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.

My whole transaction was smooth and pleasant from start to finish!

Water Heater Replacement FAQs
What water heater options work best for Newport’s historic homes?
Many Newport homes feature older construction with limited mechanical space. Tankless water heaters are ideal for tight installations since they mount on walls and eliminate the need for a large storage tank. For homes with adequate space, traditional tank models remain a reliable and cost-effective choice. GEM’s plumbers assess your specific situation and recommend the best fit.
How does coastal living affect water heater lifespan?
Salt air and humidity common to Newport can accelerate corrosion on water heater components. Regular maintenance, including anode rod inspections and tank flushing, helps extend system life. GEM technicians understand these coastal conditions and can advise on protective measures specific to waterfront and near-shore properties.
Does GEM offer same-day water heater replacement in Newport?
Yes. GEM understands that losing hot water disrupts your entire household. Our team size and stocked trucks allow us to provide same-day replacement service across Newport whenever possible. Call us when you notice a problem, and we’ll work to restore your hot water quickly.
What rebates are available for Newport homeowners?
Rhode Island Energy offers rebates on qualifying high-efficiency water heaters, including heat pump models. GEM helps Newport homeowners identify which systems qualify and assists with rebate paperwork to maximize your savings.
