Pico Rivera Water Damage Pros serves Pico Rivera first and reaches the towns around it, each with its own local page. The areas are close together, but each has a different mix of housing, streets and water concerns, so each page says what applies to that town.
If your address is not in a town listed here, call and ask. The listed towns are where local detail has been written out, not a hard border.
Pico Rivera, ZIP 90660
Pico Rivera is the home base. The city lies between the Rio Hondo on the west and the San Gabriel River on the east, at the base of Whittier Narrows Dam.
The city's own General Plan places the whole city inside the dam's inundation area. According to the General Plan, that is a reason to look up your address on the FEMA Flood Map Service Center and to ask your insurer about flood coverage, which homeowners policies do not include.
Your water provider is either the City of Pico Rivera Water Division or Pico Water District. Your water bill tells you which one, and it is the first call if the main valve at your meter needs to be shut off. Permit questions about repairs go to the city Building Division, since plumbing and electrical work almost always need a permit.
Landmarks help dispatch find you. Smith Park on Rosemead Boulevard, Rivera Park on Shade Lane and Pico Park on Beverly Boulevard are easy reference points. So are Rio Vista Park, Stream Land Park at the north end of Durfee Road, Pico Rivera Towne Center on Washington Boulevard and the Sports Arena on the north side.
Whittier, ZIPs 90601 to 90606
Whittier lies east of Pico Rivera and has the widest mix of housing in the area, from the historic districts around Uptown to the hillside and East Whittier neighborhoods. Our Whittier page covers the 90601, 90602, 90603, 90604, 90605 and 90606 ZIP codes and the local history that affects repairs.

☎ Call (562) 271-5850Downey, ZIPs 90240 to 90242
Downey is the large city to the south and southwest. About half of its homes are rented, so many water losses involve a landlord and a tenant working out who reports what. The Downey page covers the 90240, 90241 and 90242 ZIP codes.
Montebello, ZIP 90640
Montebello sits west of Pico Rivera along the Rio Hondo, with a history shaped by oil fields and an old townsite. The Montebello page covers ZIP 90640 and the neighborhoods around it.
Santa Fe Springs, ZIP 90670
Santa Fe Springs lies southeast of Pico Rivera and mixes light industry with residential streets. The Santa Fe Springs page covers ZIP 90670 and explains how that mix changes the kind of water losses that show up.
Permits, utilities and rules differ by city
Each city runs its own building department, and permit rules vary, so ask the building department of the city where the property sits before repair work starts. In Pico Rivera that is the city Building Division. Water and sewer providers differ by address too, even within one city, so the first call about a main valve or a sewer problem goes to the provider on your bill.
That is also why the town pages avoid listing rules they cannot confirm. Where a local fact could not be verified from a city, county or state source, the page tells you who to ask.
Which service do you need?
Wherever you are, the first question is the same: is water still moving? If it is, read about emergency water removal. If it has stopped, water mitigation explains the drying step. The services overview lays out all six services side by side.
General insurance note: homeowners policies often cover sudden and accidental water damage, often exclude gradual leaks, and usually exclude flood damage. Check your policy or ask your insurer before you assume either way.
