Common plumbing problems in Rhode Island
Frozen and burst pipes
Cold snaps in Rhode Island freeze pipes in exterior walls, crawl spaces and garages. A frozen line often splits and leaks only after it thaws, so shut off the main if you see water.
Frozen pipe thawing →Aging pipes in older homes
Older homes in Rhode Island often still have galvanized supply pipe, cast-iron drains or clay sewer laterals, which corrode, crack and collect roots with age.
Repiping →Basement backups and sump pumps
Many Rhode Island homes have basements, where the floor drain is the first place a sewer backup shows up and a sump pump is the main defense against groundwater.
Sump pump service →Flooding and sewer backups
Heavy rain and flooding in parts of Rhode Island push water into basements and back up older sewer laterals. Backwater valves and sound laterals reduce the risk.
