Halco - Ithaca's Reliable Plumbing Contractor

Yes, we frequently help Ithaca homeowners with persistent drain issues. Our approach starts with a thorough plumbing inspection to diagnose the cause, which in our climate can often be a combination of soap scum, hair, and mineral deposits from our hard water. We then perform a professional drain repair or cleaning to restore proper flow. For recurring problems, we can discuss preventative solutions or potential upgrades during the service visit.

Absolutely. As a full-service provider, Halco is uniquely equipped to manage your entire water heater installation. Our licensed professionals handle the plumbing connections, water pipe installation, and, if you're switching to a gas model, the necessary gas line installation or repair. This integrated approach, under one trusted local company, ensures the job is done correctly, safely, and efficiently, with no need to coordinate multiple contractors.

It's a very common and valid concern for our area. A frozen outdoor faucet can burst the pipe inside your wall, leading to significant water damage. Halco recommends pre-winter maintenance, which includes properly draining and winterizing the faucet. If you suspect damage has already occurred, our team can assess the situation, perform any necessary water pipe repair behind the wall, and install frost-proof faucets designed for our climate to prevent future issues.
