Homes in Dublin North Coast and what that means for drainage
Mostly 1960s–1980s semi-detached estates in Raheny, Donaghmede and Baldoyle, with older and larger homes in Howth, Sutton and Malahide. Much of the area faces the sea, so salt air and wind-driven rain are a real factor for roofs, render, gutters and external paintwork.
1970s–1990s estates may have clay or early plastic drains, and gullies and shared runs block regularly with grease and wipes. Period homes often have old clay or cast-iron drains, sometimes shared with neighbours, which crack and let in roots over time. Low-lying coastal areas can see drains backing up during heavy rain combined with high tides.
What to check before you hire a drainage contractor
- Ask for the CCTV survey footage and a written report
- Ask whether relining (no-dig repair) is an option before excavation
- Confirm who is responsible for the section of pipe involved
- Get the price for clearing agreed before the work starts
- For insurance claims, ask for the survey report

Who is responsible for my drains?
Pipes serving only your property within your boundary are usually your responsibility. Public sewers are the responsibility of Uisce Éireann.
Why does my drain smell?
A dried-out trap, a blockage, a damaged pipe or a failed seal. Run water in unused sinks and showers first.
Can tree roots really break drains?
Yes. Roots find their way into joints and cracks and can block or break pipes.
Does home insurance cover drains?
Many policies cover accidental damage to drains. A CCTV survey report usually supports the claim.
