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.
The team was:

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 Clearing vs. Chemical Products
Store-bought drain cleaners promise quick solutions but typically cause worse problems.
Chemical products corrode pipes while only partially clearing clogs. Here’s why professional service is smarter.
Store chemicals eat away pipe walls, especially older Portsmouth systems. Professional methods protect all materials.
Retail products dissolve just enough for water to trickle. Professional tools remove everything so clogs don’t return quickly.
Professional plumbers determine why blockages form and suggest prevention. Chemicals only mask symptoms.
Drain cleaners emit toxic fumes and leave residue. Professional techniques eliminate these hazards.
