I know we had snafus getting you guys over here but Aaron showed up today and found out what the problem was corrected it and he also went above and below at the exact right time when I was asking him a question he came down on the ground and grabbed a bolt and helped put up the differential cover that I was working on By starting a couple of bolts! Also, I would like to thank Morgan in the call center for not only getting somebody here today but a supervisor, nice job, thanks again.
Christopher, was great he came to do what he had to do. He got a job done. And I'm very pleased with her, thank you, Chris.
I have used Gem in the past for both plumbing and electrical issues. This time it was a blocked kitchen drain. Turns out it was more than a blocked drain in the PVC under the sink. Nicholas snaked the entire line (down to the basement) to clear out grease and "gunk" that has been literally decades in the making. Because of how this job was handled and because of how the tech talked to me, I am contracting to replace the VERY old 1950's era cast iron pipes in my home.

UPDATE: Work was quickly scheduled. Nicholas arrived today and completed the work. It was a big job. Excellent work.
Chris and Anthony were polite considerate and professional in knowing their jobs and sharing important information concerning our unit.
I really appreciate the honest and integrity in handling our issues. Made us feel confident in our decision making. Very professional but yet personable.

Got a problem with your well pump not working? Not a problem! Call Gem plumbing & heating services. Our 100’ deep well finally lived out its life and stopped working. Not a pleasant experience when suddenly you have to get water somewhere and start filling up buckets. I called on Saturday and they came by within a few hours. They checked the pressure tank first then the well. They came back Monday and installed the new pump. I couldn’t have asked for better service! They were there when I needed them!

Benefits of Installing a New Sump Pump

Not sure if you need to install a sump pump?

Doing so can provide you with the peace of mind you deserve by helping protect your home from unexpected water damage.

A sump pump actively removes excess water before it can accumulate and flood your basement. This added layer of protection is especially important during heavy rain, snowmelt, or periods of high groundwater common in MA and RI.

Standing water can damage floors, walls, furniture, and stored belongings in a matter of hours. Installing a sump pump helps minimize repair costs and protects your investment by stopping water problems early.

Excess moisture around your foundation can lead to cracks, shifting, and long-term structural issues. A sump pump helps redirect water away from your home, supporting the stability and longevity of your foundation.

Damp basements can lead to mold, mildew, and unpleasant odors that affect the air throughout your home. By keeping moisture under control, a sump pump helps create a healthier living environment for your family.

Do I Need a New Sump Pump?

Installing a sump pump is a big decision. They’re crucial systems, and you want yours to last as long as possible.

At GEM, we know it can be frustrating to deal with sump pump issues. Knowing the best time to replace yours, though, can save you from dealing with a complete system failure during the rainy spring months. Here are some signs to consider installing a new sump pump:

Even well-maintained sump pumps have a limited lifespan. If your system is aging, replacing it proactively can help prevent unexpected failures when heavy rain hits.

A sump pump that never seems to rest may be struggling to keep up with groundwater demands. This often points to worn components or a system that’s no longer sized properly for your home.

Grinding, rattling, or loud humming sounds can indicate internal damage or failing parts. These warning signs shouldn’t be ignored, as they can lead to sudden breakdowns.
