East Providence's Most Trusted Plumber — Serving Homes and Buildings Since 1889

F.G. Lees & Son has served East Providence homeowners, multi-family landlords, and commercial properties for generations — with in-house crews, licensed technicians, and a 24/7 emergency line that actually connects you to someone who can help.

East Providence is a city built on older housing stock, dense multi-family neighborhoods, and a mix of residential and light commercial properties that put real demands on plumbing and heating systems. We know this market well. Whether you're dealing with a backed-up drain in a triple-decker on Taunton Avenue, a failing boiler in a Rumford colonial, or a water line issue in a commercial building near the waterfront, we have the equipment, the licenses, and the history to handle it right.

Plumbing and Heating Services We Provide in East Providence

We offer the full range of residential and commercial plumbing and heating services to East Providence customers — no subcontractors, no referrals out. Our crews are licensed, trained, and dispatched from our Providence base just minutes away.

Plumbing Services

• Drain cleaning and sewer line repair and replacement
• Water line repair and replacement — including in-house excavation with our own equipment
• Water heater repair, replacement, and installation across all fuel types
• Backflow prevention surveying, testing, installation, and repair
• Sump pump installation and service
• Kitchen and bath plumbing for remodels and repairs
• Water filtration and water treatment systems

When a sewer line collapses or a water main breaks, waiting on a subcontractor to show up with a backhoe costs time and money. We own our excavation equipment and handle all underground work with our own crews — which means faster mobilization and a single point of accountability from the first call to the final backfill.

Heating Services

• Boiler service and repair — steam, hot water, electric, and high-efficiency systems
• Navien-certified boiler service — factory-trained for high-efficiency condensing boilers
• Furnace service and repair
• Oil-to-gas conversions

East Providence has a significant share of older homes with steam and hot water boiler systems. We service all of them — and we're one of the few contractors in Rhode Island certified to service Navien high-efficiency boilers, which require factory-specific training that most plumbing and HVAC companies don't hold.

Commercial Mechanical Services

• Rooftop HVAC units for commercial and high-rise buildings
• Booster pump stations for condominiums, hotels, hospitals, and multi-story buildings

Our commercial division serves property managers, building engineers, and facilities directors across East Providence and greater Rhode Island. If you manage a condominium association, a mixed-use building, or a commercial property with specialized mechanical systems, we have the crew and the certifications to support ongoing service and emergency response.

Emergency Plumbing and Heating Service in East Providence

Plumbing and heating emergencies don't follow business hours. A burst pipe, a failed water heater, a boiler that stops working on a January night — these situations need a contractor who picks up the phone and dispatches quickly. Our emergency line is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. During business hours, you reach our staff directly. After hours, calls forward to our on-call team.

We are based in Providence and can reach East Providence quickly. If you have an urgent situation, call now — don't wait for a callback form to be processed.

Serving East Providence's Homes, Multi-Family Buildings, and Commercial Properties

East Providence presents a specific mix of plumbing and heating demands. The city's residential neighborhoods include a high concentration of older two- and three-family homes with aging cast iron drain systems, original galvanized water lines, and steam or hot water heating plants that require experienced hands. We've worked in these buildings for decades and understand what they need.

For landlords and property managers overseeing multi-family units, we offer reliable scheduling, clear documentation, and the kind of consistent service relationship that keeps buildings running without surprises. For commercial clients along the waterfront and in East Providence's business districts, our commercial division brings specialized capability that most local plumbing contractors cannot match.
