Local drains

Mid-1970s houses, mid-1970s pipes

The name Duncraig was approved in 1969 and the bulk of the suburb was built in the mid-1970s. That makes the typical house drain here around fifty years old. Water Corporation says suburbs over 20 years old are less likely to have PVC wastewater pipes, and those older pipes are the ones roots get into.

In old earthenware clay lines the weak points are faulty joints and cracks. A root finds the gap, grows into a mat and catches whatever comes down from the toilet and the kitchen. If your drain blocks again a few months after someone rodded it, that root mat is often what the camera shows.

Ground and trees

Yellow sand over limestone

Duncraig sits on the Spearwood Dunes. The City of Joondalup's management plan for Lilburne Park describes yellow Karrakatta sand, often with limestone within two metres of the surface, and part of the suburb was once held under a sand and limestone mining lease.

The bush that's left in Lilburne Park still carries jarrah, tuart and banksia. Big trees in dry sand send roots a long way for water, and a weeping sewer joint is an easy find. Stormwater is a separate job: the City requires rain that falls on your lot to stay on it, in soakwells or similar, so a silted soakwell or a blocked downpipe line is the owner's to fix.

Camera, jet, then check

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

Find it
We run the CCTV camera in from the inspection opening and stop where the line is blocked, so you can see what it is and how far down.
Clear it
The hydro jet scours roots, grease and sand off the pipe wall. Roots a jet can't shift come out with the IMS Robotic Cutter, a camera-guided cutter that works from inside the pipe.
Check it
We run the camera through again to check it's clear. If the clay is cracked, we talk you through pipe relining before anyone reaches for a shovel.

Blocked drains in Duncraig

Do you have a plumber who covers Duncraig?

Yes. Plumbed Right clears blocked drains right across Duncraig, from Marmion Avenue to the freeway, with same-day service across Perth metro. Call 0499 281 430 and our team books you in.

Why does my Duncraig drain keep blocking?

In a house from the mid-1970s the usual causes are roots in an old sewer joint or a dip in the line where grease and paper collect. We camera the line before we quote, so you see which one it is before you pay for anything.

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

Water Corporation says blockages within the property plumbing are the owner's responsibility, and blockages in the sewer main, normally outside the property, are theirs. If our camera finds the blockage in the main, we tell you, so you can report it to Water Corporation.

Will fixing a cracked pipe mean digging up the backyard?

Usually not. A resin liner goes in through the existing access points and cures inside the old pipe, so lawns and paving stay where they are. Pipe relining work carries our 25-year warranty.
