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.

Portsmouth Water Heater Repair FAQs
Should I repair or replace my water heater?
Age and condition guide this decision. Water heaters under 10 years with isolated issues typically warrant repair. Units past 12 years, especially with leaks or corrosion, often make replacement the smarter choice. GEM’s plumbers assess your situation and provide honest guidance.
Does GEM repair all water heater brands?
Yes. Our Portsmouth team services all major brands of traditional tank water heaters. Electric or gas, our licensed plumbers diagnose quickly and restore hot water.
What causes total hot water failure?
Complete loss usually results from element burnout, thermostat malfunction, sediment blockage, or power issues. GEM technicians identify the cause and restore operation.
What’s causing rumbling tank sounds?
Sediment settling at the bottom creates rumbling during heating cycles. Minerals accumulate over time, trapping heat and causing uneven boiling. Regular maintenance prevents this.
What should I do if my water heater leaks?
First, close the supply valve above the tank. Then cut power at the breaker or gas valve. Call GEM immediately. Leaks can indicate loose fittings or tank failure. Our team offers same-day Portsmouth service and recommends the best solution.
