Local drains

A Whitfords suburb from 1970

Craigie was chosen as a suburb name in 1970, after an early councillor of the City of Wanneroo. It's one of four Whitfords suburbs created after the State Government rezoned a large stretch of coastal land for housing in 1969, and Craigie Senior High School opened here in 1976.

That puts many Craigie house drains at around fifty years old. Water Corporation warns that suburbs over 20 years old are less likely to have PVC wastewater pipes, and that a hairline fracture is all a root needs to get in.

Our job notes from August 2024 to September 2026 cover 125 Craigie jobs. More than a quarter of them mention tree roots, about one in five mention relining, and more than one in ten mention a collapsed or broken pipe.

In August 2026 we were called to a Craigie home where the shower and basin were backing up while every other fixture drained fine. The drain gully was partly blocked. We jetted it clear, then ran the camera downstream and found tree roots past the gully, which were the real cause.

Ground and trees

Tall tuarts and thirsty roots

Craigie Bushland is a 56-hectare reserve and Bush Forever site 303, with very tall tuart trees standing over banksia woodland, open marri forest and shrubland. The WA Naturalists' Club describes it as sitting on Cottesloe soil, with jarrah and marri mixed through the banksia and tuart.

Big eucalypts on free-draining sand send their roots a long way in dry months. Water Corporation puts it simply: roots go looking for moisture, and water and wastewater pipes are an attractive source. Once inside, a root can grow fast enough to choke the pipe completely.

Camera first, then the cutter

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

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

    Find it

    We feed the camera in from your inspection opening or gully and stop at the blockage, so you can see whether it's roots, grease or a broken section.

  2. Two techs feeding the jetter hose into a drain

    Cut it

    The hydro jet strips grease and sand off the pipe wall. Thick root masses get the IMS Robotic Cutter, which cuts them out from inside the pipe.

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

    Prove it

    The camera goes back through so you can watch the line run clear. If roots came in through a crack, we explain tree root blockage repairs and relining before you decide.

    Blocked drains in Craigie

    Do you clear blocked drains near Craigie Bushland?

    Yes. We work on every street in Craigie, including the homes around the bushland reserve, and right across the suburbs next door. Call 0499 281 430 to book.

    Why do roots keep coming back in my Craigie drain?

    Cutting the roots out clears the pipe, but the crack or joint they came through is still there. Water Corporation notes a hairline fracture is all a root needs. If the camera shows the same gap, relining seals it from inside so the roots have nowhere to get in.

    Is a blocked sewer my problem or Water Corporation's?

    Water Corporation says blockages in your property plumbing are the owner's to fix, and blockages in its sewer main are its responsibility. If our camera finds the blockage out in the main, we tell you so you can report it.

    Is there a call-out fee to quote in Craigie?

    No. There's no call-out fee to come out and quote, and the on-site quote is free. After-hours and weekend rates can differ from weekday rates, so ask when you call.
