Clontarf is a lovely place to live and a slightly demanding place to keep plumbed. Being right on the bay, homes here deal with salt air, older cast-iron drainage and low-lying ground that doesn't drain as freely as it might. We know the area well and we're out this way regularly.
The plumbing in Clontarf homes
The seafront terraces and older semis along the coast were built to last, but the salt-laden air is hard on external pipework and fittings, which corrode faster than they would further inland. A lot of the older houses still run cast-iron soil and drainage that's well past its best, and the low-lying streets near the promenade can see surface water and drains struggle in heavy rain and high tides.
- Corroded external pipes and fittings from salt air
- Ageing cast-iron soil stacks and underground drains
- Drains backing up in heavy rain near the seafront
- Older hot water systems in larger period homes

What a Clontarf neighbour says
"Our drain out the back kept backing up every winter. They ran a camera, found a cracked section near the boundary and repaired it. No more floods."
