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:
Alec Reyes
Marcus Mendoza
Roger Ribeiro
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!

Foster Homeowners Ask About Water Heater Repair
When does repairing make more sense than replacing my Foster water heater?
Tank age guides this decision most reliably. Water heaters under eight years old with isolated problems like thermostat failure or element burnout typically merit repair since plenty of service life remains. Units over twelve years, especially those showing multiple symptoms or tank corrosion, usually justify replacement investment. GEM plumbers assess your specific situation and provide honest guidance matching your budget and circumstances.
Does GEM work on every water heater brand in Foster?
We service all major manufacturers including Rheem, Bradford White, AO Smith, State, and others sold in Rhode Island. Our plumbers receive training on both electric and gas tank systems, bringing diagnostic expertise regardless of what brand you own.
My water heater produces no hot water at all. What typically causes this?
Complete loss of hot water usually traces to thermostat failure, burned-out heating elements, or power supply interruption. Electric units may have a tripped breaker, while gas systems might have pilot light or gas valve issues. GEM technicians systematically check each possibility to pinpoint your specific problem and restore hot water.
What creates those rumbling sounds coming from my water heater?
Mineral sediment settling at the tank bottom causes rumbling and popping during heating cycles. Water trapped beneath sediment layers boils unevenly, creating noise. Beyond the sounds, this buildup forces your system to work harder and accelerates wear. GEM’s maintenance service includes sediment flushing that prevents this accumulation.
How should I respond to water heater leaking in my Foster home?
Stop water flow to the tank by closing the supply valve, then cut power at the breaker panel or gas shutoff. These steps limit damage while you arrange service. Contact GEM immediately since leaks can indicate minor fitting issues or serious tank deterioration requiring urgent attention. Our Foster team provides same-day evaluation to determine whether repair or replacement serves you best.
