Emergency Plumbing Services
GEM offers 24/7 emergency plumbing service across Newton, so you can count on us day or night to restore your comfort and safety fast.
Burst pipes, overflowing toilets, plus sudden leaks ignore business hours, as do we. The stress of basement flooding or dinner-time drain backups is recognized. Small leaks escalate quickly into major damage, increasing repair costs while disrupting routines. Local, licensed plumbers arrive fully equipped stopping problems, repairing correctly, then protecting homes from additional damage. From water heater failures through broken sump pumps and sewer backups, GEM responds with necessary expertise and care when most needed.
Plumbing Installation
Proper plumbing installation is essential to avoid leaks, low water pressure, and unnecessary wear on your system.
GEM eliminates process guesswork through clear communication, upfront pricing, plus trustworthy expert recommendations. We manage everything from faucets, sinks, and showers through water heaters, garbage disposals, and whole-home repiping. Whether constructing new homes, remodeling bathrooms, or replacing outdated fixtures, we simplify installation stress-free. Each installation meets code, receives performance testing, then backs with GEM’s quality craftsmanship commitment.
Plumbing Repair
If you’re dealing with a plumbing problem, GEM is here to help get things back to normal fast.
Small plumbing problems including leaky faucets, slow drains, or toilets running nonstop escalate quickly into major headaches. Unchecked, they waste water, increase utility bills, then potentially damage homes. Our plumbers manage every repair type, from clogged drains and dripping fixtures through broken water lines, sewer backups, and failing water heaters. We’ll diagnose issues, explain situations in plain language, then review options before beginning any work.
Plumbing Maintenance
A little maintenance goes a long way toward keeping your plumbing healthy and avoiding unexpected breakdowns.
Preventive maintenance also prolongs water heater, pipe, and fixture lifespans, saving money plus reducing stress over time. GEM’s experienced plumbers inspect for hidden leaks, corrosion, pressure problems, plus early wear signs typically unnoticed until damage occurs. We’ll clean drains, verify water pressure, then ensure every fixture, connection, and valve operates properly.
Drain Cleaning
GEM’s plumbing pros use advanced tools like camera inspections and hydro jetting to locate and clear blockages safely and effectively.
Brushing aside clogged drains as minor problems is easy, yet they frequently signal deeper plumbing system issues. Through time, grease, soap, hair, plus debris accumulate in pipes, causing slow drainage, foul odors, then backups damaging floors and walls. We’ll identify causes, clean drains thoroughly, then leave plumbing running like new.
- Hydrojetting: When drain snakes and plungers won’t cut it, high-pressure water cleaning blasts away grease, roots, mineral buildup, and stubborn clogs completely.
Water Treatment
You and your family deserve clean, safe water.
Many Newton homeowners deal with hard water, unpleasant tastes, or mineral buildup that can damage plumbing and appliances. GEM helps Newton families improve water quality with dependable, long-lasting water treatment solutions. From whole-home filtration to softener systems, we make it easy to enjoy better water every day.
- Water Purifier System Installation: If your tap water has an unusual taste, odor, or cloudy appearance, a water purifier system can make a world of difference. GEM installs high-quality filtration systems designed to remove contaminants, chlorine, and sediment. Our experts will assess your water quality and recommend the right system for your home, ensuring safe drinking water you can trust.
- Water Softener Installation: Hard water can leave behind mineral deposits that damage pipes, stain fixtures, and shorten the life of your appliances. GEM’s water softener installation service helps protect your plumbing system while improving the feel and performance of your water. We’ll work with you to choose the right size and model for your home, install it with precision, and make sure it operates efficiently from day one.
- Water Softener Maintenance: Just like any appliance, your water softener needs regular maintenance to keep working properly. Our technicians perform thorough system checkups: inspecting valves, refilling salt, and cleaning components to maintain peak performance. Regular maintenance helps prevent scaling, extends equipment life, and ensures your system continues delivering soft, high-quality water.
- Water Softener Repair: If you’ve noticed spots on dishes, dry skin, or stiff laundry, your water softener might not be working the way it should. GEM’s licensed plumbers can diagnose and repair all major makes and models, addressing issues like salt bridging, resin clogs, or faulty control valves. We work quickly to restore your system’s efficiency so you can get back to enjoying the benefits of soft, clean water.
- Water Softener Replacement: Over time, water softeners lose efficiency or stop performing altogether. When repairs no longer make sense, GEM can help you choose and install a modern replacement that meets your home’s needs and budget. New systems are more efficient, easier to maintain, and better for your plumbing.
