This company does beautiful work!! On time quick response to my needs. Litterly had to do sooo much work replacing the hot water heater in my apartment on top I'm having to install proper drainage out into the street for it because before there was no pan catching the condensation so it was just literally leaking into the foundation of the apartment. Their work is amazing, the gentleman and that came out cleaned up really well afterwards very courteous very nice. I would recommend this company hands down ! They came out for the estimate and they were here the next morning at 8:50 a.m. for a 9:00 appointment and work their butts off all the way to 6:00 p.m.!!! And now they got to come back and work on rebuilding all the whole drainage system for my bathtub.. I can't wait to see what they do next!! Thanks sooo much New Generation Plumbing!!You are all greatly appreciated!! 🫶🏼🙏🏻🙌🏻

Here's what you need to know if you're reading this review in a panic: We had a pretty serious mystery leak that we couldn't solve. Fernando from New Generation Plumbing arrived the same day and fixed a pretty serious blockage by clearing a pipe and replacing a section that ruptured. He and the crew that joined him got the job done in under three hours at a very fair price given the crappy circumstances. Now here's the long version: Before we plunge into this review, I need to set the stage: my wife is the sort of person who will call a professional at the first sign of trouble (in this case we had a very mysterious leak) while I'm the sort who will fall down the YouTube rabbit hole and try to fix things myself. This makes for an interesting dynamic, especially when the ceiling of your garage is suddenly leaking. New Generation Plumbing came at the recommendation of our neighbor who'd used them before and was very satisfied with their work. Fernando showed up the same day and on the early side of his arrival window. He got right to work in finding the cause of the leak and graciously listened to me as I recounted the steps I'd taken to find the leak, including cutting out a section of our garage's drywall ceiling to get a good look at the pipe I didn't know was on the other side. (This would have been his first move, btw.) This leak was a weird one because it came and went a few times over the course of a couple days and was bone dry when Fernando did his inspection. We went through and flushed all the toilets, ran all the sinks and showers, and double checked the areas around the dishwasher, fridge, and washing machine were all dry but there was nary a drip. It wasn't until we tried running the washing machine that water started spraying out of an otherwise good looking pipe. Turns out we had a blockage that was severe enough to rupture the pipe in a spot on its backside that would have been impossible to see. Oh, and this blockage was probably 20 years in the making to match the age of our house. Now that we found the source of the problem, Fernando gave us a quote that was a lot less worse than I would have guessed and got right to work. He called in some backup to give him a hand to clear that backed up pipe one 50 gallon container at a time and humored my attempts to play helper. In the end, it was probably a 2.5 hour job and we have a section of brand new pipe. While they were here, Fernando did a quick quote on what it would cost to add a "clean out" to that pipe. It runs the width of our house and connects to the line that leads to the city sewer. Adding a clean out would make fixing a future blockage much easer but would also require some pretty serious digging so we'll save that job for another time.

Great service! My husband called for an estimate, they came out the next day, the price was reasonable and they were able to start that day. The plumbers did a great job. It looks wonderful. It was quick. I was so glad that they could start right away. I highly recommend this company if you’re looking for a plumber. The two areas where we had leaks are no longer there.

I needed hydro jetting at my home in Burbank after my sewer line backed up and called Drip Too Hard Plumbing. Erik came out on a Sunday and showed up right on time, which I really appreciated. He explained the hydro cleaning process clearly and used professional equipment to fully clear the main sewer line. Everything is draining perfectly now. If you’re looking for a reliable plumber in Burbank for hydro jetting or sewer cleaning, I definitely recommend Erik and Drip Too Hard Plumbing.

We had a full house drain backup that hit us out of nowhere, and it turned into a real emergency fast. Toilets, sinks everything was backing up at the same time. We’re in Burbank, near Castaway, and it was one of those situations where you can’t wait until the next day. I called Drip Too Hard Plumbing, and they responded immediately. They showed up prepared, explained what was going on step by step, and got straight to work. You could tell they’ve handled these kinds of backups before calm, professional, and focused on fixing the problem the right way, not just rushing through it. They ran the drain line, cleared the blockage, and made sure the entire system was flowing properly again before packing up. No mess left behind, no pressure, no upselling — just solid work when we needed it most. If you’re in Burbank and need a plumber near you, especially for an emergency drain issue or a whole house backup, I highly recommend Drip Too Hard Plumbing. They came through when it mattered.

I recently had to deal with an unexpected plumbing emergency at one of my rental units in the Starlight Hills area of Burbank off Kenneth Rd, and Drip Too Hard Plumbing came through for me in a huge way. My tenant called late in the evening about a major backup, and I needed someone trustworthy to handle it fast since I couldn’t get there myself. I searched for a Burbank plumber and reached out to DTHP, and they immediately set the tone with clear communication and real professionalism. They went out the same day, performed a full emergency sewer line inspection, showed my tenant exactly what was happening in the line, and then completed a hydro jetting service on the spot to clear the issue before it got any worse. What stood out most was how calm, respectful, and transparent they were with both me and my tenant no pressure, no fear tactics, just real solutions. You can genuinely feel their DTHPromise in the way they operate: on time, clean work, straight answers, and no surprises on the bill. If you’re anywhere in Burbank and searching for a plumber near me, or need help with a sewer backup, drain issue, or hydro jetting, I honestly can’t recommend Drip Too Hard Plumbing enough. They made a stressful situation incredibly easy, and my tenant was taken care of from start to finish.

I had a water leak coming from a second-floor toilet, and John’s Plumbing and Drain Services was able to send a technician out the same day. Aric was professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. He quickly diagnosed the issue as a failed wax ring and replaced it with a double wax ring to ensure it would last longer. The leak was resolved, and the whole process was smooth and stress-free. Pricing was fair for the quality of service and same-day response. Very satisfied and would definitely recommend them.

