Local drains

Built 1979 to 1995

Woodvale stayed mostly rural until the late 1970s. Houses started going up in 1979, and the suburb was finished by 1995 with the release of the Woodvale Waters estate. So the oldest drains here are in their late forties and the newest are past thirty.

That's younger than the coastal suburbs, but not young. Water Corporation's guide to planting trees near pipes warns that suburbs over 20 years old are less likely to have PVC wastewater pipes, and that a root needs only a hairline fracture to get in. We'd rather see your pipe on camera than guess what it's made of.

Ground and trees

Between the lakes

The Bush Forever description of Yellagonga Regional Park names it Wanneroo/Woodvale/Kingsley and says the park holds Lake Joondalup and Lake Goollelal. The ground is Spearwood dune sand over Tamala Limestone, with swamp deposits around the wetlands.

The lake edges carry paperbark and flooded gum woodland, and the higher ground was once jarrah, marri and banksia. In garden beds and verges, roots follow moisture, and a leaking sewer joint is moisture. Loose sand is the other Woodvale regular: it washes into stormwater lines and settles in soakwells.

Our Woodvale process

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

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

    See it

    The drain camera tells us whether we're dealing with a root mat, a fat build-up, sand or a broken section, and where it is.

  2. Two techs feeding the jetter hose into a drain

    Shift it

    We clear the line with the hydro jet. If roots have grown solid, the IMS Robotic Cutter cuts them back from inside the pipe.

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

    Show you

    You watch the camera run through a clear pipe. If the pipe itself is damaged, we talk through repair and relining, and you can read more about a CCTV drain inspection.

    Blocked drains in Woodvale

    My house is in Woodvale Waters. Can it still have root problems?

    It can. Woodvale Waters was released in 1995, so even those homes are 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 you've actually got.

    Sewage is coming up in my yard. What do I do?

    Stop running water in the house. Water Corporation asks you to call 13 13 75 straight away if wastewater is overflowing on your property or causing damage. If the blockage is in your own pipes, call us on 0499 281 430: we treat sewage overflows as priority calls.

    Which council looks after Woodvale?

    Most of Woodvale is in the City of Joondalup. A small strip between Yellagonga Regional Park and Wanneroo Road is in the City of Wanneroo. Either way, the drains inside your boundary are yours, and we clear them.

    What do you use to clear the drain?

    A hydro jet for grease, silt and most roots, and the IMS Robotic Cutter for roots a jet can't shift. We camera the line before and after, so you see the difference.
