1 month agoHere'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.
2 weeks agoGreat 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.
9 months agoDrip Too Hard Plumbing
340 Arden Ave Ste 231, Glendale, CA 91203, USA
(818) 334-9399I 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.
2 months agoI was searching for a plumber near me that made it easy to book online, and stumbled upon Drip Too Hard Plumbing honestly, they were the only company with a fast, modern website that showed real prices and offered instant online booking. A few months ago, Harry and Jon came out to our home in Emerald Isle near the Chevy Chase Country Club to inspect our sewer line through the inside access point. They arrived right on time, wore shoe covers the whole visit, and clearly showed us the root blockage on camera. They completed the sewer line repair the same day, and even though they had to dig in the front yard, they cleaned up so well you’d never know any work had been done. Since that first repair, we’ve also had them handle a bathroom plumbing remodel and a water softener installation, and once again, the experience was flawless. Their DTH Promise fast response, honest communication, and real warranty coverage proved true from start to finish. It made us feel safe about the work and confident that we finally found a reliable Glendale plumber we can count on for any future Glendale plumbing service needs. The pricing was very fair for the quality and professionalism they deliver.
4 months agoI needed a reliable plumber in Tujunga and contacted Drip Too Hard Plumbing for a tankless water heater problem that was showing an error code and not producing consistent hot water. I had planned to flush the unit myself until I discovered the previous homeowner's installer never installed service valves, so the job quickly became more than I could manage. From the first call, communication was clear and professional. They started by installing the proper service valves so the existing tankless water heater could be flushed and diagnosed correctly. After the flush, the unit continued to throw the same error code, and it unfortunately became clear the system had reached the end of its life. I truly appreciated and respected Drip Too Hard Plumbing's honesty and work to that point and chose to continue the job with them. They explained everything in detail and wrote off the cost of the attempted repair instead of charging for work that didn’t solve the issue. We moved forward with a full tankless water heater replacement, and the new unit was installed cleanly and efficiently. Everything was fully tested, there were no error codes, and the hot water has been working perfectly since. If you’re looking for a trustworthy plumber near me in the Tujunga area who stands behind their work and communicates clearly, I’d highly recommend Drip Too Hard Plumbing.

3900 W Alameda Ave #1426, Burbank, CA 91505, USA
(818) 208-7209We 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.

No mess left behind, no pressure, no upselling — just solid work when we needed it most.

1 month agoI 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.

Finding a plumber in Burbank who actually communicates and shows up on time is rare, but these guys do it every time. I’d recommend Drip Too Hard Plumbing Burbank to anyone who wants honest pricing and real craftsmanship.
4 months agoClean Out Plumbing & Rooter
321 E 4th Ave, La Habra, CA 90631, USA
(562) 579-5294We had a shower drain that was becoming progressively slow. I attempted to snake it myself a couple times as I am usually able to clear it, but this time no luck. Called Clean Out, quickly got a response and Bryant showed up on time as promised. After repeated attempts, he took a look further and determined that it was likely a partially blocked old galvanized/cast iron pipe which is exactly what it turned out to be. Nobody likes plumbing problems, but these guys responded quickly, assessed the issue, provided me with options, set expectations so that there would be no surprises, provided a great service and stood behind their work with a 5 year warranty. On top of that, Marco (the owner) followed up a few days later to see if I was happy with the work. All of this at what I felt was a fair price for the amount of work that needed to be done. Honesty, good work, and a fair price. That's what you want in a plumbing service. I would certainly use them again and would recommend them in a second. Mauro Livi

1 month agoProfessional Drain Cleaning in Pasadena
Pasadena’s historic charm, from the iconic Craftsman homes in Bungalow Heaven to the vibrant storefronts of Old Pasadena, comes with its own set of unique plumbing challenges. Aging infrastructure and historic architecture often mean that residents face slower drains and unexpected backups more frequently than in newer developments. Our service is designed to take the stress out of home maintenance in the Crown City. We don't just provide a list of names; we utilize a sophisticated filtering system that identifies certified plumbers within your exact Pasadena zip code. We then go the extra mile by calling them to confirm they have the tools and the time to solve your specific drain issue today. Whether you are near the Rose Bowl or closer to the Huntington Library, we ensure you get a verified professional without the hassle of making dozen of calls yourself.
Common Drain Issues in Pasadena
Historic Pipe Corrosion: Many homes in Pasadena's landmark districts feature original galvanized steel or cast iron pipes. Over the decades, these pipes develop internal scaling and rust, which snag hair and soap scum, leading to stubborn clogs that basic hardware store snakes simply cannot clear.
Invasive Tree Roots: Pasadena is famous for its lush canopy of Oak and Jacaranda trees. While beautiful, their powerful root systems are notorious for seeking out moisture in underground sewer lines, causing significant blockages and even pipe collapses that require professional hydro-jetting.
San Gabriel Valley Hard Water: Like much of the region, Pasadena's water has a high mineral content. This leads to calcium and magnesium buildup inside your drainage system, narrowing the diameter of your pipes over time and making total obstructions much more likely.
Old Sewer Line Shifts: The soil conditions near the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains can cause older clay sewer pipes to shift or crack. This leads to frequent backups and gurgling sounds in your sinks and toilets, especially in homes built before the 1960s.
Seasonal Drain Maintenance Tips for Pasadena
Fall Pre-Rain Clearing: Before the winter rains arrive in the San Gabriel Valley, ensure your outdoor area drains and yard grates are clear of fallen leaves to prevent localized flooding around your foundation.
Holiday Kitchen Care: With Pasadena being a hub for hosting during the Rose Parade and Rose Bowl season, avoid putting fibrous scraps or grease down the disposal; these are the leading causes of emergency calls in late December.
Spring Root Maintenance: As Pasadena’s heritage trees enter their peak growth phase in the spring, consider a preventative camera inspection if you notice slow drainage, as this is when root intrusion is most aggressive.
Summer Low-Flow Flushes: During hot, dry spells, low-flow fixtures may not provide enough water to move solids through older, flat-graded Pasadena sewer lines. Occasionally flushing your drains with a bucket of hot water can help keep things moving.
Average Drain Cleaning Costs in Pasadena
Pricing for drain cleaning in Pasadena typically depends on the accessibility of the clog, the age of the plumbing, and the technology required (such as motorized snaking vs. hydro-jetting).
Frequently Asked Questions about Drain Cleaning in Pasadena
How quickly can I get a plumber to my home in Pasadena?
By using our zip code filtering and manual verification service, we can often find a certified plumber in the 91101, 91105, or 91107 areas who can arrive within a few hours of your request.
Do you have plumbers who specialize in historic Pasadena homes?
Yes, our network includes local experts familiar with the specific needs of historic properties in areas like Bungalow Heaven and the Arroyo Seco, ensuring they handle older pipes with the necessary care.
Why do my drains gurgle every time it rains in Pasadena?
In many Pasadena neighborhoods, heavy rain can put pressure on older sewer lateral lines or cause debris to shift. This is often a sign of a partial blockage or root intrusion that requires a professional camera inspection.
Is hydro-jetting safe for the older clay pipes found in Pasadena?
A certified plumber will always perform a camera inspection first. If your clay pipes are structurally sound, hydro-jetting is a highly effective, chemical-free way to clear out years of buildup and roots common in local lines.
Are there 24-hour drain cleaning services available near the Rose Bowl?
Absolutely. We specifically verify 24-hour availability within your Pasadena zip code to ensure that even during major events or holidays, you can find a pro who is ready to respond immediately.
