Plumber Mundijong

Mundijong WA 6123, Shire of Serpentine-Jarrahdale. About 42 km south-east of the Perth CBD.

Mundijong lies about forty-two kilometres south-east of the Perth CBD in the Shire of Serpentine-Jarrahdale, grown up around the junction of the Jarrahdale timber railway and the main line south, with a planing mill once at its centre. It remains a small town surrounded by rural land. For a plumber that means old town housing on ageing drainage, unsewered rural blocks on septic systems, bores and tanks doing the supply work, and a small commercial centre.

• Old town housing with old drainageSome of the Mundijong town properties have been there for generations, and their sewer and waste lines show it. Recurring blockages in those houses reflect the condition of the pipe rather than what is going into it, so a camera inspection settles it.
• Rural blocks on septic systemsAway from the town centre, properties run septic tanks and leach drains rather than a sewer connection. Those systems fail slowly and quietly, so a pump-out every few years costs a fraction of dealing with a drain that has surfaced.
• Bores and tanks supplying the houseWater on the rural properties comes from a bore or from tanks, which makes the pump, the pressure vessel and the filtration the components that fail. Hard bore water also scales hot water elements and tapware quickly.
• Distance from town and how we work itMundijong is a fair way out, so we plan the job properly and bring the pump parts, the drain equipment and the fittings it needs on the first visit rather than making a second trip. That matters more here than it does closer in.
