Sewer Lines Under Whittier Homes
Much of Whittier was built in the decades after World War II, and sewer laterals from that era were usually clay or cast iron. Roots and cracked joints are what the camera finds most.
What we run into in Whittier
- Aging pipe. In older Whittier neighborhoods, sewer laterals are often the original clay or cast iron, laid in short sections with a joint every few feet.
- Tree roots. Mature trees send roots toward the warm, damp air leaking from a cracked joint. Once inside, they grow into a mat that catches everything.
- Concrete over the line. On compact Whittier lots the lateral usually runs under concrete for part of its length, which is where an open trench gets expensive.

Pipe lining (CIPP)
A resin-soaked liner is fed into the old pipe and cured hard, leaving a smooth, jointless pipe inside it.
Pipe bursting
A bursting head breaks the old line outward while new HDPE pipe is pulled in behind it, pit to pit.
Spot repairs
One cracked joint or root entry point sealed with a short sectional liner, when the rest of the line is sound.

Sewer Line Failures We See Around Whittier
Below are the faults behind most jobs for trenchless sewer line repair in Whittier, CA, from root mats to flattened fiber pipe.
Roots in the line
Roots enter through cracked or loose joints and grow into a mat. They are cut out, then lining seals the joints.
Cracked or offset pipe
Cracks, holes and joints that have slipped out of line leak and snag waste. Lining covers them with new pipe.
Corroded or collapsing pipe
Cast iron scales and rots from inside, and Orangeburg flattens. Cast iron is often lined; Orangeburg is usually burst.
Several drains slow at once
One slow sink is a local clog. Tubs, toilets and sinks slowing together point to the main line.
Toilets gurgle or bubble
Air pushed back through the trap when other fixtures drain means the line is partly blocked downstream.
Clogs that keep coming back
If the line needs snaking every few months, something in the pipe, usually roots or a break, is catching waste.
Can't tell which one you have? Describe what the drains are doing, and the likely cause comes back on the call.
Line It or Burst It? Deciding in Whittier
Lining suits a pipe that still holds its shape: cracks, root entry, corrosion and small offsets. Bursting suits a pipe that is collapsed, flattened or too small, because it replaces the line rather than coating it.
Still unsure which way your line will go? Call (833) 529-2616 with the age of the house and what the drains are doing. You will hear what a camera inspection is likely to show before anyone comes out.
