Nate came out first thing in the morning to help with my clogged sewer main. He was very professional and kind. He explained everything with no difficulty and offered multiple cost-tiered options. Mainly whether we would utilize a camera in the process of snaking the main. I appreciated being offered the option. We went with the camera process. So we could fully diagnose the issue, and determine if this would be a recurring problem.
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 PVCโ€”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.
Nateโ€™s customer service skills were out of this world. I advise GEM Plumbing to invest in this young man.

Incredible company.
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.

I was able to schedule an appointment for the next day. The technician was great. Chris went over everything that needed to be done and explained it clearly. Very professional. He was also able to offer a discount and waived the fee for the service call. When I reviewed the bill that night, there was an error and the fee hadnโ€™t been waived. When I called Gem the next day, they saw the error and immediately corrected it. Said the refund would be put on my credit card. Very happy with the service.

I am very happy with my well water pump service. David Chapman and his associate were professional, friendly and respectful. David showed me how to change my filter for which I am truly grateful.
It was super easy booking online The next day the dispatcher, (unfortunately I donโ€™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!


How to Know When You Need a New Water Heater Installed

Here’s what a dying water heater looks like.

Scituate homeowners should be aware of these symptoms. GEM provides straightforward advice about repair vs. replacement.

Most water heaters last 8 to 12 years. If yours is approaching or past the 10-year mark, efficiency has likely dropped and the risk of failure increases. Replacing now avoids unexpected breakdowns and the inconvenience that comes with them.

Discolored hot water or visible rust on the tank exterior signals corrosion inside. While sometimes caused by aging pipes, rust in hot water that clears up after running usually points to the water heater itself. This problem only gets worse.

If your water heater used to recover quickly between uses but now takes hours, age and sediment are catching up. When flushing no longer helps, the system is losing capacity. Replacement restores reliable hot water.

For gas water heaters, a pilot light that keeps going out indicates a failing thermocouple or other component. While sometimes repairable, recurring pilot problems in older units often point toward replacement being the better investment.

Water Heater Installation FAQs

When should I start thinking about replacing my water heater?

Once your water heater approaches 10 years old, it’s wise to start planning for replacement even if it’s still working. That way you can research options, budget accordingly, and replace on your schedule rather than in an emergency. Many Scituate homeowners find that proactive replacement avoids the inconvenience and potential water damage of an unexpected failure.

Can GEM handle water heater emergencies in Scituate?

Yes. We provide 24/7 emergency service throughout Scituate and the Providence County area. If your water heater fails unexpectedly, leaks, or poses a safety concern, call us immediately. Our technicians can respond quickly to assess the situation and get your hot water restored as soon as possible.

What maintenance does a water heater need?

Regular maintenance includes annual flushing to remove sediment, periodic anode rod inspection, and checking the pressure relief valve. These simple tasks extend equipment life and maintain efficiency. Many Scituate homeowners find it easier to have GEM handle maintenance through our Home Comfort Club, which includes scheduled service visits and priority scheduling if problems arise.

How much can I save with an efficient water heater?

That depends on your current equipment and usage, but the savings can be substantial. Upgrading from an older standard tank to a high-efficiency model typically reduces water heating costs by 10 to 20%. Switching to a heat pump water heater can cut costs in half. For a Scituate household spending $50 a month on water heating, that’s real money over the 10 to 15 year life of the equipment.

Should I get a gas or electric water heater for my Scituate home?

That often depends on what’s already in your home. If you have natural gas service and existing gas lines to your water heater location, a gas unit typically offers faster recovery times and lower operating costs. If you’re electric-only, an electric water heater or heat pump model avoids the expense of running new gas lines. GEM evaluates your Scituate home’s infrastructure and helps you choose the option that makes practical and financial sense.
