Buying or selling, and the lateral failed inspection?
Why it happens in Dublin
Dublin Borough's fall 2026 newsletter says that because the sewer lateral is the responsibility of the property owner, any needed repairs must be done before ownership transfers. The borough runs a lateral inspection program to find where extra water is getting into the sewer from private laterals.
What to try, and when to call us
If your lateral backs up, have it cleared and filmed before you list the house. The video shows whether it's a clog or a crack, and you'll know what the inspection will find.

1960s sewer line and the basement drain backs up?
What causes it in Dublin
The borough's history page says a borough-wide public sewer was added in 1966 by public vote. Many laterals connecting houses to it date from then or earlier, and about 25% of Dublin homes were built before 1940.
What you can do right now
Sixty-year-old clay and cast iron let roots in and settle at joints. If the basement drain backs up, stop using water and have a plumber cable the lateral.
