Trusted across the Silver Lake area for honest pricing, clean work, and real warranties.
I called Drip Too Hard Plumbing after searching for a plumber in Burbank. We just moved near the Magnolia Park area, and of course, the old plumbing decided to act up right away but something good came out of it! I was so impressed by how professional and fast they were. From booking online to the final cleanup, everything was effortless. Their website is clean and modern, almost like dealing with the Apple of plumbing companies. They hydro-jetted our old sewer line, installed a new tankless water heater, and even ran a new gas line to bring everything up to code No mess, no surprises just honest, above board service from people who truly care about their work. If you need a plumber in the Toluca Lake or Burbank area, I couldn’t recommend them more.

Thank you so much for the amazing review and for welcoming us into your new Burbank home near Magnolia Park! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a great experience with our team — from booking online to completing the hydro jetting, tankless water heater installation, and gas line upgrade. Our goal at Drip Too Hard Plumbing is to make every service call in Burbank and Toluca Lake as smooth and stress-free as possible — with upfront pricing, clean workmanship, and full warranty-backed service on every job. We’re proud to be known as the “Apple of plumbing” around here, and reviews like yours mean the world to our crew.

We manage a hillside apartment building in Burbank, and when the shower drains started backing up throughout the building, it quickly turned into an emergency. We searched for a plumber near me and called Drip Too Hard Plumbing, and they responded fast. They were professional, calm, and clearly experienced with multi-unit drain issues. They performed a thorough emergency drain cleaning, explained what was causing the backup, and made sure everything was flowing properly before leaving. The team was respectful to tenants and worked efficiently to minimize disruption. It’s a huge relief knowing we have a reliable Burbank plumber we can call when problems affect an entire building. Fast response, honest service, and quality work. Highly recommended.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. We understand how stressful it can be when a plumbing issue affects an entire apartment building, especially in a hillside property where drain systems can be more complex. We’re glad our team was able to respond quickly, identify the cause of the backup, and get everything flowing properly again while minimizing disruption for your tenants. Providing fast, reliable emergency service and clear communication is something we take seriously. We truly appreciate your trust and recommendation, and we’re always here if you need us in the future. — Drip Too Hard Plumbing
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.
