What the OPW record says about Claremorris
The OPW register of past floods has no event within 2 km of the centre of Claremorris. That covers reported floods, mostly from the 1980s on. Surface water after heavy rain, blocked culverts and small streams are rarely reported, so a clean register is a good sign, not a guarantee.
0What to do before bidding on a house here
Look the exact address up on the OPW map, not the town. Two houses on the same road can sit on opposite sides of an extent line. Ask the seller in writing whether the house or garden has ever flooded and whether a flood claim was made. Ask for the current insurance schedule. If the house is inside an extent, get a quote before going sale agreed: some insurers decline outright, and the bank will not lend without cover.
The report on this site checks flood for one Eircode in about a minute. The paid report adds the distance to each recorded event, which extents the point falls in, and the GSI groundwater map, all with links to the source so a solicitor can rely on them.

Questions people ask
- Is Claremorris in a flood zone?
- The OPW has not published modelled flood extents within 1.5 km of the centre of Claremorris. That is not the same as no risk: smaller streams and surface water are not modelled. Check the exact house, not the town.
- Will a house in Claremorris be hard to insure against flooding?
- Insurers price by postcode and by the OPW record. With no recorded events near the centre, most houses here get standard cover. Ask the seller for their current policy schedule: if flood is excluded, you will inherit that problem.
- What does the paid report add for a house in Claremorris, Co. Mayo?
- It puts the Eircode point against every OPW flood extent, lists recorded floods within 500 m with dates and OPW notes, checks GSI groundwater flood maps and coastal erosion, and ranks the result against the other thirty-seven checks (radon, BER, planning, knotweed, title, sewer and more) for that one address.
