Mostly housing and facility irrigation maintenance
Every visit is backed by our workmanship warranty. We're a Water Corporation Waterwise Garden Irrigator and an Irrigation Australia member, with 230 Google reviews averaging 4.7 stars.
Most of our Duncraig volume runs through commercial facilities and housing maintenance programs — 82+ visits covering cyclical servicing, fault repairs and system upgrades — with residential work alongside: controller work, servicing & tune-ups and sprinkler & pop-up repairs are the common jobs here.
Verge planting and reticulation rules sit with the City of Joondalup, while watering days come from the Water Corporation sprinkler roster, not the council — worth checking both before any verge retic work. We're about 30 km from our Jandakot base, well inside the daily service runs.

Sand over limestone: what it means for your retic
Soil — Spearwood sands. Classic Spearwood profile: free-draining sand, limestone beneath. Lawns respond best to two shorter cycles inside the same watering window (both before 9am, or both after 6pm), and sprinkler layouts need decent pressure to cover evenly.
Groundwater & bores. The superficial aquifer here typically supports domestic garden bores — a big running-cost saving over scheme water for lawns. Note bore users now share the standard 2-days-per-week roster and the 1 June - 31 August switch-off.
Rainfall — about 718mm a year. Annual rain near 718mm and strongly seasonal (~79% May-Sep at Perth Metro); the practical schedule is full summer duty, tapering shoulder seasons, sprinklers off 1 June - 31 August.

From our Duncraig job book
The Duncraig leak we didn't repair
A Duncraig property had leaks on two separate stations. Our technician repaired both of the ones on station 1 — a leak in the poly in a garden bed, and a second in the poly running under paving — along with nozzles, pop-ups and risers (the upright pipe a sprinkler sits on) around the system, then set both controllers and adjusted their run times.
The third leak, on station 3, was left. It sits in a small retained garden bed occupied by a very large tree, and reaching the pipe would mean removing that tree.
The leak is minor. Weighing a mature tree against a small ongoing water loss is the owner's decision to make, not ours, so we reported it with the trade-off stated plainly rather than presenting removal as a necessary repair.
Not every leak is worth what it costs to reach.
A disintegrated isolation valve in Duncraig
Changing the master valve made no difference at this Duncraig home in January 2026, which pointed the search further upstream. Our technician potholed to find the isolation valve, the tap that shuts the retic off from the house supply, and found it had fully disintegrated.
An isolation valve sits on the water supply, so a plumber was the right trade to replace it; the homeowner arranged one, with our further testing to follow. Along the way the system's six wired stations were mapped out: stations 1 and 2 share a valve location, and station 6 had no run time set, possibly because it feeds drip irrigation in the garden beds.
What we actually find in Duncraig
We've completed 111 jobs in Duncraig. For this pattern check we read the 6 with the fullest, most recent technician notes — a capped sample, deliberately small and not random. 4 of them involved mainline leaks and split poly, against 33% across the 1,781 Perth jobs sampled the same way. It tells our technician what to check first. It is not Duncraig's fault rate, and we don't publish it as one.
