Seventy years of Sorrento homes

Sorrento was surveyed as a private subdivision in 1929, but residents only started moving in during the early 1950s, and until 1981 the area still counted as part of Marmion. Houses went up in waves from the 1950s to the 1980s, so one street can hold drains of quite different ages.

That spread matters when a drain blocks. Water Corporation's tree guide says 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. An early-fifties house and a late-seventies one can block for different reasons, which is why we look before we quote.

Ground and trees

White coastal sand near the beach

A planning report for the Sorrento centre places it on the Quindalup Dune System, the youngest dune formation on the coast: loose white calcareous sand, sometimes called Safety Bay Sand. Further inland the Spearwood dunes bring yellow sand over pale limestone.

Loose sand travels. It gets into stormwater pipes and soakwells through open joints and grates, then drops out where the pipe runs flat. The same report describes the area's vegetation running to dense tuart woodland, and big trees still push roots under driveways and into tired sewer joints.

Find it, clear it, show you

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

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

    Camera first

    The CCTV camera goes in at an access point and follows the line until it meets the blockage, so we know its depth and cause before we price anything.

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

    Jet or cut

    Sand, silt and grease come out with the hydro jet. Roots that won't let go get the IMS Robotic Cutter.

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

    Second look

    The camera goes back through so you can watch the pipe running clear. If a joint has opened up, we explain the repair options, including pipe relining with no digging.

    Blocked drains in Sorrento

    Can a Sorrento plumber come out today?

    Plumbed Right offers same-day service across Perth metro, and Sorrento is in the northern suburbs where we have our strongest coverage. Call 0499 281 430, tell us what the drain is doing and we'll give you a time.

    Does beach sand really block house drains?

    It can. Sorrento sits on loose coastal sand, and sand that washes into stormwater pipes or soakwells settles wherever the fall flattens out. A jet flushes it out, and the camera shows whether a broken joint is letting more in.

    Do you charge just to come and look?

    No. There's no call-out fee to come out and quote your job, and the on-site quote is free. You see the price before you decide on any work.

    Is Plumbed Right licensed?

    Yes. Plumbed Right holds plumbing licence PL7390, has been a Perth family-owned business since 2005 and is rated 4.9 on Google from 769 reviews (Oct 2026).
