Most homes here were built in the late 1980s and through the 1990s, which puts the original plumbing systems at the 30 to 35 year mark. Copper supply lines, galvanised fittings, and original hot water storage tanks are common, and they all have a limited lifespan. The suburb borders Yellagonga Regional Park, and the mature trees around the lakes and wetlands send roots deep into the ground - often finding their way into sewer lines. We have the experience and equipment to diagnose these issues accurately and fix them properly, whether it is a simple tap washer or a full sewer line replacement.

Read moreWoodvale is one of Perth's most established northern suburbs. Families have put down roots here for generations, drawn by the leafy streets, good schools, and proximity to Yellagonga Regional Park and its chain of lakes. But established suburbs come with established plumbing, and after three decades of daily use, systems start to show their age.
The biggest issue we encounter in Woodvale is tree root intrusion into sewer lines. The mature paperbarks, eucalypts, and other trees that make the suburb so attractive also send roots searching for moisture, and clay sewer pipes are an easy target. We use CCTV cameras to locate exactly where roots have entered the line, then clear them with high-pressure jetting. For pipes that are cracked or collapsed, we can reline them without digging up your garden.
When you call Tap Tech in Woodvale, you are calling a team that has already worked on streets throughout the suburb. We know the common problems, carry the right parts, and get the job done without wasting your time.

Really happy with the work! Super friendly, showed up on time, and got everything sorted without any fuss. The job was done quickly and properly, and the price was fair too. Would definitely call them again if we need a plumber.
Brilliant service! Called them to fix a water leak from main and they were there in 20 minutes. Would definitely use them again with Caiden providing excellent service and at a reasonable price. Thanks Caiden.
Urgently needed a plumber to fix a leak in my roof with water coming in the house. Despite being a very busy period, Caiden from Tap Tech shuffled around a couple of other bookings and managed to get to me that same day. Identified the problem quickly and charged a fair price.
I called Tap Tech after I was having issues with my hot water heater. Very easy to talk to. Caiden came and swapped it out and I'm very happy with his work!!
Yes, tree root intrusion is one of the most common plumbing issues we deal with in Woodvale. The suburb's mature trees, particularly near Yellagonga Regional Park and Lake Goollelal, send roots deep into the ground looking for moisture. Older clay sewer pipes have joints that roots can penetrate, causing blockages and eventually cracking the pipe. We recommend a CCTV drain inspection if you are experiencing recurring slow drains or blockages.
Most storage hot water systems have a lifespan of 10 to 15 years, so if yours is past that mark, replacement is worth considering before it fails completely. A planned replacement gives you time to choose the right system for your household and avoids the inconvenience of waking up to cold showers. We can assess your current unit and recommend whether it is worth repairing or replacing, and help you choose between gas continuous flow, heat pump, or storage options.
In many cases, yes. Pipe relining involves inserting a resin-coated liner into the damaged pipe, which hardens to form a new pipe inside the old one. This is a great option for Woodvale properties where the pipe runs under established gardens, driveways, or paved areas. It avoids the cost and mess of excavation while providing a result that is actually stronger than the original pipe. We will assess your situation with a CCTV camera to determine if relining is suitable.
Yes. Many Woodvale homes have gas bayonets for portable heaters, but if yours does not, or if you want to add extra gas points for a new heater or fireplace, we handle the full installation. Our licensed gas fitters will run the line from your gas meter, install the bayonet at your chosen location, and pressure test the system to ensure everything is safe and compliant. We can also service and repair existing gas appliances.
Brown or rusty water when you first turn on taps is usually caused by corroded galvanised steel pipes inside the house. These pipes were commonly used in Woodvale homes built in the 1980s and early 1990s. As the internal lining deteriorates, rust particles enter the water supply. If the discolouration clears after running the tap for a minute, the issue is internal rather than from the mains. We can inspect your pipes and quote on a partial or full repipe with modern copper or PEX to fix the problem permanently.
WA regulations require backflow prevention devices to be tested annually by a licensed plumber. If your Woodvale property has a backflow device installed - common on properties with garden reticulation systems, swimming pools, or commercial connections - we can carry out the test, submit the results to the Water Corporation, and set you up with annual reminders so you never miss a due date.
