Whittier is a quiet old-LA city with a solid Spanish-revival downtown and rolling hillside neighborhoods up east. Uptown stock is largely 1920s-1940s, with a strong wave of 1950s tract building further south and east. The hillside areas have their own drainage issues. Slope flow, oak-tree root intrusion into older drain stacks.
Most water emergencies we dispatch to in Whittier fall into a few patterns:
- 1920s downtown craftsman roofs leaking into lath-and-plaster ceilings during winter rain
- Oak-root intrusion damaging cast-iron drain laterals in hillside homes
- 1950s slab homes with original-era supply line failures
- Friendly Hills storm runoff finding its way into garages and crawls
