I needed a plumber in the Burbank / Toluca Lake area to look at a sump pump issue and reached out for an estimate. They came out quickly and gave me a free estimate, explained everything clearly, and didn’t try to pressure me into any work. Super honest, professional, and knowledgeable. It’s rare to find a plumber who actually takes the time to educate you instead of just selling. I’ll definitely be calling them again if I need plumbing work in the future. Highly recommend.

I live in Burbank near Castaway, and I had a serious sewer emergency that came out of nowhere. Multiple drains backed up at once and it quickly became clear this wasn’t a simple clog. Drip Too Hard Plumbing responded fast and got straight to work. After opening the line, they showed me just how bad it was the sewer line was completely packed with roots. It was honestly shocking how much root intrusion had grown into the pipe over time. They explained everything clearly, removed the damaged section, and completed the sewer line repair the right way. What stood out most was how calm, professional, and organized they were during an emergency situation. No guessing, no upselling just clear answers and real solutions. Once the repair was done, everything started flowing normally again. If you’re in Burbank and ever deal with a sewer backup or root-infested line, I highly recommend Drip Too Hard Plumbing. They handled a stressful emergency with confidence and care.

I highly recommend Drip Too Hard Plumbing! They installed a brand-new sewer pipe from my house to the sidewalk with zero issues. Eric took the time to break down every detail and explain the entire process before starting any work, even giving me different options so I could make the best decision. That level of transparency is rare. Harry is incredibly focused and skilled—his work speaks for itself. The whole crew worked clean, fast, and professionally.

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.
