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!
Professional Service vs. Store-Bought Cleaners
Retail drain products promise easy fixes but usually cause larger problems.
Chemical cleaners damage pipes while only partially dissolving clogs. Here’s why professional service is smarter.
Store cleaners corrode pipe walls from inside, especially older systems in Waltham. Professional methods are safe for all materials.
Retail products dissolve just enough for water to trickle through. Professional tools remove everything so clogs don’t return quickly.
Professional plumbers find why blockages form and recommend prevention. Chemicals only hide symptoms.
Drain cleaners release toxic fumes and leave harmful residue. Professional techniques eliminate these risks.
