Installation, Testing, and Certification

Water backflow is an area of continued concern, and as such, it needs continued oversight by government, water safety professionals, and individual property owners. A backflow is among the very worst plumbing emergencies with the capability to impact scores of people. A potentially dangerous backflow situation occurs when the normal direction of water flow within a water system changes direction. A change in direction is especially problematic with cross- connected pumps, such as those that take place between a home drinking water supply and washing machine.

Soakwells are a crucial part of property ownership in the Perth area.

NOTE: if you reside further south of Perth in the Rockingham or Mandurah area, we recommend Septics and Soakwells WA. We only operate in and around Perth’s CBD.

While we have our share of brilliant sunny days, storms often whip up and drop significant amounts of rainfall in a short period. Perth averages 85.5 centimeters of rain a year. Combining that amount of rain with accumulated water from other sources gives you the potential for water damage if your land does not drain properly. When water damage is impending, our expertise with installation and maintenance of soakwells helps us meet your needs as quickly as possible.
Whether you are building new construction or you are experiencing problems on your property because of a poorly functioning soakwell, you can be sure that we are ready to help. Our team of skilled professionals is just a phone call away, day or night. We are proud to say that our projects are competitively priced and backed by a ten-year warranty.

One of the most frequently asked questions regarding soakwells that we hear is, “Are concrete soakwells superior to polypropylene soakwells?”

The answer to that question is ‘not always.’ Concrete soakwells have the long-standing reputation of being stronger and able to withstand more water as well as more weight than the polypropylene type. While a concrete soakwell is sturdy, it is also nearly 50% less efficient at removing water as a polypropylene soakwell. Additionally, polypropylene soakwells can withstand over 20 tons of direct pressure per square meter, and we can provide them in any size necessary. We have existing customers who chose to work with us because other contractors used scare tactics to pressure potential clients into choosing concrete soakwells. We believe that it is unethical to play on people’s fears. While we are happy to share any pertinent information that we have about a product, we will not give out any information that is not helpful or factual.

This choice saves time and money, especially if you thought about going from an electric unit to on that runs on gas.

With advances in technology, customers have more than one choice in types of water heating units. The first option is a traditional water heater with a storage tank; a second alternative, which is gaining in popularity, is a tankless water heater. These work on the same principle as the traditional water heater, except that the water heats on demand as opposed to being stored. This option saves energy because there is no need to maintain the temperature of a tank full of water. Many of our customers have been pleasantly surprised with lower energy bills after opting for a tankless water heating system.

Have a Drain That Needs to Be Unblocked or Cleaned? We Can Help!

Hydro jetters are the most environmentally friendly to remove drain blockages because this method requires no chemical agents. Water sprayed into the drain at such a high pressure is much more efficient than any chemical we could use. Because this is such an effective way to open drains, we equip all of our trucks with hydro jetters. The arrival of hydro jetters have increased a plumber’s ability to remove blockages in drains; while reducing the amount of time, effort, and mess that previously came along with opening or cleaning drains.

What Type of Drains Can We Unblock?

Hydro jetters are available in different sizes with varying amounts of pressure. The nozzle size varies from about six millimetres, up to 25 millimetres and is responsible for controlling the amount of water sent through the drain or the pipe. Most in-home jetting requires the smallest nozzle at around 400/PSI.

In order to be ready for any size job, we at CBD Plumbers Perth, equip our trucks with all available nozzle sizes and jetters which are capable of spraying water at 4000 PSI / 63 litres per minute. As a point of reference, 2000 PSI would easily power the paint off of a car. As you can see, we are well equipped to clear away the nastiest of blockages in your drain or pipes.

While there is still plenty of use for the electric eel type of drain cleaner, we find hydro jetters to be the most efficient way to clear a drain or pipe. Even after an electric eel cuts away clogs, a residue of debris remains on the walls of the pipe. When a hydro jetter clears a blockage, all residue is powered away leaving a clean pipe.
