Homes in Dublin North Coast and what that means for waterproofing
Mostly 1960s–1980s semi-detached estates in Raheny, Donaghmede and Baldoyle, with older and larger homes in Howth, Sutton and Malahide. Much of the area faces the sea, so salt air and wind-driven rain are a real factor for roofs, render, gutters and external paintwork.
1970s–1990s homes commonly have leaking showers, balconies and flat-roof extensions rather than below-ground problems. 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. Exposed coastal walls face wind-driven rain, and properties near the shoreline can have higher groundwater levels.
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

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you cover Raheny, Baldoyle, Donaghmede, Howth, Sutton, Portmarnock and Malahide?
Yes. Dublin North Coast includes Raheny, Baldoyle, Donaghmede, Howth, Sutton, Portmarnock and Malahide. If you are just outside these areas, get in touch anyway.
What waterproofing issues are common in Dublin North Coast?
1970s–1990s homes commonly have leaking showers, balconies and flat-roof extensions rather than below-ground problems. 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. Exposed coastal walls face wind-driven rain, and properties near the shoreline can have higher groundwater levels.
What is the difference between damp-proofing and waterproofing?
Damp-proofing resists moisture. Waterproofing resists water under pressure, as in basements below ground level.
Do I need a sump pump?
If the system collects water, like a cavity drain membrane, a sump pump removes it. A battery backup is recommended.
Can a shower leak without me seeing it?
Yes. Water can get through grout and failed seals into the floor or wall for months before you see stains.
Is waterproofing guaranteed?
Reputable installers give written guarantees. For basements, ask about insurance-backed guarantees.
