Couple of great guys..explained alot..completed the work..fixed the problem..what else can you ask for
David was very thorough, found the root of the problem and fixed it. He explained the whole process and went above and beyond in every way. Highly recommended!
Incredible service. Needed emergency plumbing help, she arrived and got the job done. Would highly recommend this plumber..
Scheduling was poor but the service was good.
No answer as I got no formal ask.

However, he was, on time, polite, clean, efficient and answered all my questions ( I’m a retired engineer). I would ask for him on future appropriate jobs. Be good to him. He is of great value to you.
Timely and professional service. Took the time and effort to complete job in the right way.
Vincent was terrific! He was able to identify the problem that caused a flood in my basement right away and fixed it.
Moreover he is so calm and personable. Took the time to teach me and lable the shut offs and showed genuine concern.
David is awesome!
We have used Gem several times for plumbing and HVAC. They have always been courteous, professional, and thorough. We will continue to use them for any plumbing needs in the future.
The plumber arrived on time,looked at the problem,told what he would be doing to fix it.(I had a leak in the main pipe leading from the toilet to the exit pipe)That had to be replaced,the toilet drained,a new line through the wall upstairs.A perfect clean up.Christopher was polite.
Always have a positive experience with GEM plumbing and heating whenever we need them. They are prompt, professional and competent. Totally recommend their services.
Very nice people,knowledgeable.
Fixed the problem quickly.
I had a very slow leak under sink. Very professional nice service guys came same day to diagnose the problem. It turned out to be the garbage disposal. Their estimate was $700 for the labor. My other quote for same work from a licensed plumber was $350. Shame I’m out $149 for the service call. I’m still giving 5 stars because I’m sure that this company does 5 star work – but price for the labor for this particular job was twice as much as elsewhere.
Polite, professional and work was completed fast!
Always reliable and courteous service! We have relied on GEM for regular maintenance, repair services, plumbing, new HVAC installation, and even shower installation. We feel we can cou t on GEM to be there when we need them and always perform great work.

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.
