What to check before you hire a waterproofing specialist
- Ask which BS 8102 approach will be used and why
- Ask whether the system includes a sump and pump, and what happens in a power cut
- Get the guarantee in writing, ideally insurance-backed for larger jobs
- For showers and wet rooms, ask what tanking system is used under the tiles
- Check that surface water and gutters have been ruled out first
Homes in Drumcondra and what that means for this job
Drumcondra is known for Victorian and Edwardian red-brick terraces, plus 1920s–1930s homes on quieter roads towards Griffith Avenue. Drumcondra is in Dublin 9 and falls under Dublin City Council.
Period homes often have basements or lower ground floors in solid masonry with no original waterproofing, so converting them to living space needs a full below-ground system. 1930s–1960s homes rarely have basements but often have leaking flat roofs over later extensions and older, failing shower trays.
What the fix involves and typical cost in Drumcondra
Apply a liquid membrane or new covering with proper upstands and outlets.
Typical price: €40–€90 per m² (indicative Dublin range incl. VAT). The final price depends on:
- Area and depth of the space
- Water pressure and whether a sump pump is needed
- Preparation, including removing old plaster or finishes
- Access
Also covering Clontarf, Glasnevin, Coolock and Artane and the rest of North Dublin City. See Roof Waterproofing across Dublin or the Waterproofing cost guide.
