Owner-Operated Service
Servicing Providence Area
Lincoln is a town of older homes, private wells, and seasonal weather swings that put real stress on plumbing and heating systems. We understand the infrastructure patterns here — from well water lines in the rural stretches of Great Road to aging cast iron drain systems in established neighborhoods near Twin River Road. That local knowledge, combined with our in-house excavation equipment and factory-certified technicians, means Lincoln homeowners get a level of service most plumbing companies in Rhode Island simply can't match.
Plumbing and Heating Services We Provide in Lincoln
F.G. Lees & Son offers a full range of residential and commercial plumbing and heating services throughout Lincoln, RI. Every job — from a routine drain cleaning to a full sewer line replacement — is handled by our own licensed crew, with no work handed off to subcontractors.
Plumbing Services for Lincoln Homeowners
Our plumbing services cover everything a Lincoln home is likely to need. We handle drain cleaning, sewer line repair and replacement, water line repair and replacement, water heater services across all fuel types, backflow prevention, sump pump installation and repair, kitchen and bath plumbing, and water filtration and treatment. For properties on private wells, we have specific experience with the water quality and pressure challenges that come with well water systems in Lincoln's more rural areas.
Heating Repair and Boiler Service in Lincoln
Lincoln homes run on a mix of forced hot water, steam, and forced air systems — and we service all of them. Our heating services include boiler repair and replacement (steam, hot water, and high-efficiency), furnace service, and oil-to-gas conversions. We are Navien-certified, which means we're factory-trained to service high-efficiency condensing boilers that most Rhode Island plumbing companies are not qualified to touch.
Emergency Plumbing in Lincoln, RI
Plumbing emergencies don't keep business hours. Our emergency line is answered around the clock — live during business hours and forwarded to on-call staff after hours. If you have a burst pipe, a flooded basement, or a heating failure in the middle of a January night, we're reachable and ready to respond.

Well Water Plumbing in Lincoln, RI
A significant portion of Lincoln's residential properties draw from private wells rather than municipal water supplies. That distinction matters when it comes to plumbing service. Well water systems require specific knowledge around pressure tanks, pump systems, and water quality — and the iron, hardness, and sediment levels common in Lincoln's well water can accelerate wear on fixtures, water heaters, and appliances over time.
We offer water filtration and water treatment services designed for well water conditions, along with water line repair and replacement for properties where the supply line from the well to the house has aged or failed. If your water pressure has dropped, your water has developed an odor or discoloration, or you're seeing mineral buildup on fixtures, those are signs worth having a licensed plumber evaluate.

Serving Lincoln Alongside the Rest of Rhode Island
Lincoln sits between Providence and the Massachusetts border, and our crews move through this part of the state regularly. We serve Lincoln alongside our anchor markets in Providence, Warwick, East Providence, and North Providence — which means response times are consistent and scheduling is reliable. We're not a company that added Lincoln as an afterthought. It's been part of our service territory for as long as we've been in business.
For commercial properties in Lincoln — office buildings, condominium associations, or light industrial facilities — our commercial division handles larger-scale mechanical needs including booster pump stations and rooftop HVAC systems.
