Common drain and sewer problems in Whittier
Whittier has plenty of mature trees and older homes, and that combination shows up in the sewer line. The most common causes we find are tree roots, old cast iron pipe that has scaled shut, and broken sewer pipe. Early warning signs are gurgling drains or a bubbling toilet and clogs that return every year.
If sewage is coming up right now, stop using water and call. Read what to do during a sewage backup.

“My toilet was backed up. David arrived on time, was polite and very professional. He explained everything he was doing and showed me the work after. Most affordable plumbing service I found. Highly recommend!”
“Called the day before for the $55 drain unclogging special. Came out within the 1 hr window, checked and snaked the drains from the shower vent. Thorough and very affordable. Would recommend. Thanks!”
“David was great — cautious, took extra time to locate the issue, ran a couple snakes before the big one, and cleaned up all the mess. Didn’t try to oversell. One of the best plumbers I’ve ever met.”
Common questions
My toilet keeps clogging in Whittier. Is it the main line?
If other drains act up when you flush, the main line may be the problem. A camera inspection tells you for sure.
How do you remove tree roots from a sewer line?
We cut them with a cutting head, hydro jetting or robotic cutters, depending on what the camera shows.
