Emergency Plumbing, Any Time
A plumbing emergency doesn't wait for business hours. Burst pipes, sudden leaks, failed stopcocks, and overflowing tanks need a qualified plumber on-site quickly, not a voicemail. We provide 24-hour emergency plumbing for homes and businesses across Dublin, Kildare, Meath, and Wicklow, every day of the year including bank holidays. Our plumbers are fully qualified and the team carries public liability insurance.
The nature of a plumbing emergency varies a lot between properties. An older Dublin terraced house has different pipework, fittings, and access challenges to a modern apartment or a commercial premises. What stays the same is the need for someone who can diagnose the problem accurately on arrival, isolate it fast, and carry out a lasting repair rather than a temporary patch that fails again a week later.

-
2-hour emergency response target

-
Combined drainage and plumbing expertise
When a plumbing failure also involves a drainage problem, we can handle both trades in a single callout rather than sending two separate teams.
Plumbing Emergencies We Respond To
-
Burst pipe flooding the property
A burst pipe needs the supply isolated immediately and the pipe repaired or replaced. We locate the burst, isolate the affected section, and carry out the repair in a single visit where possible.
-
No hot water or heating in the middle of the night
A failed cylinder, burst pipe, or faulty valve can leave a home or business without hot water. We diagnose the fault on arrival and carry out the repair or replacement needed to restore the system.
-
Tap or stopcock that won't turn off
A failed stopcock is a serious problem because you can't isolate the water supply. We replace faulty stopcocks and valves and restore control of the water supply to the property.
-
Overflowing or leaking water tank
An overflowing cold water storage tank or hot water cylinder can cause significant water damage very quickly. We identify the cause, whether a faulty ballcock, failed valve, or pressure issue, and carry out the repair.
-
Visible leak causing water damage
Leaking joints, split pipes, or corroded fittings that are causing active water damage need immediate attention. We locate the source and carry out a permanent repair.
Qualified Plumbers, Fixed Pricing
Every emergency callout is handled by a fully qualified and insured plumber, equipped for the most common emergency scenarios: isolating burst pipes, replacing failed valves and stopcocks, repairing leaking joints, and dealing with tank and cylinder faults. For properties where a plumbing failure has caused or risks causing a drainage problem, we can also draw on our drainage expertise, including emergency drain unblocking where needed. This means one call covers both trades.
We understand that calling a plumber at 2am brings a particular concern about cost. We provide an upfront quote before any work begins, so you know what you're committing to. There are no hidden charges added on after the job. If you're dealing with a plumbing emergency right now, call our 24-hour line and we'll aim to have someone with you as quickly as possible.

Customer Reviews
Emergency 24 Hour Plumbing FAQs
Anything causing active water damage or leaving a property without a usable water supply: burst pipes, major leaks, a stopcock that won't close, an overflowing tank, or a total loss of hot water. If you're not sure whether your situation needs an emergency callout, call us and we'll give you an honest assessment rather than automatically sending someone out.
We aim to respond within 2 hours across Dublin, Kildare, Meath, and Wicklow. Response times can vary depending on where you are and how many jobs are active at that moment, but we'll give you a realistic arrival estimate when you call.
If water is actively flowing from a burst pipe or leak, locate your main stopcock and turn it off to limit damage. It's usually under the kitchen sink or near the front door. If you can't find it or it won't turn, leave it and our plumber will deal with it on arrival. Don't attempt to work on live pipes yourself.
Out-of-hours callouts are priced differently to standard daytime visits. We'll give you the cost upfront before any work begins, so there are no surprises. We believe in transparent pricing regardless of when you call.
Yes. Because Dylex Drain Cleaning and Plumbing covers both trades, a plumber attending an emergency can also deal with a related drainage issue in the same callout. This is particularly useful when a burst pipe or overflow has caused a drain blockage or backup. You won't need to book a separate drainage company.
We carry out the emergency repair first to make the property safe and stop further damage. If the work uncovers a wider issue, we explain what we've found clearly and provide a separate quote for any follow-up work. You're never committed to additional work without agreeing the cost first. You may also want to consider our plumbing maintenance service to catch issues early in future.
