I called Drip Too Hard Plumbing for a sewer camera inspection and drain check at my Glendale house. The team was fast, professional, and showed me the live footage of the line so I knew exactly what needed to be done. No pressure, no guessing—just clear answers and quality work. The best plumbers in Glendale for drain or sewer inspections.

Found Drip Too Hard Plumbing when I needed a plumber in Glendale for a small leak that ended up being a bigger problem. Erik and his team showed up quick, handled the emergency sewer line repair in Glendale, and kept everything clean and stress-free. Their customer service was top-tier — clear, honest, and no games. The work’s backed by their DTH Promise 2-Year Warranty, which says a lot about how they operate. Easily my go-to Glendale plumber from now on.

Van Nuys Plumbing Problems We Solve

Local homes face unique challenges. Here's what we see most often in Van Nuys.

Galvanized pipes corroding and restricting flow

Learn more

Van Nuys's 1950s-1960s homes often have original galvanized pipes that are now severely corroded. The moderately hard LADWP water accelerates this corrosion, causing low pressure and rusty water throughout these post-war tract homes.

Water heater making popping or rumbling noises

Learn more

The moderately hard water from LADWP creates significant sediment buildup in water heaters, especially in Van Nuys's older homes. This sediment causes popping sounds as the heating elements work through mineral deposits, particularly common in original units from the post-war building boom.

Tree root intrusion in sewer lines

Learn more

Van Nuys's mature street trees and landscaping, planted during the area's development in the 1950s-60s, now have extensive root systems that infiltrate aging cast iron sewer lines. The valley's stable soil conditions allow roots to spread widely toward water sources.

Low water pressure throughout the house

Learn more

Homes throughout Van Nuys, Sherman Oaks, and Panorama City experience pressure issues due to mineral deposits in aging galvanized pipes. The moderately hard LADWP water compounds this problem by creating scale buildup in pipes installed during the post-war construction era.
