Blocked drains
Clarkson

Clarkson kitchen, laundry and sewer lines jetted clear. Most blockages we find here are grease and food waste, so we clear the full line, not just the sink.

Local drains

Built from the 1990s on

Clarkson stayed largely undeveloped until the early 1990s. Building around the high school began in 1995, the suburb grew through the 2000s, and the Somerly estate around the station was finished in 2008, with 1,800 lots over 162 hectares. Clarkson station opened on the northern line in October 2004.

Younger houses mean younger drains, and the blockages follow a different pattern from the older northern suburbs. Here it is less often roots and more often what goes down the sink: fat, oil, food scraps and wipes.

Our job notes from August 2024 to September 2026 cover 88 Clarkson jobs. More than a third mention a kitchen line and more than one in seven mention grease, while fewer than one in ten mention tree roots.

In September 2026 we were called to a Clarkson home where both kitchen sink lines had blocked. We cleared the upstairs line with a flexible shaft and jetted the downstairs line from the gully, then ran the camera through to check both were draining normally.

Ground and trees

Grease, not big old trees

Clarkson is about 2 kilometres from the ocean, with Neerabup National Park across the railway line to the east. The street trees and garden trees in most of the suburb are still young compared with suburbs built in the 1970s, which is part of why roots turn up less often in our Clarkson notes.

Grease is a state-wide problem. Water Corporation reported 1,152 preventable wastewater blockages across WA in 2022, and 732 of them were caused by fats, oils and grease. Perth and Peel accounted for 979. In a house drain, the same fat sets on the pipe wall long before it reaches the sewer main.

Clearing a greasy line

Camera first, then the right tool for what we find in Clarkson.

  1. CCTV monitor on gravel with the camera cable running into the drain

    See the build-up

    The camera runs in from the gully or inspection opening, so we can see how far the grease goes and whether anything else, like wipes or a dropped joint, is holding it.

  2. Two techs feeding the jetter hose into a drain

    Wash it off the wall

    The hydro jet scours set fat and food waste off the inside of the pipe and pushes it out of your line. Plunging a sink only moves the plug along, so we clear the whole run.

  3. Two techs at a side-passage pit, one checking the CCTV monitor

    Run it clear

    The camera goes back through to show the pipe wall clean. If the pipe itself has dropped or cracked, we explain drain repairs before any extra work.

    Blocked drains in Clarkson

    Why does my Clarkson kitchen sink keep blocking?

    Usually fat. Cooking oil and grease go down warm, then cool and set further along the pipe, catching food scraps as they pass. Water Corporation asks people to let fats and oils cool and set, then scrape them into the bin, and not to pour boiling water down the sink to melt them, because the oil sets again in the pipe.

    My house is fairly new. Why is the drain already blocking?

    A newer pipe doesn't stop grease, wipes or food waste building up inside it. Our Clarkson job notes mention kitchen lines far more often than tree roots, and a jetted line usually runs clear again once the build-up is gone.

    Is there a fee to come and quote in Clarkson?

    No. There's no call-out fee to quote, and you get the price before we start.

    What if it blocks late at night?

    Call 0499 281 430, which is answered 24/7. After-hours rates can be different from weekday rates, so check the rate on the call.
