I live near Super King Market on Glenoaks, and I recently had Drip Too Hard Plumbing out for a drain cleaning. I’m really glad I called them. The drain had been backing up and draining slowly, and they were able to clear it out quickly without any mess. They showed up on time, explained what was causing the issue, and made sure everything was flowing properly before leaving. The whole process was smooth, professional, and stress-free. You can tell they actually care about doing the job right, not just rushing through it. If you’re in the Glenoaks area and need a reliable plumber for drain cleaning, I’d definitely recommend Drip Too Hard Plumbing. I’ll be calling them again if anything else comes up.

I highly recommend Drip Too Hard Plumbing! They installed a brand-new sewer pipe from my house to the sidewalk with zero issues.

We had an emergency plumbing issue at our house in La Crescenta late at night, and Drip Too Hard Plumbing showed up right away. They diagnosed it as a valve repair and explained all the options clearly. I really appreciated that they didn't pressure us into replacing more than we needed -- they actually recommended the most affordable solution first. They also walked me through what to expect down the line with our water heater, which was super helpful. They're not the "cheapest" plumbers out there, but they're honest, upfront, and the quality of work and professionalism was worth every dollar. Easily the best service we've had from a plumbing company

Thank you for sharing such a detailed review of your experience in La Crescenta. We believe in giving honest options and recommending the most practical solutions first, so it's great to hear that came through. We're also glad the water heater walk-through was helpful — we want our customers to feel informed every step of the way. We truly appreciate your trust and kind words about our team's professionalism.
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.
