Common Drain Problems in Newport Homes

Newport’s historic housing stock and coastal location create specific drain challenges.

Cooking grease coats pipe walls and hardens over time, trapping food particles until water barely passes through. Newport’s older cast iron pipes are especially prone to grease accumulation.

Hair binds with soap scum and personal care products to form dense clogs in shower and sink drains. These blockages worsen gradually until drains stop completely.

Newport’s water supply leaves mineral buildup inside pipes that narrows the opening over time. Annual cleaning removes these deposits before they cause complete blockages.

Mature trees throughout Newport’s neighborhoods send roots into aging sewer lines through small cracks. Roots grow inside pipes until they block flow entirely.

Many Newport homes have original cast iron or clay pipes that corrode and collect debris more easily than modern materials. Professional cleaning removes decades of buildup.

Lost our well water tank, great job with replacement. While here had them replace kitchen faucet and garbage disposal also. Will use GEM from now on!
Eric and Steve are great. Got the job done fast. Cleaned up. Terrific work.
We had 2 very old direct vent gas wall heaters replaced. Evan and Steve are the best. They explained everything and did a awesome job for never putting in these Rianni heaters . Kept me informed and answered all my questions and eased my concerns . Couldn't of asked for two better guys. The electrician and his assistant were outstanding with the fact the house was
built in 1925 with older wiring . Chen and his assistant installed 2 dedicated circuit for both heaters to run on and it works out great as now my air conditioner will run on the dedicated circuit this summer. Would recommend all of them for future heating needs .
We had the bathroom one downsized to a smaller unit with no issue what so ever even with them having to remove the bigger one they had put in they were happy to accommodate the issue
They are sweet, knowledgeable and quick. Thank you guys for an excellent job done, I appreciate it.
The gem guys could not have been any nicer. We had to leave and trusted them in our home alone.
Very professional and thorough. Serviced not only my mini-split but my air conditioner and checked my furnace and changed it's filter. Very happy.
The folks at Carmine's/GEM always do a great job๐Ÿ‘ Anthony Pena did a great job checking the gas dryer connection and valve. Made sure everything was working properly and that there were no leaks.
Joan Martinez came to my house on an emergency call when my furnace/boiler broke down at 1 am. He diagnosed the issues and unfortunately I needed a new system. GEM installed the new system over the next two days. Everyone on the crew was excellent. I signed up for GEMโ€™s maintenance program because if I had previously it would have prolonged the life of my furnace/boiler. Today Joan Martinez returned to do routine maintenance on my mini splits. He was very thorough and made sure the units are ready for the summer season. I highly recommend and trust Joan Martinez for any job.

Although, we had to drop a lot of money today. We are very appreciative of David Santiago and Colin D. David explained everything that was wrong with our system. Even tried to find a way to fix the disaster. Even though we both knew, it wasn't worth it. That's where Colin come in and broke the heart breaking news but helped us find options and worked with us. With that we are VERY thankful for you both! GEM has a life long customer. Thanks guys.

Professional Cleaning vs. Store-Bought Chemicals

Those bottles at the hardware store rarely work and often make things worse.

Chemical drain cleaners corrode pipes and only dissolve part of the clog. Here’s why professional cleaning is the smarter choice for Newport homeowners.

Chemical cleaners damage pipes over time, especially the older pipes in many Newport homes. Professional methods are safe for all pipe materials.

Store products only clear a partial opening. Professional equipment removes everything so your drain flows freely and stays that way.

Professional cleaning addresses the root cause, not just the symptoms. You get lasting results instead of calling again next month.

Chemical cleaners release harmful fumes and leave residue. Professional methods are safe for your family and your plumbing.
