We clear a lot of drains in Clontarf, and the coastal location is a big part of the story. Being low-lying and close to the bay, drains here have less fall to play with, so a partial blockage that a house further inland would shrug off can back up into the garden, or worse, the house.
Clontarf drains we clear
- Kitchen sinks blocked with grease and food waste
- Bathroom sinks, baths and showers clogged with hair
- Toilets that won't flush or keep rising
- Outside gullies and shores backing up in heavy rain
- Shared and main drains between older houses
Why Clontarf drains back up in the rain
The streets nearer the seafront and promenade sit low, and during heavy rain and a high tide the whole system is working against the water table. A lot of the older houses also still run cast-iron drainage that's narrowed with age and rust. If your drain floods every winter, the honest fix usually isn't another clear, it's a camera survey to find the real cause.
