Where we work
Based in Pawtucket, out across the Blackstone Valley and greater Providence, down through Kent County, and over the state line into Bristol and Norfolk. Most towns have their own page, because the plumbing in a Fall River triple-decker and the plumbing in a Coventry farmhouse are not the same problem.

The shading is where we work. The dots are the towns with a page on this site — that is a shorter list than the shading, because a page only earns its place if there is something true and specific to say about the plumbing in that town.
The map is a schematic rather than a survey. The outlines are simplified; the towns are not — each one is plotted from its real coordinates, so where they sit relative to each other and to the state line is accurate.
27 towns and cities are listed below. If you are near the edge of the shading and not on the list, call and ask. The worst case is we tell you honestly that somebody closer will serve you better, and that costs you one phone call rather than a wasted morning.
