"John installed a new bathroom faucet, sink drain, supply lines and shutoff. He showed up on time and gave me a quote which I accepted. He said he could do the work right away and an hour and a half later he was finished. He was very pleasant to work with and I'm planning to have him do more work for me. His business card is now the only plumber I have on my refrigerator."

"I am so appreciative of his fast, efficient and most of all his honesty. Unlike others they were going to charge me a service fee, just to come to my house. I’m a stickler about reading reviews and most of them weren’t good through yelp. I highly recommend reading Pedro, very nice and personable, didn’t try and sell me unnecessary service. I would definitely call him again!!"

"Preston called less than a minute after I submitted my request. He quoted a price and an arrival time and delivered on both. He was cheerful, funny and engaging, a real delight to work with. He fixed the clogged drain and gave us advice on how to avoid the problem in the future. We'll definitely call Preston next time we need a plumber!"

"J&K personnel were very friendly and professional. They came to assess the job in the early morning and by mid-morning they were underway. Although it was more work for them, John suggested an alternative approach to the job which resulted in a much more pleasing outcome in that all of the plumbing was concealed under my deck. My initial expectation was that some of it would be visible when sitting on the deck. Overall a great job at a great price."

Affordable Plumbers questions, answered by experts

Always hire a licensed professional for functional plumbing work, as Rhode Island law requires proper permits and inspections. You must also identify whether your home connects to the municipal sewer system or relies on a private septic tank. Renovating older Johnston homes reveals outdated cast iron or galvanized pipes, requiring mandatory upgrades to meet current safety and building code standards.

Helpful?

The cold RI winters create a high risk for frozen pipes in unheated spaces like garages and crawl spaces. You must install all underground plumbing below the 48-inch frost line to prevent freeze damage. Repeated freeze-thaw cycles stress pipe joints over time. During spring thaws and heavy storms, basement flooding is common, making a reliable sump pump essential for protecting your Johnston home.

Helpful?

Cosmetic plumbing updates, like replacing a faucet, do not require permits and are safe for homeowners to tackle. Functional projects, such as moving drain lines or replacing water heaters, require permits and a licensed professional. Opening walls in older Johnston homes for cosmetic updates exposes hidden pipe damage and triggers strict lead paint regulations under Rhode Island safety standards.

Helpful?

When tackling plumbing in Johnston, choose materials suited for the soft, slightly acidic water from the local reservoir. This water accelerates corrosion in older copper or galvanized steel pipes. You should upgrade any outdated galvanized pipes or lead solder joints to modern, code-compliant materials for safety. Additionally, always use cold-rated materials for exterior pipes to withstand the freezing RI winters.

Helpful?

Start by requesting a lead service line inspection, since older Johnston properties feature lead pipes. Next, assess your water heater, because the local acidic water accelerates tank corrosion. You should also verify your sump pump operates correctly to prevent basement flooding. Finally, insulate pipes in unheated areas before winter arrives to ensure your plumbing survives the freezing Rhode Island temperatures.
