Our Dennis Plumbing Services
Dennis homes rely on plumbing systems that work reliably every day, delivering clean water, removing wastewater, and protecting property from damage.
Cape Cod’s mix of vintage beach cottages, historic sea captains’ homes, and newer builds means every property has unique plumbing demands. GEM services all major components including water heaters, drains, sump pumps, well pumps, and water treatment. Whether facing an urgent leak or planning upgrades, our team has the experience to handle it right.
Emergency Plumbing Services
GEM provides around-the-clock emergency plumbing response throughout Dennis.
Burst pipes, overflowing fixtures, and sudden leaks don’t respect schedules. When water floods your basement or drains back up, a small leak can quickly escalate into major damage. Our licensed plumbers arrive equipped to contain the problem, fix it right, and protect your home. From water heater failures to sump pump problems and sewer backups, GEM responds when emergencies strike.
Plumbing Installation
Quality installation prevents leaks, pressure issues, and early system wear.
GEM makes the process straightforward with clear communication, upfront pricing, and reliable recommendations. We install faucets, sinks, showers, water heaters, garbage disposals, and whole-house repiping. Every project meets code and gets tested before we leave.
Plumbing Repair
GEM fixes plumbing problems so Dennis homeowners can get back to their routines.
Dripping faucets, slow drains, running toilets. Ignore them and they waste water, raise utility bills, and risk structural damage. Our plumbers handle clogs, leaking fixtures, supply line issues, and water heater problems. We find the cause, explain it clearly, and discuss options before starting work.
Plumbing Maintenance
Regular maintenance keeps plumbing working properly and helps avoid surprise breakdowns.
Preventive care extends the life of water heaters, pipes, and fixtures. For seasonal properties, maintenance is essential before closing for winter or opening for summer. GEM plumbers check for hidden leaks, corrosion, pressure problems, and early wear. We clear drains, test water pressure, and confirm everything operates as designed.
Drain Cleaning
GEM clears blockages using camera inspection and hydro jetting technology.
Slow drains in Dennis often signal buildup deeper in your pipes. Salt, sand, and seasonal debris affect Cape drains differently than mainland properties. Grease, soap, hair, and debris accumulate until water struggles to pass. We locate the obstruction, clear it completely, and restore proper flow.
- Hydrojetting: When drain snakes and plungers won’t cut it, high-pressure water cleaning blasts away grease, roots, mineral buildup, and stubborn clogs completely.
Water Treatment
Your Dennis family deserves clean, safe water at every faucet.
Cape Cod water quality varies by location, and many homes benefit from treatment systems. GEM helps families improve water quality with reliable solutions. Whole-house filtration, water softening, we make better water simple.
- Water Purifier System Installation: When tap water tastes off, smells wrong, or looks cloudy, a purification system helps. GEM installs water filtration systems in Dennis that remove contaminants, chlorine, and sediment. We test your water and recommend the right solution for safe drinking water.
- Water Softener Installation: Hard water causes mineral buildup that damages pipes, stains fixtures, and shortens appliance life. GEM installs water softeners in Dennis that protect your plumbing while improving how water feels. We select the right model, install it correctly, and verify operation.
- Water Softener Maintenance: Like any equipment, water softeners need regular service to perform well. Our technicians inspect valves, replenish salt, and clean components. Regular maintenance prevents scaling and extends equipment life.
- Water Softener Repair: Spots on dishes, dry skin, or stiff laundry suggest your softener needs attention. GEM plumbers diagnose and repair all major brands, fixing salt bridges, depleted resin, or faulty valves. We restore efficiency so you enjoy soft water again.
- Water Softener Replacement: Water softeners lose effectiveness over time. When repairs no longer make sense, GEM helps you select and install a modern unit matched to your household. Newer systems run more efficiently and better protect your plumbing.

Sump Pumps
Dennis properties face groundwater pressure, and a reliable sump pump protects your basement from water damage.
For seasonal properties, a failed pump during the off-season can mean returning to serious flooding. Whether you need new installation or service on your current pump, GEM provides expert sump pump care to keep basements dry.
- Sump Pump Installation: If your home lacks a sump pump or the current unit can’t handle heavy rain, GEM installs sump pumps in Dennis that deliver lasting protection. Our plumbers assess your basement, recommend appropriate capacity, and complete installation safely.
- Sump Pump Replacement: Sump pumps typically last 7-10 years before performance drops. If your pump runs constantly, makes strange sounds, or can’t keep up during storms, replacement may be needed. GEM helps you choose reliable units. We remove the old pump, install the new one, and test thoroughly.
- Sump Pump Repair: A failing sump pump can cause major water damage in hours. If your pump won’t turn on, drains slowly, or runs nonstop, contact GEM for fast repair. Our team finds the problem and restores reliable operation.
- Sump Pump Maintenance: Regular maintenance confirms your sump pump will work when flooding threatens. GEM’s service includes cleaning the pit, testing the float switch, checking backup power, and ensuring proper drainage. For seasonal properties, testing before you leave provides peace of mind.
Water Heaters
Few things disrupt your routine like losing hot water without warning.
