Burst pipes, overflowing fixtures, and sudden leaks ignore schedules, and so do we. We know the stress when water floods your Wenscott basement or drains back up during dinner near Douglas Avenue. A minor leak can escalate into serious damage, raising repair costs and disrupting household routines.

That’s why our local, licensed plumbers arrive prepared to contain the problem, repair it properly, and protect your home from additional harm. From water heater failures to malfunctioning sump pumps and sewer backups, GEM responds with the expertise and care your emergency requires.

Plumbing Installation

Professional plumbing installation prevents leaks, pressure issues, and premature system wear.

GEM eliminates guesswork with clear communication, transparent pricing, and recommendations you can trust. We install everything from faucets, sinks, and showers to water heaters, garbage disposals, and whole-house repiping.

Repair Icon

Plumbing Repair

When plumbing issues disrupt your day, GEM helps North Providence homeowners restore normal function quickly.

Small problems like leaking faucets, slow drains, or running toilets can escalate into major headaches. Neglected, they waste water, drive up bills, and risk structural damage to your home.

Our plumbers tackle every type of repair, from stubborn clogs and dripping fixtures to broken supply lines, sewer backups, and failing water heaters. We pinpoint the cause, explain it simply, and review your options before starting any work.

Maintenance Icon

Plumbing Maintenance

Consistent maintenance keeps your plumbing in good shape and helps you avoid unexpected breakdowns.

Preventive care also prolongs the life of your water heater, pipes, and fixtures, saving money and frustration over time.

GEM’s experienced plumbers look for hidden leaks, corrosion, pressure problems, and early wear that typically escapes notice until damage occurs. We clear drains, check water pressure, and ensure every fixture, connection, and valve works as designed.

Drain Cleaning Icon

Drain Cleaning

GEM’s plumbing team uses camera inspections and hydro jetting to locate and clear blockages thoroughly.

Clogged drains in North Providence may seem minor but frequently indicate deeper problems within your plumbing system. Grease, soap scum, hair, and debris accumulate inside pipes over time, causing sluggish drainage, bad odors, and eventually backups that damage floors and walls. We find the source, clean your drains completely, and restore proper flow throughout your home.

  • 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 Icon

Water Treatment

Your North Providence family deserves clean, healthy water from every faucet.

Many homeowners in North Providence deal with hard water, strange tastes, or mineral deposits that gradually damage plumbing and appliances. GEM helps local families improve water quality with reliable, lasting treatment solutions. From whole-house filtration to water softening, we make better water easy to achieve.

  • Water Purifier System Installation: When tap water tastes unusual, smells off, or appears cloudy, a purification system makes a noticeable difference. GEM installs water filtration systems in North Providence designed to remove contaminants, chlorine, and sediment. Our team evaluates your water and recommends the right solution, providing safe drinking water your family can rely on.
  • Water Softener Installation: Hard water creates mineral buildup that damages pipes, stains fixtures, and reduces appliance lifespans. GEM provides water softener installation in North Providence that protects your plumbing while improving how your water feels and performs. We help select the right size and model, install it carefully, and confirm efficient operation from day one.
  • Water Softener Maintenance: Like any equipment, water softeners need periodic service to function effectively. Our technicians perform complete checkups, inspecting valves, adding salt, and cleaning components to maintain optimal performance. Regular maintenance prevents scaling, extends equipment life, and ensures consistent soft water delivery.
  • Water Softener Repair: Spots on dishes, dry skin, or scratchy laundry indicate your softener may not be working properly. GEM’s licensed plumbers diagnose and repair all major brands, addressing issues like salt bridges, worn resin, or faulty control valves. We restore efficiency promptly so you can enjoy soft, clean water again.
  • Water Softener Replacement: Water softeners gradually lose effectiveness and eventually require replacement. When repairs no longer make sense, GEM helps you choose and install a modern unit matched to your home and budget. Newer systems run more efficiently, need less maintenance, and provide better plumbing protection.

We remove the old pump, install the replacement, and test it thoroughly before leaving.

Plumbing FAQs

How do I prevent clogged drains?

Keep grease, oil, coffee grounds, and food scraps out of the kitchen sink. Use drain screens in bathrooms to catch hair and soap buildup. Professional drain cleaning on a regular basis also helps prevent accumulation and keeps pipes flowing freely.

How does North Providence’s climate affect plumbing?

Harsh winters can freeze and burst pipes, while humid summers and heavy rainfall may overwhelm sump pumps and create moisture problems around plumbing. Seasonal maintenance including pipe insulation and sump pump testing helps avoid expensive damage.

What should I look for in a North Providence plumber?

Look for a licensed, insured plumber with solid reviews and experience in both repairs and installations. Choosing an established local company like GEM means reliable service from professionals familiar with Rhode Island homes and plumbing systems.

How long do water heaters usually last?

Traditional tank water heaters typically last 8 to 12 years, while tankless units can reach 20 years with proper maintenance. Regular flushing, inspections, and prompt repairs maximize lifespan and maintain efficiency.

What causes low water pressure?

Low pressure often stems from mineral accumulation, leaks, aging fixtures, or issues with your main water line. It may also point to problems with your water heater or pressure regulator. A licensed plumber can determine the cause and restore proper flow.
