Whittier's Topography & Historic Sewer Challenges
Located directly north of La Mirada, Whittier is one of the most historically rich communities in Southern California. Its housing stock ranges from century-old craftsman and Spanish colonial homes in central Whittier to mid-century ranch homes in East Whittier and steep hillside estates nestled along the Whittier Hills.
This diverse topography creates distinct sewer conditions. Older properties frequently feature original vitrified clay or cast iron sewer laterals that have been subjected to decades of soil movement and the root systems of massive native oaks, eucalyptus, and sycamores. In hillside areas, extreme pipe slopes can accelerate waste velocity while leaving heavier solids stranded in flatter transitions. Hydro jetting scours these complex lines clean from cleanout to city connection.
