Plumber Maida Vale

Maida Vale WA 6057, City of Kalamunda. About 18 km east of the Perth CBD.

Maida Vale is a suburb about eighteen kilometres east of the Perth CBD in the City of Kalamunda, with Kalamunda Road running through it. It has been settled since the 1870s, originally as orchard country, and it is still not completely built up, retaining genuine areas of natural bushland along with a golf course and parks. For a plumber that means mature trees close to drainage on a lot of properties, large blocks with long service runs, and newer housing going in alongside the established stock.

• Mature trees and retained bushlandMaida Vale keeps real areas of natural bushland and a lot of long-established plantings from its orchard days. Roots from trees that size reach the joints in earthenware sewer lines, and root intrusion is easily the most common blockage we clear in this suburb.
• Large blocks with long service runsThe lots here are generous, so the run from the meter to the house and from the house to the sewer is longer than on a modern block. A leak on a long run can go unnoticed for months while the water bill climbs, and locating it beats digging along its length.
• Established housing beside new estate developmentHousing has been going in here since the 1870s and expansion continues on newer estate land. An older property may genuinely need a run of pipe renewed while a new one does not, so we check what a property actually has before quoting.
• A golf course and parks within the suburbThe course, ovals and parks run irrigation and amenity blocks at a scale no household does, and those fixtures take far heavier use than domestic ones. That work is scheduled around play and bookings rather than attended mid-round.
