Noranda is the only suburb in our service area that falls within the City of Bayswater rather than Stirling or Joondalup. Its housing stock dates predominantly from the 1960s and 1970s, with mature streetscapes and established gardens that have grown up around the original drain runs. Drains Plus is a Perth drainage specialist with more than 20,000 jobs cleared across the metro, and this page covers how we approach drainage work in Noranda.
Noranda sits within the City of Bayswater, which manages the public stormwater network and kerbside drainage connections in the suburb. This is worth knowing because the council you deal with for any public infrastructure issue differs from the surrounding suburbs to the west and north, which fall under City of Stirling. The original housing stock dates from the 1960s through to the early 1980s, with infill activity adding newer homes over the past two decades. Soils are predominantly Bassendean sand. Original sewer lines on older properties are usually clay or early generation PVC, with newer homes on modern PVC throughout. The suburb has a strong mature tree canopy on streets and in private gardens, which is a significant factor in the local drainage profile.
Root intrusion is the most common single problem in older Noranda homes, driven by the combination of mature trees and aged clay or early PVC joints. We see this most often as recurring blockages at the same fixture that come back a few months after clearing. On newer infill builds, we see lines crushed or compromised by construction works done over the original run, often visible only after the original protective fill has settled. Stormwater issues tend to be localised, often centred on gullies and pits that have not been cleared in years and have built up significant leaf and sand deposits. CCTV is the right starting point on most recurring problems. For older lines with root intrusion in an otherwise sound pipe, relining at the affected sections is the standard long term answer.
Drains Plus operates from Greenwood, a short drive from Noranda. 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 Noranda 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.
For private drainage on your own property, no. Bayswater’s role kicks in beyond the property boundary, where it manages the public stormwater network and the gully connections at the kerb. If a CCTV inspection shows a problem past your boundary, we will tell you what to report to City of Bayswater.
Recurring blockages almost always indicate an underlying problem in the line itself, most often root intrusion through a joint or crack. Clearing removes the blockage but not the access point. A CCTV inspection identifies exactly where the issue is and from there we can talk about the right long term answer.
In simple terms, a new liner is installed inside the existing pipe and cured in place, creating a new pipe within the old one. The line is restored to full flow capacity, cracks and joints are sealed from the inside, and there is no excavation needed in most cases. Most relining jobs are completed in a day.
Yes. We work on residential and commercial properties across Noranda, including strata buildings, retail centres and hospitality sites. Our CCTV and jetting equipment is suited to larger diameter commercial lines.
