Homes in North County Dublin and what that means for waterproofing
Fast-growing towns with a lot of 1990s–2010s estate housing, especially in Swords and Lusk, plus older cottages and seafront homes in Rush and Skerries. The coastal towns are exposed to strong easterly weather.
Newer apartments often have podium decks, balconies and roof terraces where membrane failures affect units below. 1970s–1990s homes commonly have leaking showers, balconies and flat-roof extensions rather than below-ground problems. 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 Swords, Lusk, Rush and Skerries?
Yes. North County Dublin includes Swords, Lusk, Rush and Skerries. If you are just outside these areas, get in touch anyway.
What waterproofing issues are common in North County Dublin?
Newer apartments often have podium decks, balconies and roof terraces where membrane failures affect units below. 1970s–1990s homes commonly have leaking showers, balconies and flat-roof extensions rather than below-ground problems. 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.
