Common Drain Problems in Newport Homes

Newport’s historic housing stock and coastal location create specific drain challenges.

Cooking grease coats pipe walls and hardens over time, trapping food particles until water barely passes through. Newport’s older cast iron pipes are especially prone to grease accumulation.

Hair binds with soap scum and personal care products to form dense clogs in shower and sink drains. These blockages worsen gradually until drains stop completely.

Newport’s water supply leaves mineral buildup inside pipes that narrows the opening over time. Annual cleaning removes these deposits before they cause complete blockages.

Mature trees throughout Newport’s neighborhoods send roots into aging sewer lines through small cracks. Roots grow inside pipes until they block flow entirely.

Many Newport homes have original cast iron or clay pipes that corrode and collect debris more easily than modern materials. Professional cleaning removes decades of buildup.

Nate came out first thing in the morning to help with my clogged sewer main. He was very professional and kind. He explained everything with no difficulty and offered multiple cost-tiered options. Mainly whether we would utilize a camera in the process of snaking the main. I appreciated being offered the option. We went with the camera process. So we could fully diagnose the issue, and determine if this would be a recurring problem.
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.

Incredible company.
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.

I was able to schedule an appointment for the next day. The technician was great. Chris went over everything that needed to be done and explained it clearly. Very professional. He was also able to offer a discount and waived the fee for the service call. When I reviewed the bill that night, there was an error and the fee hadn’t been waived. When I called Gem the next day, they saw the error and immediately corrected it. Said the refund would be put on my credit card. Very happy with the service.

I am very happy with my well water pump service. David Chapman and his associate were professional, friendly and respectful. David showed me how to change my filter for which I am truly grateful.
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!

Professional Cleaning vs. Store-Bought Chemicals

Those bottles at the hardware store rarely work and often make things worse.

Chemical drain cleaners corrode pipes and only dissolve part of the clog. Here’s why professional cleaning is the smarter choice for Newport homeowners.

Chemical cleaners damage pipes over time, especially the older pipes in many Newport homes. Professional methods are safe for all pipe materials.

Store products only clear a partial opening. Professional equipment removes everything so your drain flows freely and stays that way.

Professional cleaning addresses the root cause, not just the symptoms. You get lasting results instead of calling again next month.

Chemical cleaners release harmful fumes and leave residue. Professional methods are safe for your family and your plumbing.
