Plumber Osborne Park

Osborne Park WA 6017, City of Stirling and City of Vincent. About 8 km north-west of the Perth CBD.

Osborne Park began as market gardens, worked by Chinese, Italian and Yugoslav settlers on rich peaty soil left by the swamps between Lake Monger and Herdsman Lake. After the Second World War it turned residential, and by the 1980s it had shifted again to the industrial and commercial district it is today.

• Peaty soil left by the old swampsThe ground that made this such good market garden land is soft, and peat compresses and moves as it dries. That movement puts strain on underground drainage, so cracked and misaligned pipe joints are more common here than on the sand further north. We camera before quoting rather than assuming a simple blockage.
• A predominantly industrial suburbOnly the north-eastern corner of Osborne Park is still residential. Everything else is warehouses, workshops and yards, which means trade waste, grease arrestors and backflow prevention are routine parts of the job here rather than specialist extras.
• The car yard precinct on Scarborough Beach RoadThis is the largest car yard precinct in Australia, and vehicle businesses carry obligations around wash bays and trade waste discharge. We work with those requirements regularly and can supply the compliance documentation councils ask for.
• Main Street and the Hutton Street stripThe cafes and food businesses along here cannot close for a plumbing repair, and a failed grease arrestor or blocked waste line shuts a kitchen immediately. We attend these after hours so the work happens outside service.
