About Fichera Plumbing & Heating in Providence, RI

Providence's older neighborhoods and heavy storms can lead to basement flooding and sewer backups. We help by conducting thorough plumbing inspections that check for vulnerable points in your system, such as old drain lines or missing backflow prevention devices. We can install sump pumps, recommend and install backwater valves, and inspect your main sewer line for potential blockages or damage that could worsen during a flood. Proactive maintenance and targeted installations are key to safeguarding your home.

Our on-site audit is a comprehensive evaluation of your home's plumbing and heating systems. A licensed technician will check for leaks, test water pressure, inspect visible pipes for corrosion (common in older Providence homes), assess your water heater's age and efficiency, and examine fixtures and drains. This isn't just a quick look; it's a detailed assessment designed to identify current problems, like a failing hot water recirculation pump, and potential future issues, providing you with a clear priority list and honest recommendations.

We start with an on-site visit to evaluate your current setup, hot water needs, and available space to provide a precise estimate. Our installation process is methodical: we handle the safe removal and disposal of your old unit, ensure all new connections—water, gas, or electrical—and venting meet code, and perform a full system check for leaks and proper operation before we leave. We focus on a clean, efficient installation that gets your hot water flowing reliably, and we'll explain your new unit's maintenance needs to extend its lifespan.
