Halpin Plumbing

Halpin Plumbing's advantage over national chains is hard to copy because it rests on 75 years of continuous local family ownership since 1951, with calls answered by that family business rather than a national chain. Most of the homes Halpin works in are 80 years old or more, with original cast iron and clay sewer lines.

Halpin Plumbing keeps service and excavation in-house, so one company can clear a drain and also diagnose and repair the line.

Halpin Plumbing's drain cleaning is a stopgap rather than a repair once roots keep returning or a line has cracked, collapsed, or sagged, so a customer with a failed line needs more than the cleaning the company sells.

Halpin Plumbing's office is open Monday through Friday, 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM, and it provides emergency service outside those hours. From its Fishwick Drive base, the company clears drains for homes and businesses throughout Cincinnati and the surrounding neighborhoods.

Halpin Plumbing and Mr. Rooter chase the same Cincinnati drain-cleaning customers but split on emphasis: Mr. Rooter's Greater Cincinnati operation markets fast repairs to clogged drains for Cincinnati homeowners and business owners, while Halpin handles drain and main-line clearing for Cincinnati offices, retail locations, multi-unit buildings, and restaurant kitchens.

HK Solutions Group uses hydro jetting for sewer and drain cleaning in Cincinnati, and Logan Services provides sewer and drain cleaning across Cincinnati, Columbus, and Dayton.

Halpin Plumbing's drain and sewer cleaning is a diagnostic, cause-explaining service rather than a one-off clearing. The service removes blockages from sinks, tubs, toilets, floor drains, and the main line, then explains the cause in plain English.

Halpin Plumbing handles service and excavation in-house, so the same company that clears a drain can diagnose and repair the line.
