Had an emergency plumbing issue and called Eric, the best plumber in La Crescenta. He showed up quickly, was very professional, and even took care of a water heater repair while he was here. Great service, highly recommend.

Thank you for the kind words and recommendation! I'm glad I could get out to you quickly and take care of the repair on the spot. Emergencies are stressful, and my goal is always to make the fix as smooth and professional as possible. Appreciate you trusting Drip Too Hard Plumbing—here for you anytime you need. — Harry, Owner Drip Too Hard Plumbing

Alex B.Verified reviewSep 8, 2025

We recently worked with Drip Too Hard Plumbing after our old water heater stopped working, and they were hands down the best plumber we've ever used in La Crescenta. From the first phone call, they were professional, upfront about our options, and gave us a reasonable estimate. We decided to go with a tankless water heater, and the whole installation was smooth -- they kept everything tidy and even showed us how to use the new system before they left. A few weeks later, we ran into a problem with our drains. They came out right away, handled the sewer line repair quickly, and there were no hidden costs or surprises. Everything's been working perfectly ever since. If you need a trustworthy plumber in La Crescenta, this is the team to call. Great service and worth every dollar for the peace of mind.

Thank you so much for the detailed review and for trusting us with both your tankless water heater install and the sewer line repair. I'm glad our team could keep everything tidy, walk you through the new system, and get those drains squared away without any surprises. We work hard to be upfront, fair, and fast—especially for our La Crescenta neighbors—and your peace of mind means everything to us. If you ever need anything down the road, we're here 24/7 and back our work with a 2-year workmanship warranty. — Harry, Owner Drip Too Hard Plumbing (Lic #980629)

I had an emergency leak at my home in Burbank and Drip Too Hard Plumbing came out fast. The toilet angle stop had failed and the supply line was leaking, causing water to spread quickly. They arrived promptly, shut the water down, replaced the angle stop and supply line, and had everything fixed the same visit. Super professional, calm under pressure, and explained exactly what went wrong and why. If you need an emergency plumber in Burbank who actually shows up and fixes the problem right, these are the guys to call.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this detailed review. We’re really glad we were able to respond quickly and stop the leak before it caused more damage. A failed angle stop and supply line can escalate fast, so getting the water shut down and repaired on the same visit is always the goal. We appreciate you noting our professionalism and clear explanations—that’s exactly how we believe emergency plumbing should be handled. Thanks again for trusting us with your home and for recommending us to others in Burbank. – drip too hard plumbing team

Why Sylmar Residents Call Us

Years of local experience means we know what to expect in Sylmar.

Galvanized pipes corroding and restricting flow

Learn more

Many Sylmar homes built in the 1950s-70s still have original galvanized pipes that are now severely corroded. These aging pipes restrict water flow and cause brown water, particularly common in the Olive View and Veterans Park neighborhoods.

Hard water causing scale buildup

Learn more

LADWP's hard water supply creates significant mineral deposits throughout Sylmar homes. Scale buildup clogs showerheads, reduces appliance efficiency, and creates white residue on fixtures, requiring water softening solutions for most properties.

Tree root intrusion in sewer lines

Learn more

Sylmar's mature street trees and established landscaping create ongoing root intrusion problems in sewer lines. Clay pipes in older neighborhoods are particularly vulnerable, causing recurring backups and requiring regular root cutting maintenance.

Water heater making popping or rumbling noises

Learn more

Hard water accelerates sediment accumulation in Sylmar water heaters, creating popping sounds as the unit struggles to heat through mineral buildup. Regular flushing is essential to prevent premature failure in local units.
