🌳 Tree roots vs stormwater drain — Seville Grove

This stormwater drain had an underground break, but the exact location wasn’t visible from the surface.

Using our CCTV drain camera and locator, Mark was able to pinpoint the damaged section before excavation—avoiding unnecessary digging through a larger area of the garden.

Once located, we:

✅ Excavated and removed the damaged pipe
✅ Replaced it with new stormwater pipework
✅ Supplied and installed new stormwater grates at the front of the property

The result: a targeted repair with minimal disruption and a properly functioning stormwater system.

Having stormwater problems or suspect damaged underground drainage? The Drain Surgeon Plumbing & Gas can investigate what’s happening below the surface and recommend the right repair.

Now is the time to upgrade your toilets! $400 for your troubles 🚽🚽💵💵

Water Corp wants to see more waterwise toilets in WA homes, so a $500 rebate is up for grabs if you replace your old loo.

Damien Postma, from the Water Corporation, says that single flush toilets and early dual flush models are inefficient.

"They use a lot of water. An older dual flush can use up to 11 litres per flush, and the new ones are down to, maximum, five litres," he told Mark Gibson on 102.5 ABC Perth Breakfast.

"30,000 litres in one year is about what you'll save from one toilet… So, they make a really big difference."

If you have a single flush (one button) toilet or a dual flush toilet installed before 1995 and replace it with a WELS 4-star or higher water rated toilet you can claim a $400 rebate. If you replace it with a WELS 5-star toilet with an integrated hand basin, the rebate jumps to $500.

The new toilet must be installed by a licensed plumber, and before and after photos must be taken.

"There's a form on our website. You submit the photos and the invoice, and then we'll give you the rebate."

The offer is available until 31 May 2027 or until all 400 rebates have been allocated.
