Drains Plus is a Perth based drainage specialist operating from a single base in Greenwood. From there we service 18 suburbs across four local government areas in the Perth northern suburbs. This page is the canonical inventory of where we cover and how our coverage is organised. If you have a blocked drain in any of the suburbs below, you are inside our standard same day service area. Each suburb has a dedicated page covering the local drainage profile, the typical problems we see in that area, and how we approach the work. Use the suburb links below to jump straight to your area, or read through the section for your council to see how we have organised the coverage.
We operate as a single business with a single Google profile and a single team. When you book through Drains Plus you are dealing directly with the team that arrives at your address, not a dispatch network forwarding calls to subcontractors. Our Greenwood base sits roughly central to the service area, with most call outs reaching site within a same day window for standard jobs and around the clock for emergencies.
That centralised model has implications worth understanding. We do not maintain a network of local sub branches with their own addresses, because that would mean either inflating our cost base or relying on third party subcontractors. Both compromise the consistency we are known for. Our approach is the opposite: one team, one base, one Google profile, accountable to one set of customer reviews. The service area is defined by where we can reach quickly from Greenwood, which is the entire Perth northern suburbs corridor.
Our 18 service area suburbs sit across four local government areas. Each council manages public stormwater and kerbside drainage in its own area, which is worth knowing if a problem extends past your property boundary. Inside the boundary, the work is the same regardless of which council area you are in.
The City of Stirling covers the largest share of our service area, with the established residential suburbs that sit just inland from the coastal strip. Most homes were built between the 1950s and 1980s, with original clay or early generation PVC sewer lines still in service across older sections. Mature street trees and established private gardens mean root intrusion is the dominant single drainage issue we deal with in this part of Perth. The City of Stirling manages public stormwater and kerbside drainage across these suburbs.
The City of Joondalup covers our coastal suburbs and the family suburbs immediately inland. The drainage profile here is dominated by coastal sand conditions on the western side and mid era PVC infrastructure further inland. The summer water table sits higher closer to the coast, which influences how stormwater systems behave through autumn and winter. The City of Joondalup manages public stormwater and kerbside connections in these suburbs.
The City of Wanneroo covers our newer growth suburbs in the far north of the service area. Most homes here were built from the early 2000s onward, with modern PVC infrastructure throughout. The problem profile in these suburbs is different to the older established areas further south, centred more on construction era issues, post handover landscaping damage, and boundary connection problems rather than age related infrastructure failure.
One suburb in our service area falls within the City of Bayswater rather than Stirling or Joondalup. The council you deal with for any public infrastructure issue depends on which local government area you are in, but the work we do on private drainage inside the boundary is the same in any council area we cover.
Regardless of which suburb you are in, our core service offering is the same. Most jobs across the service area involve one or more of the following:
We have built our reputation across the Perth northern suburbs on a few things we hold ourselves to on every job:
Possibly. The 18 suburbs above are the ones we are confident we can service same day from our Greenwood base, which is why they are listed in our Google Business Profile. If your suburb is in the Perth northern suburbs but not on this list, give us a call. We may still be able to attend depending on the job and the day. We do not list a suburb in our service area unless we can genuinely reach it quickly, because credibility on response time matters more than the size of the map.
No. Our pricing is consistent across the service area, including the fixed price guarantee on most blocked drain work. Travel time is part of how we operate, not a separate line item on the invoice. A customer in Madeley or Darch at the northern edge of our coverage pays the same as a customer in Stirling or Karrinyup closer to our base.
The 18 suburbs we cover sit across four local government areas: the City of Stirling, the City of Joondalup, the City of Wanneroo and the City of Bayswater. The grouping reflects how public stormwater and drainage infrastructure is administered. Anything within your property boundary is your responsibility as the owner. Anything in the public network beyond the boundary is managed by your local council or by Water Corporation. If a problem sits past the boundary, we tell you which council to report it to.
We are primarily a north of the river specialist. The Greenwood base is centrally located for the Perth northern suburbs, and that is where the bulk of our work is. We can travel south for specific jobs if needed, but for routine work you are better served by a south of the river drainage specialist. If you are unsure, give us a call and we will tell you honestly whether the job suits our coverage.
We have made the deliberate choice to operate as a single business from a single base with a single Google profile. Spinning up satellite offices would mean either inflating our cost base, which hurts your pricing, or relying on third party subcontractors, which hurts consistency. The Greenwood base is centrally located for the suburbs we cover, and the same day response times we offer reflect that, not a network of local sub branches.
For standard jobs across the 18 suburbs we cover, same day attendance is the norm. Emergency call outs are available around the clock. Travel time from Greenwood to any suburb in our service area is short enough that it does not meaningfully change response times across the coverage area.
