What Our Customers Are Saying
100% Satisfaction Guarantee
We found roots growing in an old, 2-foot, cast-iron section of my main drainage pipe.
He used a blade attachment and cleared the obstruction to the best of his ability. Then left me with a quote to have the 2-foot section of cast iron replaced with PVC—which is only a small section that penetrated the foundation of my home.
I was very happy with the service, and most importantly the transparent approach which allowed me to make informed decisions.
Nate’s customer service skills were out of this world. I advise GEM Plumbing to invest in this young man.
I had two whole house central AC units replaced (19 yrs old) and their team and other parts of the company (Plumbling, electrical, etc.) worked together to do an unbelieable installation in very hot conditions. My hats off to your company and we are so impressed that I contracted GEM to install a whole house 25kw generator.

Preserve your home’s value, extend your equipment’s life span, and ease your worries with our membership plans.
Well-maintained systems run better, last longer, and save you money on energy bills. Regular care prevents breakdowns, extends equipment life, and keeps your home comfortable year-round. When it’s time to sell, buyers notice homes with documented maintenance history.
Our screened, trained, and experienced technicians serve Newton homes around the clock. We’ve worked in basements throughout Newtonville where century-old boilers still heat the home above. We’ve traced plumbing through the three-story Victorians on West Newton Hill where original galvanized lines need careful handling.
We’ve upgraded panels in Chestnut Hill homes where the electrical service hadn’t kept pace with modern kitchens and home offices. And we’ve installed high-efficiency systems in newer construction where the challenge is matching equipment to tight mechanical closets and modern building codes. Whatever your Newton home needs, our technicians bring experience with properties like yours.
With us, you can spend less money to take better care of your home.
Membership plans pay for themselves. You get discounted rates on service, priority scheduling when problems happen, and regular maintenance that prevents expensive emergency repairs. Efficient systems cost less to run, and catching issues early saves you from major expenses down the road.

Plumbing Leaks
Ceiling stains, musty odors, and dripping sounds often signal hidden leaks causing ongoing damage.

Our technicians use specialized detection equipment to locate leaks precisely, complete permanent repairs, and prevent water damage from spreading through walls, floors, and foundations.

GEM’s drain cleaning services remove accumulated grease, hair, soap residue, and debris from Newton homes’ drain lines, restoring proper flow and preventing backups.
