Blocked drains
Heathridge

Heathridge was built in waves from 1976 to the late 1990s, so pipes on one street can be decades apart. We camera yours before we quote.

Built in waves, 1976 to the 1990s

Heathridge wasn't built all at once. The first land went on sale in 1976 in the pocket bounded by Caridean Street, Admiral Grove, Ocean Reef Road and Marmion Avenue. The north and east were rezoned for housing in 1978 and released through the 1980s, and the previously empty northern and western areas filled in during the late 1990s.

So two houses a few streets apart can have drains twenty years apart in age. Water Corporation says suburbs over 20 years old are less likely to have PVC wastewater pipes, and every part of Heathridge has now passed that mark.

Our job notes from August 2024 to September 2026 cover 82 Heathridge jobs. More than four in ten mention the sewer line, more than a quarter mention tree roots, and more than one in ten mention a collapsed or broken pipe.

In August 2026 a Heathridge home had a whole-house sewer blockage. We jetted about 20 metres down the line from the rear inspection opening and cleared it. The follow-up camera inspection found heavy root intrusion and a crushed section of pipe in the Water Corporation main, about 10 metres past the inspection point.

Ground and trees

Heath on the sand ridges

The suburb's name comes from the heath-type vegetation that grew on its sand ridges, a name the developer Kaiser Aetna put forward and the Nomenclature Advisory Committee accepted in November 1974. The streets now sit where that heath was, and the trees near your pipes are mostly garden and verge plantings.

Water Corporation's tree guide says roots rely on finding moisture and pipes are an attractive source, and that verge trees should go in at least 0.5 metres from water assets. On the stormwater side, the City of Joondalup expects every lot to keep its own rain on site in soakwells or similar, with an above-ground overflow path for heavy storms. When a downpipe overflows at the top, the line to the soakwell is often the blocked part.

Three steps on every job

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

  1. Tech running a CCTV drain camera at a side-yard pit beside a Colorbond fence

    Look

    The camera goes in from the inspection opening or gully and stops at the blockage, so we both know what it is and how deep it sits.

  2. Tech in hi-vis on the trailer jetter on a suburban verge

    Clear

    The hydro jet cuts grease, sand and fine roots off the pipe wall. A solid root plug gets the IMS Robotic Cutter, working from inside the pipe.

  3. Two techs in hi-vis at an open drain pit in a garden with a CCTV reel

    Confirm

    We run the camera through again so you can see the line clear. If there's a break behind the blockage, we explain drain repairs and relining before you commit.

    Blocked drains in Heathridge

    My Heathridge house is from the late 1990s. Can it still get roots in the drain?

    It can. Even the newest parts of Heathridge are now well past the 20-year mark Water Corporation uses when it warns that older suburbs are less likely to have PVC wastewater pipes. A camera inspection shows what's under your house rather than what the street's age suggests.

    Several fixtures are gurgling at once. What does that mean?

    When the toilet, shower and kitchen all play up together, the blockage is usually in the main sewer line out of the house rather than one fixture. Stop running water and call 0499 281 430. We find it with the camera before we quote.

    Sewage is coming up in my yard. Who do I call?

    Water Corporation asks you to call 13 13 75 straight away if wastewater is overflowing on your property. If the blockage turns out to be in your own pipes, call us: sewage overflows are priority calls.

    Do you charge to come out and quote?

    No. There's no call-out fee to quote your job in Heathridge, and the on-site quote is free.
