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.

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 About Water Heater Repair
How do I know if my water heater needs repair or replacement?
If your water heater is under 10 years old and the issue is minor like a faulty thermostat or heating element, a repair will usually solve the problem. But if your tank is leaking, corroded, or nearing the end of its lifespan (typically 8–12 years), replacement may be the smarter long-term investment. GEM’s licensed plumbers will inspect your system and help you decide what’s best for your home and budget.
Can GEM repair all types of tank water heaters?
Yes! Our team repairs and services all major brands and models of traditional tank water heaters. Whether you have an electric or gas unit, our licensed plumbers are trained to diagnose issues quickly and restore reliable hot water.
What causes a water heater to stop producing hot water?
Several issues can lead to no or inconsistent hot water, most commonly a failed heating element, thermostat malfunction, sediment buildup, or power supply problem. In some cases, a tripped circuit breaker or pilot light issue could be the cause. GEM’s technicians will pinpoint the exact issue and get your water heater running safely again.
Why is my water heater making popping or rumbling noises?
Those noises usually mean sediment has built up inside your tank. Over time, minerals in your water settle at the bottom, creating a layer that traps heat and causes the water to boil unevenly, leading to those popping sounds. Regular maintenance from GEM can prevent this buildup and extend the life of your water heater.
What should I do if my water heater is leaking?
First, turn off the water supply to prevent flooding. Then, shut off power to the unit (gas or electric) for safety. Once that’s done, call GEM right away. A leak can signal anything from a loose connection to a failing tank. Our team offers same-day water heater repair in Providence, and we’ll assess whether a repair or replacement is needed.
