Whether it's an older system that's started playing up or a new landscape that needs waterwise coverage from day one, we handle the lot — repairs, servicing, controllers, bores and full installations.

An Erskine property had station 1 down on pressure. Rather than start replacing heads, our technician exposed the main feed and followed the circuit along until the cause turned up: a split in the pipe. It was repaired and the pressure returned. Following a line physically is slower than guessing, and it is the only method that reliably finds a split with no surface evidence. Station 2 needed general maintenance — several nozzles replaced, risers (the upright pipe a sprinkler sits on) straightened and reconnected, since a riser knocked out of vertical throws its water at an angle nobody intended. Station 3 was not working at all and had its solenoid (the electrically-operated valve that feeds one station) replaced. Three stations, three different classes of fault: a pipe, a set of heads, and a valve. That spread is typical, and it is why each station gets tested rather than assumed.

Verge planting and reticulation rules sit with the City of Mandurah, while watering days come from the Water Corporation sprinkler roster, not the council — worth checking both before any verge retic work. We're about 54 km from our Jandakot base, well inside the daily service runs.

Sand over limestone: what it means for your retic

Soil — Spearwood sands. Well-drained yellow sands over Tamala limestone: water moves through fast, so a properly scheduled controller and soil wetters do the heavy lifting.

Groundwater & bores. This is favourable ground for garden bores — sand all the way to the water table in most streets. Bore-fed retic avoids scheme water charges, though the same 2-day roster and winter switch-off govern when it can run.

Rainfall — about 865mm a year. About 865mm a year (Halls Head), with ~80% arriving May-September — a smart controller with seasonal adjust handles the swing, and winter watering is largely unnecessary even before the ban.

What Erskine customers say

“Craig advised me of his arrival time and was spot on! Looked at all areas that were a problem then set about carrying out repairs. On completion, he described all areas that were at fault and described to me what he had done. Craig was highly professional and obviously knowledgeable in his craft. I was completely satisfied with the job well done and would gladly recommend him and Perth Reticulation Experts. The name is well deserved.”

Local reticulation questions

Yes, though unirrigated verges are encouraged. Erskine is in the City of Mandurah. Hardstand and semi-permeable treatments including crossovers and footpaths are calculated as a percentage of total verge area, with a 50% hardstand allocation limit for verges. Watering days are a separate matter — those come from Water Corporation, not the council.

Verge rules by council→

Generally yes — Erskine sits over accessible groundwater, which is why garden bores are common here. What varies is depth, yield and how much iron comes up with the water — all worth checking on your block before committing. We install, service and repair bores and pumps.

Garden bores in Perth→

Erskine sits on Spearwood sands. Water moves through it fast, and the sand can turn water-repellent once it dries out. Your technician confirms the profile on site before programming anything — Erskine blocks vary street to street.

Erskine is about 54 km from our Jandakot depot and sits on a run our vehicles work weekly, so most repairs here are booked within days, not weeks. Repairs aren't quoted — you book a repair and the technician diagnoses and fixes on site, most faults in the same visit, with the parts already on the van.

Repairs aren't quoted: you book one, and the technician diagnoses and fixes it on site, most faults in the same visit. If parts need ordering, we tell you the cost first. If you know where your valve boxes are, say so when you book: on an older system, finding buried valves can take longer than replacing them.
