The Real Plumbing Challenges Facing Heathridge Homes
With over 89% of Heathridge properties being separate houses built before 1990, we understand the specific plumbing systems in your home: from the original earthenware pipes prone to root intrusion to the 30-40 year old hot water systems reaching their limits [Source: Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2021 Census data for Heathridge].
Our team has been serving Perth since 1984, bringing the experience and local knowledge needed to solve Heathridge’s most common plumbing problems for good.
Your Heathridge home faces unique plumbing challenges that generic plumbers often misdiagnose or patch temporarily.
Invasive Tree Root Invasions
The combination of sandy soil on the Swan Coastal Plain and original 1970s/80s earthenware (clay) pipes creates problems that newer suburbs simply don’t experience. Add in the City of Joondalup’s beautiful but aggressive street trees: particularly the mature Tuarts and Jarrahs protected under their Leafy City Program: and you have a perfect storm for plumbing issues [Source: City of Joondalup, Leafy City Program].
To resolve this, we use CCTV drain cameras to show you exactly where roots have invaded, then employ high-pressure water jetting to clear them completely. This approach, combined with our knowledge of Heathridge’s specific tree species and soil conditions, provides lasting results.

Leak Detection
Sometimes, hidden leaks end up being one of the most costly issues you can face. Luckily, the WIlmac team can inspect, uncover, and deal with a range of leaks that otherwise go unnoticed or unseen.
We’ll use electronic acoustic and thermal imaging technology to locate the exact source of a hidden leak, all without tearing into walls or lifting floors. This is a non-invasive approach where we carry out more targeted, efficient repairs with minimal disruption to your home.
Real Estate and Strata Plumbing
Plumbing in managed properties needs a certain level of coordination and communication between tenants, owners, and managers. That’s why we offer tailored support for both real estate portfolios and strata buildings, with a focus on keeping operations running smoothly and reducing disruption.
Strata work often involves shared infrastructure such as drainage systems, hot water setups, and backflow prevention. We also provide ongoing maintenance planning to help reduce breakdowns and protect the building or development as a whole.
