Engineer on call 24/7. Typical Dublin arrival approx 90 minutes.
We offer planned plumbing maintenance for homes and businesses, carrying out regular inspections, leak detection, drain cleaning and system checks to catch problems before they become emergencies.
Our Prices
Our plumbing maintenance service covers everything needed to keep a property's plumbing system in good working order: annual inspections, leak detection, water pressure testing, drain cleaning, water heater servicing, tap and valve checks, toilet inspections and pipe condition reports. We offer maintenance programmes for both residential properties and commercial premises, with the scope and frequency of visits matched to the size and age of the system.
A maintenance visit involves a systematic check of all accessible plumbing, starting with the water supply and working through the hot water system, visible pipework, fixtures and drainage. We use leak detection equipment to check for hidden drips that waste water and cause damage to floors and walls over time. Anything we find is reported clearly, and we provide a quote for any remedial work before touching anything.

Most Blockages Cleared on the First Visit
Fully equipped vans carry high-pressure jetting gear and CCTV cameras to every job, meaning Dylex engineers can diagnose and fix most drain problems in a single visit.
Preventive maintenance is nearly always cheaper than emergency repair. A slow drip under a sink, left for six months, can cause enough damage to floors and cabinets to cost far more than a year of maintenance visits. Our plumbers have been working on residential and commercial properties since 2006 and are fully insured with public liability cover. All work is quoted upfront and there are no hidden charges.
The most common concern we hear about maintenance contracts is whether they're actually worth it for a property without obvious problems. The honest answer is that most plumbing issues start invisibly: a slow leak behind a wall, a pressure drop that signals a developing fault, a small crack in a pipe joint. Regular inspection is how you find them before they become expensive. Get in touch to talk through what a maintenance programme would look like for your property.
Each maintenance visit is tailored to the property, but the core checks stay consistent: water pressure throughout the system, the condition and operation of the hot water cylinder or boiler connections, all visible pipework for signs of corrosion or leaks, and all accessible fixtures including taps, toilets and washing machine connections.

We report it to you clearly and provide a quote for any repair work before touching anything. You decide whether to proceed with the repair on the same visit or schedule it separately.

In our experience at Dylex Drains & Plumbing, the most common cause of a slow-draining kitchen sink is a combination of grease, food waste, dishwasher wastewater and detergent residue building up inside the waste pipe. Many homeowners assume the blockage has appeared overnight, but in reality, most kitchen sink blockages develop gradually over months or years.
