John Halpin enlisted in the US Navy at the age of 17. His military role was as a pipe-fitter and boilerman. Upon his return, he took a position at US Plumbing on the west side of Cincinnati and married Grace Cucinotta in 1946. After his tour, he joined JP Dorney Plumbing Company in Hyde Park.

John took the leap to establish his own company in 1951. He soon enlisted his brother-in-law, Angelo, and bought two second-hand box trucks. Initially, the business was based in Evanston. They moved to 2001 Dana Avenue in 1957, where John transformed the house into a showroom and office. The business moved to 3299 Linwood in 1959, retaining the office at Dana. Joe, the youngest son of John, showed a strong interest in the company while in his Junior year at Purcell Marian High School in 1978. During the school year, he worked part-time and full-time in the summers for the family business. In 1988, he took over as owner and currently leads the company in Roselawn.

Joe Halpin, the son of founder John Halpin, has been leading the company since 1988. He is a master plumber and continues to run the business today.

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.

Dear Mr. Halpin,

I'm writing to thank you for what has been one of the most amazing customer service experiences I have been treated to in a very long time. I hired Halpin Plumming and have for many years. But I know you are not the cheapest on the block. With all the online search type things out there it is very easy to find services that are less expensive but you find out why when something doesn't grow just exactly right.

A couple of weeks ago one of your Plummer's came out to do some work for me and part of that work was to reinstall a sink. It was a pedestal type and the house was from 1912 so it required some difficult updates. Putting the sink back together a piece of tile was damaged that required me to patch it in a very obvious way giving it a very cheap look or pull the sink and cut out the damaged tile taking with the chance of further damage, which I feared would be the case. Know that when the plummer was done I paid him and did not address the issue till the next business day with Sara. Now Sara answers the phone along with one other young lady that I know of and I thought that was the extent of their duties. Oh no, you have empowered this young lady and I'll assume the other with whatever it takes to immediately address issues. When I called about the damages she did not just pass me along. She did not try to say it happens or it was a tough install or make some other excuse to avoid repairing or taking responsibility for the damage. Rather she was apologetic and said please send pictures which I did. Within a day or two she called to tell me that it will be made right and that you have a great relationship with a tile guy that can fix the issue. She also told me it might take a couple of weeks and he said the cost to repair would be $300 and that if I prefer you would send me a check.

Fearing I could cause more damage on my own I chose to wait. A couple days later, I get a call that a plummer would be out that week then the tile guy and wow were they. How this tile guy managed to cut a square from the center of a tile was one thing but the repair and replace so to speak, was better than I could have hoped for. So let me say cheap is many times just that. Thank you Robert, thank you Sara, thank you Joe Halpin!!! There is a reason you have had a place in my contact list for years and will be there for years to come. And I never thought that you guys could be a great resource as well like in this case and amazing tile guy. Again thanks to all of you. You are first on my list.


Sincerest Regards,

Harold A Poore
