Homes in Rathfarnham and what that means for this job
Rathfarnham has 1930s–1970s semi-detached homes, larger period houses and newer developments near the M50. Rathfarnham is in Dublin 14 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 Rathfarnham
Clear the blockage, make safe and sanitise the affected area.
Typical price: €180–€400 (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