Was lucky to have Uzziel hydro blast my storm drains before the big storm (209 feet)…but the good part was that he is totally professional, knows what he is doing and got the job done quickly and efficiently. He explained the process to me so I knew what to expect and what could possibly happen if there were an obstruction. Lucky enough everything went without a hitch and he was done in about an hour. His communication setting up the appointment with me was great and he responded to all my messages/questions. Thanks Uzziel for the 5 star service!!

Plumber 007 Plumbing Services Paramount did a fantastic job for us! The technician arrived right on time and was both friendly and professional. We were really worried because we’re selling our house in Paramount, had an inspection scheduled soon, and the kitchen sink was completely clogged. Another plumbing company had come out before but couldn’t fix the issue—they just told us to call someone else. Luckily, we got an appointment for the next morning. The technician quickly found the problem and fixed it. It turned out the previous plumber hadn’t reconnected the water pipe properly, which left water pooling under our sink. Everything works perfectly now. I highly recommend this company and will definitely call them again for any plumbing needs. The workers really know what they’re doing and look ready to handle any job. Very satisfied with the service!

I've had to call for emergency plumbing help twice, and both times I was able to get same-day service. The plumbers even arrived earlier than expected after checking with me first to make sure it was okay. Every plumber who came out was friendly and took the time to explain my options, providing several quotes so I could make the best choice for my situation. The repairs were finished quickly, the price was fair, and they left my home clean with no mess. I also noticed that newer plumbers were learning on the job alongside experienced technicians, and the senior plumber did a great job teaching and guiding them. It’s obvious this company cares about doing quality work and making sure their team is well-trained. Highly recommend for any plumbing needs!

Professional Drain Cleaning in Los Angeles

Los Angeles is a city on the move, and a clogged drain shouldn't bring your day to a halt. From the historic bungalows of Silver Lake to the high-rises of Downtown LA, plumbing systems across the Southland face unique challenges. Our service simplifies the search for help by scanning our network of certified Los Angeles plumbers, filtering them by your specific zip code, and personally calling to confirm they can solve your issue today. We take the guesswork out of finding a reliable technician in the vast LA metro area. Whether you're dealing with a slow kitchen sink or a major sewer backup, we ensure you’re connected with a professional who is actually ready to work. By the time we connect you, you can rest easy knowing a qualified local expert is on standby and ready to navigate the 405 or the 101 to get to your door.

Common Drain Issues in Los Angeles

Invasive Root Systems: In many Los Angeles neighborhoods, beautiful older trees—including iconic palms and ficus—have root systems that seek out moisture in aging sewer lines. These roots can penetrate clay or cast iron pipes, causing recurring blockages that require professional hydro-jetting or snaking.

Hard Water Buildup: Southern California is known for its hard water. Over time, mineral deposits like calcium and magnesium build up inside Los Angeles pipes, narrowing the passage and making it easier for grease and hair to create stubborn clogs.

Aging Infrastructure: Many homes in areas like Hancock Park or West Adams feature vintage plumbing that hasn't been updated in decades. These older pipes are prone to corrosion and "belly" sagging, which traps debris and leads to frequent drainage failures.

Sandy Soil & Shifting Ground: The seismic activity and sandy soil conditions in the LA basin can cause pipes to shift or crack. Even a slight misalignment can catch waste and lead to a total blockage that requires a camera inspection to locate.

Seasonal Drain Maintenance Tips for Los Angeles

Post-Rain Debris: After a rare Los Angeles rainstorm, check your outdoor area drains. Silt and leaf debris from the dry season often wash into the lines, causing backyard flooding.

Holiday Grease Prep: Before hosting Thanksgiving or Hollywood parties, avoid putting fats and oils down the disposal. LA's "Fatbergs" start in residential kitchen sinks.

Summer Drought Care: During dry spells, tree roots become more aggressive in their search for water. Consider a preventative root-clearing service in early summer to avoid a mid-August backup.

Dust and Construction: With the constant renovation projects across Los Angeles, construction dust and debris can easily enter drains. Keep your drains covered if you or your neighbors are doing significant remodeling.

Average Drain Cleaning Costs in Los Angeles

$175-$550

Prices in Los Angeles vary based on the severity of the clog, the equipment required (such as motorized snakes vs. hydro-jetting), and whether the issue is in a single fixture or the main sewer line.

Frequently Asked Questions about Drain Cleaning in Los Angeles

How quickly can I get a drain cleaner to my home in Los Angeles?

Because we filter by your specific zip code and call to verify immediate availability, we often find Los Angeles technicians who can arrive within 2 to 4 hours of your request.

Do Los Angeles plumbers offer 24/7 emergency services?

Yes, many of the certified plumbers in our LA network operate 24/7. We specifically call to confirm they have a technician ready for your emergency before we send them your way.

Why is my Los Angeles home prone to recurring clogs?

LA's hard water and invasive tree roots are the most common culprits. If you live in an older neighborhood, your pipes may also have "scaling" or mineral buildup that requires professional descaling.

Is hydro-jetting better than snaking for LA sewer lines?

In Los Angeles, where root intrusion is common, hydro-jetting is often the superior choice as it clears the entire pipe diameter, whereas a snake might only punch a small hole through the blockage.

Do I need a permit for drain repair in the City of Los Angeles?

For standard drain cleaning or snaking, no permit is required. However, if the cleaning reveals a broken pipe that requires excavation under an LA street or sidewalk, your plumber will need to coordinate with the LADWP or Bureau of Sanitation.
