24/7 Emergency Plumbing Services in Sligo

A plumbing emergency never arrives at a convenient time. It is always the middle of the night, a Sunday morning, or right in the thick of a bank holiday weekend. A pipe bursts in the attic and water is pouring through the ceiling. The boiler packs in on the coldest night of the year. The toilet blocks and there is sewage backing up into the bathroom. These are the moments when you need a reliable emergency plumber in Sligo who actually answers the phone and actually turns up.

That is exactly what we do. Our emergency plumbing service operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year across County Sligo. When you call us, a real person answers - not a voicemail, not an answering machine. We dispatch a fully equipped, certified engineer to your property and aim to have them at your door within 60 minutes if you are in Sligo Town or the surrounding areas.

What We Handle in an Emergency

Our emergency plumbers are equipped to deal with the full range of urgent plumbing situations that homeowners and businesses across Sligo face. These include:

• Burst pipes and major leaks - whether it is a copper pipe that has split in the attic or a joint that has failed behind a wall, we locate and stop the leak fast
• Blocked drains and toilets - complete blockages that cannot wait, including sewage backups
• Boiler breakdowns - loss of heating or hot water, particularly dangerous during Sligo’s harsh winter months
• Overflowing cisterns and tanks - attic tanks and toilet cisterns that will not stop filling
• Gas leaks - if you smell gas, call Gas Networks Ireland first on 1800 20 50 50, then call us for the repair
• Water heater failures - no hot water when you need it most

Our Emergency Response Process

When you ring us on 087 341 0745, here is what happens. First, we take the details of your emergency and give you immediate advice over the phone. If you have a burst pipe, we will talk you through turning off your stopcock to minimise water damage while our engineer is en route. If your boiler has broken down, we will advise on safe steps to take while you wait.

Our engineers carry a comprehensive stock of common replacement parts on the van, which means most emergency repairs are completed on the first visit. We do not believe in temporary fixes that require a second call-out. We aim to resolve the problem properly the first time.

Before starting any work, we will always give you a clear, upfront price. There are no hidden call-out fees, no surprise surcharges for unsociable hours, and no pressure tactics. You know exactly what you are paying before we pick up a spanner.

When to Call an Emergency Plumber

Not every plumbing issue requires an emergency call-out. A slow drip from a tap or a radiator that is slightly cold can usually wait for a scheduled appointment. But there are situations where waiting could cause serious damage to your property or pose a risk to your health. If you are wondering how much does an emergency plumber cost in Sligo, or whether you should attempt a DIY fix versus hiring a professional, the situations below always warrant an immediate call:

• Water is actively flowing where it should not be and you cannot stop it
• You have no heating or hot water during freezing weather, particularly if there are elderly residents or young children in the home
• There is a strong smell of gas in your property
• Sewage is backing up into your home
• A pipe has frozen and you are worried it may burst as temperatures rise

Sligo’s weather can be unforgiving, especially during the winter months when Atlantic storms roll in off the coast. Frozen pipes are a common problem in exposed properties around Knocknarea, the hills above Strandhill, and the more rural parts of the county where temperatures can drop well below zero. If you suspect your pipes have frozen, do not attempt to thaw them with a blowtorch or kettle of boiling water - call us and we will handle it safely.

Serving All of County Sligo

We cover every corner of County Sligo, from Sligo Town and Strandhill to Rosses Point, Ballisodare, Collooney, Ballymote, Tubbercurry, Grange, Drumcliff, and Enniscrone. Our 60-minute response guarantee applies to Sligo Town and the immediate surrounding areas. For more remote locations, we still prioritise getting to you as quickly as possible.

All of our engineers are fully Gas Safe and RGI registered, carry public liability insurance, and bring photo identification to every job. You can have complete confidence that the person at your door is qualified, insured, and trustworthy.

Do Not Wait - Call Now
