Plumber Heathridge

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

Hidden leaks are one of the most damaging plumbing problems a homeowner can face — largely  because they often go unnoticed for months. A slow drip inside a wall, beneath a slab, or in  underground supply lines can silently cause structural damage, mould growth, and inflated water bills  long before the problem becomes visible.

We use electronic acoustic and thermal imaging technology to locate the exact source of a hidden leak  without tearing into walls or lifting floors. This non-invasive approach means targeted, efficient repairs  with minimal disruption to your home.

Common warning signs of a hidden leak include:

• Unexplained increases in your water bill
• Damp or discoloured patches on walls, ceilings, or floors
• Musty odours or unexpected mould appearing in the home
• Soft or spongy areas in flooring or skirting boards
• A noticeable drop in water pressure throughout the house

If you notice any of these signs, it’s worth getting a professional inspection sooner rather than later.  Early detection is almost always cheaper than structural repair.

Water Filtration Systems

Clean, great-tasting water is something every household deserves. Wilmac Plumbing supplies and  installs water filtration systems for homes and businesses, giving you direct control over the quality of  your water at every tap.

We offer two solutions to suit different needs and budgets:

Whole-house filtration is installed at your main water entry point, filtering every tap, shower, and  appliance throughout the property. It removes chlorine, sediment, and other contaminants from your  entire supply — protecting your plumbing fixtures, your hot water system, and your family at every point  of use.

Under-sink filtration sits neatly beneath your kitchen sink, providing on-demand filtered water for  drinking and cooking. It’s a compact, cost-effective option that delivers a high level of purification  without the need for a whole-home installation.

Both systems are professionally installed by our licensed plumbers, ensuring correct connections,  stable water pressure, and long-term performance. Ask us about the right filtration solution for your  property when you book your next service call.

Your Local Heathridge Plumbing Experts

As a locally owned business serving Perth since 1984, we’ve watched Heathridge develop and understand exactly how your suburb’s infrastructure has aged. Our industry experts know that a blocked drain near Admiral Grove often means tree root invasion, while low water pressure in the older sections usually indicates cracked pipes in sandy soil.

We’re endorsed as Waterwise by the Water Corporation, making sure that our services not only fix immediate problems but also help conserve water: particularly important given Heathridge’s coastal location..

Don’t wait for a winter storm to flood your yard or a summer heatwave to kill your old hot water system. Our proactive plumbing health checks identify potential failures before they become expensive emergencies, giving you control over your home maintenance budget.
