Homes in West Dublin & Leixlip and what that means for waterproofing
1960s–1980s estates in Palmerstown, Clondalkin and older parts of Lucan and Leixlip, a historic village core in Chapelizod, and one of Dublin's newest planned towns in Adamstown.
1970s–1990s homes commonly have leaking showers, balconies and flat-roof extensions rather than below-ground problems. Newer apartments often have podium decks, balconies and roof terraces where membrane failures affect units below. 1930s–1960s homes rarely have basements but often have leaking flat roofs over later extensions and older, failing shower trays.
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 Chapelizod, Palmerstown, Lucan, Leixlip, Adamstown and Clondalkin?
Yes. West Dublin & Leixlip includes Chapelizod, Palmerstown, Lucan, Leixlip, Adamstown and Clondalkin. If you are just outside these areas, get in touch anyway.
What waterproofing issues are common in West Dublin & Leixlip?
1970s–1990s homes commonly have leaking showers, balconies and flat-roof extensions rather than below-ground problems. Newer apartments often have podium decks, balconies and roof terraces where membrane failures affect units below. 1930s–1960s homes rarely have basements but often have leaking flat roofs over later extensions and older, failing shower trays.
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.
