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!
How to Know When You Need a New Water Heater Installed
Knowing when to replace saves money in the long run.
Recognizing these symptoms early helps Foster homeowners avoid emergency situations. Here’s what to look for.
Most water heaters last 8 to 12 years with proper care. If yours is in that age range or older, efficiency has dropped and failure could come any time. Replacing now gives you control over the timing.
Rust or corrosion visible on the outside of your water heater usually means worse conditions inside. Once corrosion sets in, tank failure is a matter of time. Replacing before a leak occurs prevents water damage.
If showers are getting cut short or you’re running out of hot water during normal use, your tank may be losing capacity. Sediment buildup and aging components reduce how much hot water the system can deliver.
Metallic or sulfur odors coming from your hot water indicate problems inside the tank. Bacteria growth or a failing anode rod are common causes. In older systems, these issues often mean replacement is the better path forward.

We Install All Types of Water Heaters in Foster
Modern water heaters come in several varieties, each designed for different household needs.
GEM helps Foster homeowners select and install the right system. Here’s what we offer:
Tankless technology heats water on demand rather than storing it. When you turn on a faucet, cold water flows through and emerges hot. This provides unlimited supply without standby energy waste. GEM installs tankless water heaters in Foster for homeowners wanting efficiency and endless hot water.
Conventional tanks maintain a reservoir of heated water ready whenever you need it. These proven systems offer reliable performance and reasonable installation costs. Most Foster families find tank heaters meet their daily needs effectively.
Hybrid systems capture warmth from surrounding air to heat water, achieving efficiency far beyond conventional heaters. They keep a tank of hot water available while dramatically reducing energy use. Foster homeowners focused on long-term savings often choose hybrid models.

Water Heater Installation FAQs
How quickly can GEM install a new water heater at my Foster home?
Most installations are completed in a single visit, typically two to four hours for a straightforward tank replacement. Our technicians serving Foster arrive prepared with equipment and parts to handle the job efficiently. We know you need hot water, so we work without unnecessary delays while still doing the job right.
Can GEM handle water heater emergencies in Foster?
Yes. We provide 24/7 emergency service throughout Foster and the Western Rhode Island area. If your water heater fails unexpectedly, leaks, or poses a safety concern, call us immediately. Our technicians can respond quickly to assess the situation and get your hot water restored as soon as possible.
What size water heater do I need for my Foster home?
The right size depends on your household’s actual hot water usage, not just your home’s square footage. A family of four in Foster typically needs a 40 to 50 gallon tank, while a couple might be fine with 30 gallons. GEM’s technicians consider peak usage times, like when everyone’s getting ready in the morning, and recommend a size that meets your demand without wasting energy heating water you won’t use. We’ll size your system based on how your family actually lives.
How are new water heaters warranted?
Manufacturer warranties vary by model, typically covering the tank for 6 to 12 years. Parts like heating elements have separate, shorter coverage periods. GEM reviews warranty details with Foster homeowners during the selection process.
Can I install a water heater myself?
We don’t recommend it. Water heater installation involves gas connections, electrical work, plumbing, and venting that require proper training to do safely. Mistakes can create fire hazards, carbon monoxide risks, or water damage. DIY installation also typically voids manufacturer warranties and may not meet Foster building codes. Professional installation ensures safety and code compliance.
