Why Warwick homes need these repairs

Warwick is Rhode Island's second-largest city, home to T.F. Green Airport and many coastal villages like Conimicut, Oakland Beach and Apponaug along Narragansett Bay. Most of the city buys its water from Providence Water. Mid-century capes and ranches with aging pipes, coastal storms, high groundwater near the shore and New England winters drive most of the sump pump, frozen pipe, water heater and sewer calls here.
