of trenchless liner to rebuild the damaged section. The difference was immediate everything started flowing perfectly again. What really stood out was how clean, organized, and stress-free they made the whole process. Their DTHP Promise gave me a lot of confidence that the job was done correctly and built to last. It’s rare to find a Tujunga plumber that responds this quickly and actually solves the root issue instead of giving temporary fixes. If you’re anywhere in Tujunga or the surrounding area and need reliable help, I highly recommend Drip Too Hard Plumbing. They’re definitely my go-to from now on.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this. A full home backup is one of the most stressful situations a homeowner can wake up to, and I’m really glad we were able to get out to Tujunga same-day and get everything flowing again. Once we ran the camera and saw how badly the roots had taken over that section of your sewer line, we knew a trenchless liner was the right fix something that would actually solve the problem, not just clear it for a few weeks. Hearing that the difference was immediate means a lot to our whole team. What you mentioned about the process feeling clean, organized, and low-stress… that’s exactly what we aim for with every job. Plumbing issues are already overwhelming, so our job is to make everything else easy and transparent. Thank you for trusting us with such an important repair and for recommending us to your neighbors. We’re always here whenever you need us. — Drip Too Hard Plumbing Glendale Team
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.
