Our reputation is built on reviews like these. We bring the same commitment to every Van Nuys area home.
We recently worked with Drip Too Hard Plumbing after our old water heater stopped working, and they were hands down the best plumber we've ever used in La Crescenta. From the first phone call, they were professional, upfront about our options, and gave us a reasonable estimate. We decided to go with a tankless water heater, and the whole installation was smooth -- they kept everything tidy and even showed us how to use the new system before they left. A few weeks later, we ran into a problem with our drains. They came out right away, handled the sewer line repair quickly, and there were no hidden costs or surprises. Everything's been working perfectly ever since. If you need a trustworthy plumber in La Crescenta, this is the team to call. Great service and worth every dollar for the peace of mind.

Thank you so much for the detailed review and for trusting us with both your tankless water heater install and the sewer line repair. I'm glad our team could keep everything tidy, walk you through the new system, and get those drains squared away without any surprises. We work hard to be upfront, fair, and fast—especially for our La Crescenta neighbors—and your peace of mind means everything to us. If you ever need anything down the road, we're here 24/7 and back our work with a 2-year workmanship warranty. — Harry, Owner Drip Too Hard Plumbing (Lic #980629)

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.
