Shelley's Trusted Local Plumbing Team

Shelley is one of those calm riverside pockets in the City of Canning where most homes were built from the 1960s through the 1980s, with a number of newer rebuilds mixed in along the better streets. That mix means we see a real range of plumbing under one roof here, from original galvanised and copper pipework that is reaching the end of its life, to modern PEX in the recently renovated places. The older brick and tile homes near the Shelley foreshore often still run on aging hot water units and clay or earthenware sewer lines that tree roots love to find. Closer to the river the water table sits high, so we keep an eye on drainage and stormwater on the lower blocks. We handle blocked drains, hot water repairs and changeovers, gas fitting, roof and gutter work, bathroom renovations, water filtration and backflow testing for Shelley households. Being based just up the road in East Victoria Park, we can usually get to a Shelley job quickly. Whatever the age of your home, we explain what we find in plain terms and quote it upfront before any work starts.

Local Plumbing Knowledge for Shelley

Shelley is a small, settled riverside suburb in the City of Canning, bordered by the Canning River and sitting next to Rossmoyne, Riverton and Willetton. The streets here are quiet and leafy, with mature trees, established gardens and homes that have largely been owned by the same families for years. That established character is part of what makes Shelley a lovely place to live, but it also means a lot of the plumbing infrastructure under these homes has been in the ground for a long time.

The most common call we get from Shelley is blocked drains, and tree roots are usually the culprit. Those big established gums and peppermints that line the streets and gardens send roots into the older clay and earthenware sewer pipes through tiny cracks and joints, and over time they choke the line. We clear them with an electric eel or high pressure jetter and run a CCTV camera down to show you exactly what is going on. On homes closer to the foreshore where the water table is high, we also see stormwater and soggy ground issues that need proper drainage rather than a quick patch.

Whether your Shelley home is an original 70s build or a recent renovation, we will give you an honest assessment and a price before we touch anything. No pressure, no upselling work you do not need. Call 0493 085 350 and we will sort it out properly.

Frequently asked questions

Do you cover all of Shelley and the nearby Canning suburbs?

My Shelley home has old clay sewer pipes and keeps blocking. Can you fix it for good?

Tree roots getting into aging clay and earthenware pipes is the most common drain problem we see in Shelley's established homes. We clear the blockage with a jetter or eel, then run a camera down the line to find exactly where the roots are getting in. From there we can recommend a lasting fix, whether that is a pipe relining or replacing a section of the run. Call 0493 085 350 and we will take a proper look rather than just clearing it and leaving.

I live near the Shelley foreshore and my yard stays wet. Is that a plumbing problem?

It can be. The blocks closer to the Canning River sit lower with a higher water table, so poor stormwater drainage shows up as soggy ground, pooling water or damp that lingers after rain. We assess where the water is coming from and whether your stormwater and soakwells are doing their job. Sometimes it is a drainage upgrade, sometimes a blocked or collapsed stormwater line. Give us a call on 0493 085 350 and we will work out the cause.

How old are most hot water systems in Shelley and should I be worried about mine?

A lot of Shelley homes are still running hot water units that are well past their used by date, often 12 to 15 years or more. Once they get to that age you start risking leaks, rust in the water or a complete failure with no warning. If yours is getting on, it is worth a check before it dies on a cold morning. We can advise whether to repair or change it over and quote it upfront. Call 0493 085 350 to book a look.

Can you handle gas fitting for my Shelley home renovation?

Yes, we are fully licensed for gas work in Western Australia, which is essential for any gas fitting job. We handle gas cooktop and oven connections, hot water gas lines, bayonet points and leak detection. Plenty of Shelley homes are being renovated or extended, and gas work on those jobs has to be done to standard and certified properly. Call 0493 085 350 to talk through what your renovation needs.

Do you do backflow testing for Shelley properties?

Yes, we carry out backflow prevention testing and can install or service backflow devices. Some Shelley properties, particularly those with irrigation, pools or certain plumbing setups, are required to have annual backflow testing by the water authority. We are licensed to test and certify these devices and lodge the paperwork for you. If you have had a notice or are not sure whether you need it, call 0493 085 350 and we will sort it.
