Maintenance Made Easy With GEM
If you’re looking for a simple way to stay on top of water heater maintenance in Providence, our Home Comfort Club is just for you. Members enjoy annual checkups, priority scheduling, exclusive discounts, and proactive reminders so you never miss a tune-up.
For busy Providence homeowners, it’s the easiest way to protect your water heater—and every other system in your home.
From the moment we arrive, our goal is simple: to give you confidence that your system is safe, efficient, and ready to deliver reliable hot water every day. Each Providence water heater maintenance visit is built around prevention: catching small issues early, cleaning away sediment buildup, and testing every safety feature.
We start by checking the tank, thermostat, valves, and all visible connections for leaks, corrosion, or wear.
Sediment buildup is the number one cause of water heater inefficiency, and Rhode Island’s mineral-rich water speeds up that process. Our Providence water heater maintenance includes a complete tank flush to restore heating performance.
This small but vital part helps prevent tank rust and corrosion. During water heater maintenance in Providence, we inspect and replace it as needed to extend the life of your system.
Whether your water heater is gas or electric, we test and clean the heating elements or burner assembly for optimal operation.
We confirm that your thermostat settings are accurate for comfort and efficiency.

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.
The team was:

It was super easy booking online The next day the dispatcher, (unfortunately I don’t know her name) called to offer an earlier appointment. She was very polite and kind.
My whole transaction was smooth and pleasant from start to finish!

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I schedule water heater maintenance?
For most Providence homes, we recommend scheduling professional water heater maintenance once a year. This keeps your system running efficiently, prevents sediment buildup, and allows our technicians to catch small issues before they become major repairs. Regular service also helps maintain your manufacturer’s warranty and extend your water heater’s lifespan.
Do I really need maintenance if my water heater seems fine?
Yes. Even if your water heater is working, issues can build up quietly over time. Sediment and minerals settle inside the tank, making it work harder and use more energy. Water heater maintenance in Providence prevents those hidden problems, helps you avoid sudden loss of hot water, and keeps your energy bills lower.
How long does a maintenance appointment take?
Most Providence water heater maintenance visits take about 45–90 minutes, depending on the size, age, and condition of your system. Our team arrives on time, works efficiently, and always cleans up before leaving. You’ll receive a clear summary of what we did and any recommendations for keeping your system in top shape.
What’s the difference between maintenance and repair?
Maintenance is preventive care, like an oil change for your car. It keeps your water heater working efficiently and helps you avoid repairs. A repair visit, on the other hand, addresses an existing problem, such as no hot water, a leak, or a faulty thermostat. With regular maintenance, many of those repairs can be avoided altogether.
How do I know if my water heater needs service right away?
If you notice strange noises, rusty water, fluctuating temperatures, or water pooling around the tank, schedule water heater service in Providence as soon as possible. Even minor changes can signal a problem that needs attention before it causes damage or safety concerns.
