Called Drip Too Hard Plumbing for an emergency plumbing situation in La Crescenta. The plumber showed up fast, fixed the valve issue on the spot, and made sure everything was working before leaving. What impressed me most was how upfront they were — no pressure, no upselling, just honest advice. They even gave me pointers about our water heater and what to look out for. Price was fair, not cheap, but I knew exactly what I was paying for and the quality of service was top notch. I’d recommend them to anyone who needs an emergency plumber or plumbing repair done right.
Great service. I called them about capping a gas line, a non-urgent request, and they showed up the same day. I will use them again in the future.
These issues come up again and again. We're ready for them in Universal City.
Universal City's hillside terrain and geological activity frequently cause slab leaks in homes built on canyon slopes. The combination of foundation settling and aging copper pipes creates hidden leaks that can damage your property's structural integrity.
Mature landscaping throughout the Cahuenga Pass area sends aggressive roots into sewer lines seeking water. Universal City's established trees and canyon vegetation create persistent root intrusion problems requiring regular maintenance and trenchless repair solutions.
LADWP's moderately hard water creates sediment buildup in water heaters throughout Universal City. The mineral deposits settle at the bottom of tanks, creating popping sounds and reducing efficiency, especially problematic in the area's older ranch homes.
Many Universal City homes from the 1960s-70s development era still have original galvanized pipes that are now severely corroded. The hard water accelerates rust formation, creating low pressure and discolored water throughout Studio District and hillside neighborhoods.
