Trusted across the Silver Lake area for honest pricing, clean work, and real warranties.
We had this plumber in La Crescenta come out for a water softener install and a whole home filter. Super easy to work with, showed up when they said they would, and the water in our house is already so much better. Definitely recommend if you need a water softener or just a good plumber.

Thank you for trusting Drip Too Hard Plumbing with your water softener and whole home filter install! 💧 We’re glad to hear everything went smoothly and that you’re already noticing the difference in your water quality. Our team takes pride in being on-time, easy to work with, and delivering results you can feel right away. We appreciate the recommendation — that’s the DTHP Promise in action. 🙏 - Erik, Owner, Drip Too Hard Plumbing
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
We had a leak from our water heater in La Crescenta and needed emergency plumbing fast. Drip Too Hard Plumbing came right away, did a leak detection, and repaired the water heater on the spot. Super professional and fair service worth every penny

Thank you so much for the 5-star review! We're glad we could get out to La Crescenta quickly, track down the leak, and repair your water heater on the spot. Our goal is fast, clean, and fair service—especially in emergencies. If you ever need anything else (or if that water heater gives you another hiccup), we're here 24/7 and back our work with a 1-year workmanship warranty. — Erik, Owner 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.
