Uptown Whittier

We clean drain and sewer lines across the City of Whittier and the neighboring unincorporated communities that share its ZIP codes. Find your neighborhood for local pipe history, common problems and the services available there.
Whittier’s neighborhoods were built in distinct eras — early-1900s homes around Uptown, postwar subdivisions on former citrus and walnut groves to the east and south — and their pipes reflect it. Each area page explains what that means for your drains.
Note that a Whittier mailing address doesn’t always mean the City of Whittier maintains your street sewer: South Whittier, West Whittier–Los Nietos and parts of East Whittier are unincorporated Los Angeles County. Your lateral is your responsibility either way. Learn who maintains what →