Whether your water heater has failed or needs an upgrade, GEM provides expert installation, repair, and maintenance for traditional tank and tankless systems. For vacation properties with variable occupancy, we recommend equipment matched to your usage patterns.
- Traditional Water Heater Installation: GEM installs tank water heaters in Dennis that deliver consistent hot water for your household. We evaluate your home’s size, usage, and efficiency goals to recommend the right model, then install it safely and to code.
- Traditional Water Heater Replacement: Water heaters over 10 years old, slow to recover, or showing corrosion usually warrant replacement. Coastal environments can accelerate tank deterioration. GEM simplifies upgrading by removing your old unit, installing an efficient new model, and ensuring proper connection for best performance.
- Traditional Water Heater Repair: No hot water? Strange noises? Puddles near the tank? Our plumbers diagnose and fix problems quickly. From faulty thermostats to worn elements and leaking tanks, we restore full operation fast.
- Traditional Water Heater Maintenance: Sediment accumulates at the bottom of every water heater tank. Anode rods sacrifice themselves to prevent tank corrosion. Annual service addresses both issues and catches developing problems before they cause failures.
- Tankless Water Heater Installation: Tankless units deliver endless hot water on demand while using less space and energy. They work well for vacation properties with variable occupancy. GEM installs tankless water heaters in Dennis sized to your home’s needs. We handle sizing, venting, setup, and testing.
- Tankless Water Heater Replacement: If your current tankless unit isn’t performing well, GEM helps you upgrade to a newer, more efficient model. We guide you through options, remove the old system safely, and calibrate the replacement for optimal output.
- Tankless Water Heater Repair: Temperature swings during showers, error messages on the display, unit shutting down mid-use. Tankless heaters have their own failure modes. We troubleshoot the issue and restore consistent hot water delivery.
- Tankless Water Heater Maintenance: Hard water scale accumulates inside tankless heat exchangers over time. Annual descaling and filter service maintains heating efficiency and prevents the mineral buildup that shortens equipment life.
Well Pumps
Your well pump delivers the water your household needs daily.
When it fails, routines stop. GEM provides well pump installation and repair in Dennis and throughout Cape Cod to maintain reliable water supply for homes on private wells.
Septic Tanks
Homes with septic systems need regular care to avoid messy, expensive failures.
GEM provides complete septic tank installation, repair, maintenance, and replacement to keep your system working and protect your Dennis property.
Leak Detection
Hidden leaks in older Dennis homes can cause serious damage if not caught early.
Aging pipes behind walls, under floors, and in basements make leaks hard to find without specialized equipment. For seasonal properties, leaks during the off-season can cause extensive damage before discovery. GEM provides leak detection using acoustic technology, thermal imaging, and other advanced methods to pinpoint leaks with minimal disruption.
Frozen Pipe Repair
Cape Cod winters can freeze pipes fast, especially in seasonal properties or unprotected areas.
Pipes running through uninsulated walls, basements, or crawl spaces are vulnerable during cold snaps. Vacation homes that sit empty face particular risk. GEM provides frozen pipe repair in Dennis using professional thawing equipment to restore water flow safely and prevent burst pipes.
Sewer Lines
Older Cape Cod properties often have aging sewer infrastructure that causes recurring problems.
Tree roots, deteriorating materials, and outdated underground lines can force wastewater back into homes. GEM provides sewer line repair in Dennis using camera diagnostics to identify issues accurately and delivers repairs or replacements that restore proper flow.
Kitchen & Bath Remodel
Renovating a Dennis kitchen or bathroom requires skilled plumbing for new layouts and upgraded fixtures.
Renovation projects often require moving supply lines, rerouting drains, or adding fixtures. We handle the plumbing portion of your remodel, coordinating with general contractors to keep projects on schedule.
Garbage Disposals
Busy Dennis households rely on working garbage disposals for convenient kitchen cleanup.
Jams, leaks, motor issues, and persistent odors disrupt daily routines. GEM repairs disposal problems and installs quality units that handle everyday use while operating quietly.

Plumbing FAQs
How should I prepare my plumbing for winter if I’m closing my Cape home?
Winterization prevents frozen pipes and water damage. This includes draining water lines, shutting off the main supply, draining the water heater, and adding antifreeze to traps. GEM can handle complete winterization so you return to a problem-free home.
Does salt air affect plumbing in Dennis?
Yes. Coastal exposure accelerates corrosion on exposed pipes, fittings, and water heater parts. Annual inspections help catch deterioration early, and we can recommend corrosion-resistant materials for replacements.
What causes that sulfur smell in my water?
A rotten egg odor usually indicates bacteria in your water heater or well system. Flushing the water heater and adjusting temperature often helps. For persistent issues, we can diagnose the source and recommend treatment options.
How do I know if my well pump is failing?
Warning signs include fluctuating water pressure, sputtering faucets, unusually high electric bills, or the pump running constantly. If you notice these, have the system inspected before complete failure leaves you without water.
Should I get a tankless water heater for my vacation property?
Tankless units work well for properties with variable occupancy since they only heat water on demand. They also eliminate the risk of tank leaks during extended absences. We can assess your usage and recommend the best option.
