Homes in Dún Laoghaire & South Coast and what that means for drainage
Victorian terraces and large granite and brick villas in Monkstown, Dún Laoghaire, Dalkey and Killiney, with mid-century homes around Blackrock and Booterstown. Sea exposure is high along the whole stretch.
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. 1930s–1960s homes commonly have clay pipes with mortar joints, where root intrusion and displaced joints cause repeated blockages.
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
