Homes in Knocklyon and what that means for this job

Knocklyon has 1970s–1990s semi-detached and detached family homes, many already extended. Knocklyon is in Dublin 16 and falls under South Dublin County Council.

1930s–1960s homes commonly have clay pipes with mortar joints, where root intrusion and displaced joints cause repeated blockages. 1970s–1990s estates may have clay or early plastic drains, and gullies and shared runs block regularly with grease and wipes. Newer homes have plastic drains, but builders' debris, settlement and wipes still cause blockages.

What the fix involves and typical cost in Knocklyon

Identify whether it is private or public, and clear or report it to Uisce Éireann.

Typical price: €150–€450 (private) (indicative Dublin range incl. VAT). The final price depends on:

  • Location and depth of the blockage or damage
  • Equipment needed (rods, jetting, CCTV)
  • Excavation versus no-dig relining
  • Access, such as under driveways or extensions
