I needed an emergency plumber in Burbank near the Hillside area, and I’m honestly grateful I found Drip Too Hard Plumbing. They showed up on time and immediately made me feel like my home was in good hands. Harry walked me through every step of the process, and Jon made sure the work was done clean and professionally. They performed a full hydro jetting on my line and also handled a tankless water heater replacement the same day. What really stood out was the transparency, the communication, and the DTHPromise they give you real peace of mind from a company that stands behind their work.If you’re looking for a Burbank plumber you can trust, especially for emergencies, I highly recommend Drip Too Hard Plumbing. These guys are the real deal.

I manage another smoke shop in Burbank and when our back-room sink started flooding, I reached out to Drip Too Hard Plumbing again.

It’s hard to find tradesmen this responsive and respectful.

Our water heater started leaking badly in La Crescenta, so we called Drip Too Hard Plumbing for emergency service. They showed up quickly, performed a full leak detection to make sure there weren’t other issues, and then repaired the damaged water heater. Everything was explained clearly, the pricing was fair, and the crew worked clean and professional. We’re very grateful for how fast they handled the emergency — highly recommend them for leak repair, leak detection, and any plumbing needs.

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.
