I'm Tom Finegan, and I own and operate Tom's Plumbing. I've been in business since 2010, and have been in the industry for more than 20 years. I offer service agreements for both plumbing and heating. Tom's Plumbing is licensed and insured, serving all of Rhode Island's plumbing and heating needs. I'm a member of the Blackstone Valley Small Business Alliance, and I appreciate local support! Call or email me to discuss your next project: (401) 617-6322 or [email protected]. Tom's Plumbing: "Fix it right the first time."

"I needed to plumb a new whole house generator with natural gas, so why not plan on converting everything to natural gas as the appliance needs replacing (propane hot water and stove) right????? I called TOM'S PLUMBING after doing a search on ANGIE'S LIST for a professional. I figured I would get 5 quotes, narrow it down to 3 and then really compare the 3 and decide on one. I did contact 5 professionals and all came to the house and reviewed the job. So, I decided on TOM's PLUMBING after reviewing the 3 and even with a couple of quick revisions to the job, we were able to schedule it in for the following week. This one point was very important to me as we were going to be leaving for vacation, and if I could get this project done, one less thing for me to think about. Tom and his associate Chris showed up right on time on the scheduled day, which was a hot one. They went right to work regardless of the heat, and completed on time. One way I judge a service is whether or not i would hire them again. In regards to TOM's PLUMBING, yes, I would CERTAINLY hire them again, and in fact, I'm already contemplating a couple of new projects. In summary, TOM's PLUMBING is as professional as they come and yet, small enough to be able to work with a home owner for any and all revisions, I mean, we all know things come up. Tom was always available for any questions or concerns and I knew I was in good hands. so not only would I hire them again, I would recommend TOM's PLUMBING to family and friends, which is really what we all care about!!!"

Rooterman of Rhode Island is a local professional plumbing, sewer, and drain cleaning company. Rooterman provides services to homeowners as well as businesses such as: chain stores, realtors, municipalities, condos, etc. No job is too big or too small for Rooterman!

"DO NOT HIRE. They quoted me $375 for taking out (but not hauling away) and installing a dishwasher. They told me that if the job required anything extra, it may be more. All they did was take out and put in the dishwasher and hook it up to water. I had to hire an electrician to connect it to power. Yet they asked for $425. I called several times to ask what the increase was for. Initially, they told me that they needed more information from the guys who worked on the site (who told me that the price was given to them by headquarters). They never got back to me. I have asked for a refund of $50 but they have not responded. Do not hire them. They are shady with pricing for jobs that are not complete."

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

In most cases, drain cleaners will not clear a clogged sewer line, and they’re likely to damage your plumbing. Sewer lines are several inches wide, meaning any material that clogs it will need to be large. Drain cleaner can work on small clogs, but it usually won’t clear a larger one in a sewer main. Drain cleaners can also easily damage and corrode your plumbing with prolonged contact, and a clog will keep the cleaner in contact with the pipes for an extended period. Hire a professional sewer cleaner instead for a safe fix.

In the majority of cases, homeowners insurance will not cover a main sewer line root clog. The reason is that most insurance companies consider tree root damage to sewer lines as common wear and tear, which is also preventable. However, you may be able to buy optional add-on coverage, such as "service line coverage" or "sewer line endorsements," that would protect against root damage to your sewer line.

Clearing typically takes 1-2 hours, depending on the blockage size and location.

A professional drain cleaner is a plumber or specialized drain cleaner with the necessary tools to unclog drains and tiles to keep waste water flowing out to the septic tank or city sewer for processing. Keeping wastewater from backing up into your home helps keep you and your family safe from potential contamination and sickness. These pros can help resolve nearly any drain situation in a safe and efficient manner.

If you’re wondering whether rats can come up the toilet, the unfortunate answer is yes, it’s possible, though it’s extremely rare. These rodents are excellent swimmers and can travel through sewer pipes in search of food, and they may follow plumbing lines leading to your home if they’re drawn by the scent of scraps and waste. The toilet’s U-bend holds a small pocket of air, which can help a rat catch its breath before making its final push into your bathroom. While more common in cities with larger rat populations, this can happen anywhere with connected sewer systems; sealing entry points and keeping drains clean can help reduce the risk.
