Company History

KelCo Plumbing began in the Thurmont area about ten years ago. The business started as a local plumber who also offered backhoe work for neighboring farms and homeowners. Over the years the company grew steadily by taking on both plumbing and excavation tasks that many single-focus contractors won’t handle together.

Serving communities near Catoctin Mountain and Cunningham Falls, KelCo has built experience with the kinds of repairs older homes need and the excavation work rural properties often require.

Leadership

Leadership at KelCo is hands-on. The owner and senior technicians work in the field alongside crew members. Staff are licensed or certified where required, and they keep up practical skills for water heaters, recirculation systems, and backhoe operation. The team is locally based and attends community job-site meetings and small business gatherings in Thurmont and nearby towns.
