James was called out to Armadale, WA where a customer’s stormwater system had stopped draining properly.
The Problem
Once dug up, it was clear why:
•Flexible pipe patched with duct tape
•Drains completely chock-a-block with tree roots
•Thin, unsuitable tubing that couldn’t handle a machine clean
The Fix: Full Stormwater Replacement
Instead of wasting time trying to clear what couldn’t be saved, James recommended a full replacement with proper materials.
•Installed new stormwater pipe – no more flimsy flexi pipe
•Removed all root-filled sections completely
•Added blue metal & waterfoil for better soakage and long-term performance
•Restored yard with paving and lawn put back in place
Takeaway
Shortcuts like duct tape and thin flexi pipe will always fail. A proper installation with the right drainage media means:
•Reliable stormwater flow
•No repeat blockages from roots
•A system designed to last
