John Halpin began his military service in the US Navy when he was 17. In the Navy, he specialized as a pipe-fitter and boilerman. After returning from the war, he worked at US Plumbing on Cincinnati's west side and married Grace Cucinotta in 1946. After completing his military service, he began working for JP Dorney Plumbing Company in Hyde Park.

In 1951, John decided to launch his own business. Not long after, he hired his brother-in-law, Angelo, and purchased two pre-owned box trucks. The business operated out of Evanston initially. They moved to 2001 Dana Avenue in 1957, where John transformed the house into a showroom and office. By 1959, the business shifted to 3299 Linwood while maintaining the office at Dana. Joe, John's youngest son, developed a keen interest in the business during his Junior year at Purcell Marian High School in 1978. He contributed part-time during the school year and full-time in the summer to the family business. He became the owner in 1988 and now oversees the company in Roselawn.

Joe Halpin, the founder's son, took charge of the company in 1988. He is a master plumber and continues to run the business today.

Where do I start? From the beginning it was a disaster. Receptionist is rude, service techs knowledge was entry level on a good day. Then the quote on something that didn't need done. Literally could have bought a car with that quote ($3500) and I personally fixed it for under $500 in 10 minutes. Smh

I had a sewage back up that started coming into my upstairs bathroom shower. It was mortifying. I called several places and they all told me they would come in 2-3 DAYS. I called Halpin plumbing and the owner happened to take the call. When I told him the situation, he immediately told me that this won't wait and he would send someone out within two hours. They showed up, within a hour, took care of the mess, told us NOT to throw baby wipes into the toilet, even if they said they are flushable!! Sure enough, there was a huge backup which he handled quickly with great efficiency. This happened last year but I am still impressed with the great customer service!

Halpin Plumbing did a great job cleaning my sewer drain clog. I had another company come out and tell me it wasn't possible and they would need to destroy the finished portion of my basement to access the clog. Halpin cleared it no problem. They were very friendly and explained everything they were attempting and how much each method would cost only charging me for the method that actually worked. Halpin is my new go to plumbing company.

I can't say enough good things about Halpin. I have had to use them a couple times recently and they are always professional, answer all of my questions, and do excellent work. Darrell and CJ couldn't be more pleasant to work with and provide nothing short of quality work. The office staff is very friendly and efficient. I can't make enough positive comments about our experiences. Thank you.....it is nice to have honest, hard workers, you can trust!!!!!!!!

I would like to highly recommend Halpin Plumbing for an outstanding job that they did over the weekend on our condo in Hyde Park. Geoff Halpin the Plumber was extremely helpful and gave me an update frequently so I was aware of what was happening.
He even brought space heaters to keep the condo warm while we waited for our heat to get turned on by Duke.
Though my bill was really steep but the problem was resolved.

Be careful of the charges! $400 for a job that was less than 2hours! Had a simple job. Replace the faucet in my powder room with the one I bought. When making the appointment the receptionist never asked if it was a single or remote handles. Apparently those cost more. $403.00 to install. The tech was a wonderful guy. My job had no issues . Easy removal and replace. He said that they base the price on jobs that are complicated. I would not call again without asking the base price.

Had a fantastic experience with Halpin's Plumbing today. We called yesterday due to an unpleasant odor from a drain in our basement. They were able to schedule with us for the very next day. Their plumber Darrell called to let me know when they were on the way and arrived right on time.

Darrell asked me what issues we were having, looked around and then said we should start with the FREE sewer scope (we had a valupak coupon) and go from there.

They worked inside and outside (in the pouring rain!!) to get as good of an assessment as our pipes would accommodate the camera to go.

Thankfully nothing urgent to fix, but Darrell gave several recommendations and options that could help fix the odor problem we are having and advised starting with the most economical. He also advised on potential causes to the water influx in our basement and some of the options for fixing that issue as well. As well as looked at a few plumbing things I may want to do in the future and let me know if they were possible and a rough guesstimated cost.

At the end...I wasn't charged a dime. They said the coupon for the free scope covered their visit!

Their excellent customer service, professionalism, and sound advise earned my future business as well as my referral to anyone needing a good plumber! Thank you, Halpin's!!

Called back in October to inquire about a possible estimate. They immediately wanted to schedule it. I asked repeatedly if there was a charge for an estimate and said I did not want one if there was (most reputable organizations give free estimates). They did not answer and proceeded to schedule someone. When they arrived, they said nothing about cost up front, but immediately began to give an (inflated) estimate for a bare minimum job. After completing the estimate, the gentlemen gave me a bill for $45. I told him the above story and said I had no intention to pay. I immediately called Halpin and recounted the same info. The young lady I spoke with said she would ""let management know and go from there (although her attitude mostly indicated she had heard it all before and she just wanted me to pay.
I have heard nothing from them since, and assumed the matter was settled. Today I was left a message (convenient calling in the middle of the day when working folks aren't home--amazingly, no one answered when I returned the call at 4:30 p.m.) from a Lisa at Halpin regarding my, so-called, outstanding balance. She claimed to have sent several emails, as if such amounted to some kind of legal notice (I've never received any such email), and wanted me to call and arrange payment so that they could avoid turning the matter over to collections.
I will not be bullied by scammers and will not pay for a service I did not authorize with knowledge aforehand of the cost. I suggest to all who might consider engaging these people that they take my experience into account and run the other way.

Great people.

The receptionist was friendly, attentive and helpful.

The service technician was on time, knowledgeable and took his time to dumb it down and explain what was wrong and what my options were to fix my water heater.

The quote was reasonable and they have a good reputation.
