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.

Thank you for sharing your experience! I’m glad our team was able to respond quickly, get the leak detection done, and repair the water heater before it caused more damage. We always aim to be clear on pricing and leave the space as clean as we found it, so it’s great to hear that came through. Really appreciate your recommendation for leak repair and detection in La Crescenta — means a lot to our small business. 🙏💧 — Harry, Owner, Drip Too Hard Plumbing
As a property manager living out of state, finding a truly dependable Glendale plumber has been a huge relief. Drip Too Hard Plumbing handles maintenance across several tenant properties for us, and they’ve delivered every time especially in emergencies. We’ve had a few serious situations: an old water heater burst and left tenants without hot water, a backed‑up sewer line, and unexpected leaks. Drip Too Hard responded fast, installed a new tankless water heater on short notice, cleared sewer line clogs, and repaired leaks promptly. That mix of emergency skill plus everyday maintenance is exactly what remote managers need. Communication is another standout. They keep me in the loop with clear explanations, photos when needed, and honest recommendations. Tenants feel taken care of, and I’m not left guessing about costs or next steps. It’s rare to find a crew that’s both technically sharp and good at working with owners who aren’t on site. If you manage properties from another state or just want a go‑to local plumbing partner in Glendale, this is the team to trust. Reliable, professional, and genuinely helpful highly recommended.

Thank you for the kind review and for trusting us to take care of your properties. We understand how important it is for an out-of-state property manager to have a reliable Glendale plumber they can count on, especially when emergencies come up. We’re glad we could help with everything from emergency tankless water heater installation to sewer line unclogs and leak repairs, and even more glad that the communication and transparency made managing your tenants easier. Taking care of your tenants as if they were our own is always our priority. We truly appreciate the continued trust and look forward to supporting your properties for years to come. — Drip Too Hard Plumbing

When I call them, I know the job’s getting done right the first time no shortcuts, no excuses.

We really appreciate the kind words and the trust you’ve shown us over the years. It means a lot coming from someone who’s been building in Burbank as long as you have. Our crew takes pride in doing things the right way — no shortcuts, no excuses — and it’s great working with contractors who value quality just as much as we do. Thanks for always calling on Drip Too Hard Plumbing.
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.
