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:

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

Water Heater Repair Questions from Shrewsbury Homeowners
How do I know if my Shrewsbury water heater needs repair or replacement?
Age and repair cost guide this decision. Water heaters typically last 10-15 years, so units within that range with minor issues like thermostat or element problems are usually worth repairing. If your tank is leaking, severely corroded, or over 12 years old with significant problems, replacement often makes more financial sense. GEM’s Shrewsbury plumbers provide honest assessments based on your specific situation and budget.
Does GEM repair all water heater brands in Shrewsbury?
Yes. Our licensed plumbers are trained to diagnose and repair all major water heater brands including Rheem, AO Smith, Bradford White, State, and others. We service both gas and electric tank water heaters with the same expertise and professionalism.
What typically causes a water heater to stop producing hot water?
The most common causes include failed heating elements, malfunctioning thermostats, sediment buildup insulating the tank bottom, and electrical issues like tripped breakers. For gas water heaters, pilot light problems or thermocouple failures are frequent culprits. GEM’s technicians systematically diagnose the exact cause and restore your hot water.
Why does my water heater make loud popping or rumbling noises?
Sediment accumulation causes these sounds. Minerals in your water settle at the tank bottom over time, forming a layer that traps heat and causes water to boil unevenly beneath it. This creates the popping and rumbling you hear. Regular maintenance from GEM includes flushing that removes this sediment and extends your water heater’s life.
What should I do if my water heater is leaking in Shrewsbury?
First, turn off the water supply valve above the tank. Then shut off power to the unit (the breaker for electric heaters or gas valve for gas units). Once you’ve minimized immediate damage risk, call GEM. We offer same-day water heater repair in Shrewsbury and can assess whether repair or replacement is the right solution.
