Homes in Cabra and what that means for drainage
Cabra has large 1930s–1950s housing schemes of terraced and semi-detached homes, many now extended to the rear or into the attic. Cabra is in Dublin 7 and falls under Dublin City Council.
Period homes often have old clay or cast-iron drains, sometimes shared with neighbours, which crack and let in roots over time. 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

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you cover Cabra and nearby areas?
Yes. We cover Cabra, Drumcondra, Clontarf, Glasnevin and Coolock and the rest of North Dublin City.
What drainage problems are common in Cabra?
Period homes often have old clay or cast-iron drains, sometimes shared with neighbours, which crack and let in roots over time. 1930s–1960s homes commonly have clay pipes with mortar joints, where root intrusion and displaced joints cause repeated blockages.
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.
