Spent 35 minutes running a snake in my laundry line. It didn't work, the line is still clogged. He charged $145 for this.
I recently hired Drip Too Hard Plumbing for a repair on the water heater line at my home near the Hollywood Hills, and they exceeded every expectation. They reconnected the PEX line to the exposed copper feeding into my water heater, and the work was clean, secure, and clearly done by pros who know what they’re doing. As promised under their DTHPromise, they arrived right on time, were extremely customer-friendly, and walked me through every part of the repair so I fully understood what was happening. It’s rare to find Burbank plumbers who deliver this level of professionalism, communication, and quality. If you need reliable, honest plumbing work done — especially anything involving water heaters or line repairs — Drip Too Hard Plumbing is the team you want. Highly recommended.
From older pipes to local water conditions, we've seen it all across Winnetka.
Many Winnetka homes built in the 1950s-60s still have original galvanized pipes that are now severely corroded. These aging pipes restrict water flow and cause discolored water, especially common in the Winnetka Heights and Roscoe Village neighborhoods where post-war construction predominates.
LADWP's moderately hard water causes sediment buildup in water heaters throughout Winnetka, creating popping and rumbling sounds as the unit overheats. This is particularly problematic in older mid-century homes where original water heaters are nearing replacement time.
Winnetka's mature street trees, planted during the area's 1950s-70s development, now have extensive root systems that infiltrate aging clay sewer pipes. This problem is especially common along tree-lined streets in established neighborhoods near Mason Park and the Winnetka Recreation Center.
Mineral deposits from LADWP's moderately hard water combined with corroded galvanized pipes create pressure issues in many Winnetka homes. This problem is most severe in original post-war tract housing where pipes haven't been updated since construction.
