Rhode Island has some of the oldest housing in New England, including triple-deckers, Victorians and colonial-era homes with cast-iron drains, old boilers and plumbing that's been patched over many decades. Coastal storms bring flooding and high groundwater, and cold winters freeze exposed pipes.

When you call, we'll connect you with a plumber who works in your area. They'll look at the problem and give you a price before any work begins. Rhode Island licenses plumbers at the state level, so ask for a license number if you'd like to check. Each plumber runs their own business. Our line is answered 24/7 for Rhode Island callers.

Our Providence triple-decker had a leaking cast-iron trap under the first-floor bathroom. The plumber replaced it with PVC, tested the line, and was considerate with the tenants upstairs while the water was off. Everyone appreciated the heads-up he gave before shutting it down.

Toilet rocked and leaked at the base in Rhode Island. New flange bolts, a new wax ring, and a couple of shims later it sits solid. Not glamorous work, but the guy was careful and didn't track anything through the house.

For weeks our water heater relief valve dripped into a bucket. I finally called Haygood and was matched with a local plumber who found the house pressure was too high, adjusted the regulator, and swapped the valve. Bucket retired.

Plumbing FAQs

Frequently Asked Plumbing Questions

Common questions about finding a plumber in Rhode Island.

Talk to a real person

How does Haygood Plumbing work?

Haygood Plumbing is a referral service. We do not send out our own crews. When you call (866) 643-1110, we take down your address and a short description of the problem, then connect you with an independent, locally operated plumber who serves your area and handles that type of job. From there, you talk directly with the plumber about the work, the schedule, and the price. Any agreement for the repair is between you and the plumber who takes your job.

Are the plumbers independent businesses?

Yes. The plumbers we connect you with are independent, locally operated businesses. They are not employees of Haygood Plumbing. Each one runs their own company, sets their own prices and schedule, and is responsible for the work they perform. Because of that, it is worth asking the plumber the same questions you would ask any contractor, such as how they price the job and what happens if the problem comes back.

Can I get help with a plumbing emergency at night or on weekends?

Our phone line is answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays. Whether a plumber can come out right away depends on which local crews are available at that time in your area, so we cannot promise a specific arrival time. Call as soon as you notice the problem. While you wait, shut off the water at the main valve or the fixture valve to limit damage.

Should I repair or replace my water heater?

It depends on the age of the unit and what has failed. Problems like a bad thermocouple, gas valve, heating element, or thermostat are often worth repairing. A tank that is leaking from the body, badly rusted, or near the end of its expected life is usually a candidate for replacement. Ask the plumber to explain the cost of each option and how much life the current unit likely has left.

What should I do if a pipe bursts before the plumber arrives?

Shut off the main water valve right away. It is often near where the water line enters the house, in a basement or garage, or at the meter by the street. Then open a faucet on the lowest floor to drain the remaining water from the lines. If water is near outlets or appliances, turn off power at the breaker only if you can reach it safely. Move valuables out of the way and take photos for your records.
