Plumber Churchlands

Churchlands WA 6018, City of Stirling. About 8 km north-west of the Perth CBD.

Churchlands was named in 1891, when the Roman Catholic Church bought the land from the Trigg family, but the suburb most people know was built from the 1980s onward. That gives it a consistent housing age, and a consistent set of plumbing problems arriving at the same time.

• Herdsman Lake on the eastern boundaryThe 300 hectare lake sits right against the suburb, so properties on that side run a high water table. Soak wells fill and clear slowly through winter, which is why stormwater and surface drainage work is a bigger part of what we do in Churchlands than in most Stirling suburbs.
• Housing built largely from the 1980sA suburb built over a short window ages as one. Copper supply lines, first-generation hot water units and original tapware in Churchlands are all reaching end of life together, so we see the same repairs repeating street to street.
• Mature verge trees through the older streetsThe street trees planted with the estates are now well established, and their roots find the joints in older stormwater and sewer runs. We clear root-blocked drains here regularly and put a camera down to confirm whether the line needs relining.
• Churchlands Senior High School and the Cambridge Street businessesThe school campus and the commercial strip are high-traffic premises where a blocked drain or a failed hot water service stops the day. We take these on with after-hours call-outs so the work happens outside school and trading hours.
