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!
