Hamersley is an established 1960s and 1970s suburb tucked between Karrinyup, Warwick and Carine. Its housing stock and mature streetscape give it a drainage profile similar to surrounding older suburbs, with recurring blockages on aged infrastructure the most common reason we get called. Drains Plus is a Perth drainage specialist, and this page covers how we approach work in Hamersley.
Hamersley sits within the City of Stirling, which manages the local stormwater network and kerbside drainage. The housing stock is predominantly 1960s and 1970s, with steady infill replacing original homes over the past two decades. Soils are mostly Spearwood sand. Original sewer lines are typically a mix of clay and early generation PVC, with newer infill homes on modern PVC throughout. Established trees on the verge and in private gardens are a significant feature of the suburb and a regular source of root activity around drain runs.
Root intrusion is the dominant issue on older Hamersley homes, particularly on properties where the original clay sewer line is still in service. Recurring blockages at the same fixture is the usual symptom. On newer infill properties we see lines crushed or compromised by works done above them. Stormwater issues tend to be localised. CCTV inspection at the start of a recurring case is the right approach, and the long term answer, whether jetting alone, relining or targeted repair, depends on what the camera shows.
Drains Plus operates from Greenwood, a short drive from Hamersley. For most call outs we can have a plumber on site the same day, and emergency call outs are covered around the clock. We are a single location business with a single Google profile, so when you book through us you are dealing directly with the team that will arrive at your address. Most blocked drain work is covered by our fixed price guarantee, and a free plumbing health check is included on every job. If we cannot clear the drain, our service is free.
We service Hamersley as part of our wider coverage of the Perth northern suburbs. Nearby suburbs we cover include:
If you are based outside these areas, our full service area covers the Perth northern suburbs across four local government areas.
A standard clear handles a one off blockage caused by soft material or a discrete obstruction. If the same blockage returns, or if CCTV shows the line itself is cracked, separated at joints, or under root pressure, relining is usually the right long term answer. The inspection identifies which situation applies.
Public stormwater infrastructure including kerbside gullies, pits and the main network is managed by City of Stirling. If a blockage is in the public network beyond your property boundary, that is a council matter. Inside the boundary it is yours to handle, and we cover that work.
Properly installed PVC has a service life measured in decades, often longer. The failure mode is usually not the pipe itself but the joints and connections, which can move with ground settlement and create access points for tree roots. That is why CCTV is so useful on older homes. The line itself might be fine, with just a few joints needing attention.
Yes. We work on residential and commercial properties, including strata buildings, retail and hospitality. Our CCTV and high pressure jetting equipment is suited to both residential and larger commercial lines.
