Homes in Stillorgan, Sandyford & Foxrock and what that means for drainage
Mature 1930s–1970s suburbs in Mount Merrion, Stillorgan, Goatstown, Foxrock and Deansgrange, many with large gardens, and modern apartment and mixed-use developments in Sandyford and Cherrywood.
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.
