Plumbing in Dundrum homes
Dundrum is mostly 1950s to 1980s semi-detached houses, with newer apartments around the town centre and Ballinteer Road. Original copper pipework and cylinders in the older semis are now 40 to 70 years old, so burst cylinders, leaking attic tanks and tired immersions are common. Apartment blocks bring pump and pressure problems.
Common problems in Dundrum
- Leaking hot water cylinders
- Attic tank overflows
