When you need quality pipe repair in Northern Virginia, The Irish Plumber, Inc. responds quickly to minimize damage and repair the cause of the problem. We know just how devastating the damage from leaking, broken, and rusted pipes can be, which is why we waste no time in arriving on the scene of the problem and diagnosing the issue.
A faucet leak is one of the most common issues in a home. From bathrooms to kitchens to laundry sinks, worn out washers, seats, o rings, and seals can cause a faucet leak that ranges from an inconvenience to a catastrophe. When you have a problem with your faucets, you need a plumber that knows what you need and how to fix it.
Drains clog over time. In kitchens, grease, soaps and more build up on the walls of the pipes and cause a blockage. In bathrooms, showers, tubs and sinks become clogged with hair and soap, and toilets can become clogged with toilet paper. When this happens, you need the help of a plumber experienced in drain cleaning.
If you've ever experienced a flooded basement, you already know how much damage it can cause. Even a small amount of water leaking into your basement can cause thousands of dollars in damage, not to mention hazardous mold and mildew growth. If your basement is at risk of flooding, a sump pump is generally considered to be the best safeguard.

Showed up within hours of first call, in mask. Completed work and even additional stuff that was helpful to us. They left the area clean up and working faster than they estimated for a price we didn't feel gouged by. Will use them for any future issues.

We are long-time clients. The best feature of this business is the quick response and attention you receive. I can call, and a plumber is at my house in an hour or so. Professional and reasonably priced.

Irish Plumber was very responsive and scheduled us for the next day. Turns out the smell in our basement was not coming from the ejector pump (like we thought it was), but instead from a dead animal right outside a basement window. Tried to pay the service tech for time he took for the housecall and troubleshoot the smell, but he wouldn't accept it. Very honest and reliable plumbing company. Will definitely use them again in the future (hopefully not anytime soon ;-)

Positive: Punctuality, Quality, Responsiveness
We've been customers for about 8 years. Every job they have done has been great. Yesterday our sink disposal failed. Ian came out the same day and in less than an hour the replacement job was done. These guys are real pros.

The Irish Plumber has been our go-to plumbing support for years. They have helped us on both small and big jobs with the same high level of care and concern for our home. Kieran is always responsive and the actual plumber (most recently Steve) is always an expert that takes the time to explain what he sees and consult with me on a plan of action.

I had a very good experience with this company and I'm glad I found them. Kieran, is honest, responsive, and a good communicator. I was provided with upfront and reasonable pricing. The plumber, Steve, that came to my house was very nice and professional. He did quality work and articulately answered my questions. I highly recommend this company for your plumbing needs.

Returned home from Florida and found a spot on the ceiling of the pantry off the kitchen had expanded and felt damp to the touch. My worst fear was that we had a roof leak - but thought I ought to check the master bath whirlpool tub. Sure enough - small drip from cracked hot water braided feed line that I could see through the access panel. I put a drip pan under the leak and caught most of the water. Called The Irish Plumber - and got a call back in a few minutes. Described the problem and Ian showed up at our door a few hours later. He conducted a quick diagnosis, determined the non-standard

They were prompt, fixed my hot water heater & the technician was very nice. However, the price was really (REALLY!) high. It was a Friday afternoon & I had no hot water, so it wasn't exactly convenient to get multiple quotes. It cost $385 to replace the upper & lower thermostats in the heater. It was about $80 in parts & took the tech about 30 mins. So that's what, $600/hour in labor costs?

Great advice and perspective.

Turns out we did not actually use the Irish Plumber's services, but Kieran was such a good communicator that I wanted to leave a positive review. In scheduling an appointment, we were exchanging texts and I asked about a video sewer inspection and was told that The Irish Plumber doesn't offer that service. In texting back and forth, I got a text that said "It may be a better option calling a company with a camera to be honest". In my opinion such honesty is exceptional in the plumbing industry. So I wanted to leave this positive review. If

Just finished our second job with the Irish Plumber and wanted to share the praise they deserve. The first job was adding two frost-free exterior hose bibs with proper drain valves. The second was replacing a toilet. In both instances the team picked up the phone when we called, arrived on time, kept the place very clean, did a quality job, responded to questions, and stayed right on their quoted price. You can't really ask for more.

I have every expectation that the Irish Plumber will continue its honest and reliable operation with high marks for quality work and customer service.

I have an Irish name, live in Alexandria, in the Parkfairfax area, and needed a plumber. So, I read all the reviews and decided to try the Irish Plumber as it is a family business, and seemed to be a good, reputable company. Steve showed up and reviewed my kitchen sink, giving me his opinion, stating the pipes and garbage disposal are old (that's what Parkfairfax building are...old), and asked me if he should still do the service I requested....to snake out the kitchen sink. I admit the price was steep, and I had to ask for some help to cover the cost. But, I already had 2 weeks of enduring

Worst experience ever. A simple clogged sink should not cost $285.00 I sent him out before he continued cutting a financial artery. This business gauges customers in high income zip codes. Ridiculous price structure. He took my sink apart, fixed nothing and charged me for a.part he installed that doesn't even work.
Never ever use this company!

We called The Irish Plumber to remedy items identified in our home inspection. Kieran did a great job confirming the items we knew about, talking us through items that we thought were issues, but weren't, and he identified a couple items missed during the inspection. The proposal came quickly and was revised upon request.

We had some sink repairs, valves replaced, and a new water heater installed. The guys doing the work did a great job, kept the house clean in the process, and answered all of my questions about water heater maintenance. Would highly recommend using them.

Just had these guys come over to fix a problem with the drain in my bathroom. Plumbing services will always cost money, but these guys are as good as it gets for the going rate around here. They fixed our drain issues and also alerted us to a problem with our toilet, which we were able to fix on our own. Overall, I was very pleased with the service provided.

Competent and fairly priced - the Irish Plumber took on a small but somewhat pain in the neck job for me. They had to go on a hunt to match old Kohler faucets - it took a lot of time and trouble which I appreciate that very much. Plus, great wry sense of humor.

When we moved into our home and needed a plumber the first week, I realized I didn't have a go-to company. But now I do!

The Irish Plumbers came for what I thought was a small clog. Unfortunately, they discovered a more extensive problem and had to come a second day to spend more time tracing an old pipe buried deep under our house.

From the first few minutes of their visit, I was impressed. The crew was kind, detail-oriented, and explained every thing to me along the way. And they really spent a lot of time making sure I understood the process and how they were addressing the fixes to

I have yet to have them do any work for me but feel compelled to share what a fantastic operation these guys are. I moved into a house recently and found the cold water does not function in my shower. Reached out based on reviews to schedule a visit to see if they can fix it and started by getting an email to clarify. Several emails and phone calls invested thus far and really all for the purpose of making sure they can help me and at an appropriate cost. I have yet to give these guys a dime and they have already invested seemingly a ton of time and effort into making sure I am in a position

Where to start? Bolt accurately distinguished a long standing drainage issue that had baffled other The Irish Plumber for a considerablelong time and really settled it for ever. It included a forensic investigation of our 45 year old home with numerous a perplexing wander aimlessly along the way however they took the inconvenience of nailing it down before prompting us on the suitable fix. The level of preparing, honesty and polished methodology is unmatched, administration is uber affable and smart and the cost is more than reasonable for the quality received.
