Your New Bedford Home Runs Better with GEM
From the Victorian grandeur of the West End to the working-class heritage of the North End, New Bedford’s neighborhoods each carry their own character.
From waterfront lofts to the family homes spreading toward the Far North, what they share is housing that needs reliable service from technicians who show up, do the work right, and don’t overcharge.
GEM Plumbing & Heating Services, LLC serves New Bedford with the straightforward professionalism this city deserves. Over half of the homes here predate 1940. They’ve survived because they were built to last, and because generations of owners have maintained them properly. That work continues with the right service provider.
When your family needs heating, cooling, plumbing, or electrical services in New Bedford, trust ours. Call GEM today.

Service Built for a City of Neighborhoods
New Bedford’s thirty-plus neighborhoods aren’t interchangeable, and neither is our approach to serving them.
We understand that the Victorians on County Street need different attention than the triple-deckers off Acushnet Avenue, that the homes near Buttonwood Park differ from those in Clark’s Point. Our technicians adapt to each property they encounter. When your New Bedford home needs professional attention, you deserve service that understands what you’re working with.

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.

My whole transaction was smooth and pleasant from start to finish!

Drain Clog Removal & Sewer Services in New Bedford
Homes with a century of service often have drains that need professional clearing.
GEM’s drain cleaning eliminates buildup and addresses root intrusion in aging systems.

This service safely removes grease accumulation, tree root intrusion, and years of buildup from New Bedford drain lines. Hydro jetting restores full flow capacity and reduces future clog frequency throughout your plumbing system.
Plumbing Leaks
Ceiling stains, musty odors, and dripping sounds often signal hidden leaks causing ongoing damage.
