We had a leak in the feed tube going into our toilet. It leaked down through the ceiling into our kitchen. I called GEM and they sent technicians right out to fix the problem. The technicians arrived, assessed the problem and gave us a very reasonable quote. The technician also noticed veteran plates on my car and applied a 10% discount! They fixed the problem, noticed that the feed tubes to my sink didn't look good and corrected them as well. Both technicians were very personable and kind. They helped lower our anxiety as well. Great experience! Highly recommend GEM plumbing!

Two great gentlemen (Brandon and Maxwell) came to my house to fix a leaking faucet. They explain all the questions from me and wife. They even give nice advice about reglazing the sink. Due to the distance between the cabinet and the sink, they tried very hard to find the best possible solution for us and install a new faucet. It is a wonderful job!! Highly recommended!!
The GEM service technicians showed up promptly. They were quick and efficient with their service. They had good recommendations and were very cordial. I would call on them again.

I have already posted a 5 star review and want to post another. Four years after becoming a GEM customer, I remain totally satisfied with their service. I could name a lot of names: Nathan Campbell, Tony Rossi, Michael Hassel, Steven Gray and his partner Chase, and others who have all been incredibly responsive and totally dedicated to solving the problem at hand. I think for an organization as large as GEM they have managed to recruit and train a great group of professionals. All that matters to me is quick access to such a good group caring pros.

The service and attention to detail is excellent. They identified the problems with 2 toilets and 2 shower faucets and resolved every issue with the least amount of disruption. They even went the extra mile to identify the cause of a ceiling stain to make sure it wasn't from water. I recommend them highly for quality of work, knowledge and efficiency.


How to Know When You Need a New Water Heater Installed

Here’s what a dying water heater looks like.

Scituate homeowners should be aware of these symptoms. GEM provides straightforward advice about repair vs. replacement.

Most water heaters last 8 to 12 years. If yours is approaching or past the 10-year mark, efficiency has likely dropped and the risk of failure increases. Replacing now avoids unexpected breakdowns and the inconvenience that comes with them.

Discolored hot water or visible rust on the tank exterior signals corrosion inside. While sometimes caused by aging pipes, rust in hot water that clears up after running usually points to the water heater itself. This problem only gets worse.

If your water heater used to recover quickly between uses but now takes hours, age and sediment are catching up. When flushing no longer helps, the system is losing capacity. Replacement restores reliable hot water.

For gas water heaters, a pilot light that keeps going out indicates a failing thermocouple or other component. While sometimes repairable, recurring pilot problems in older units often point toward replacement being the better investment.

Water Heater Installation FAQs

When should I start thinking about replacing my water heater?

Once your water heater approaches 10 years old, it’s wise to start planning for replacement even if it’s still working. That way you can research options, budget accordingly, and replace on your schedule rather than in an emergency. Many Scituate homeowners find that proactive replacement avoids the inconvenience and potential water damage of an unexpected failure.

Can GEM handle water heater emergencies in Scituate?

Yes. We provide 24/7 emergency service throughout Scituate and the Providence County area. If your water heater fails unexpectedly, leaks, or poses a safety concern, call us immediately. Our technicians can respond quickly to assess the situation and get your hot water restored as soon as possible.

What maintenance does a water heater need?

Regular maintenance includes annual flushing to remove sediment, periodic anode rod inspection, and checking the pressure relief valve. These simple tasks extend equipment life and maintain efficiency. Many Scituate homeowners find it easier to have GEM handle maintenance through our Home Comfort Club, which includes scheduled service visits and priority scheduling if problems arise.

How much can I save with an efficient water heater?

That depends on your current equipment and usage, but the savings can be substantial. Upgrading from an older standard tank to a high-efficiency model typically reduces water heating costs by 10 to 20%. Switching to a heat pump water heater can cut costs in half. For a Scituate household spending $50 a month on water heating, that’s real money over the 10 to 15 year life of the equipment.

Should I get a gas or electric water heater for my Scituate home?

That often depends on what’s already in your home. If you have natural gas service and existing gas lines to your water heater location, a gas unit typically offers faster recovery times and lower operating costs. If you’re electric-only, an electric water heater or heat pump model avoids the expense of running new gas lines. GEM evaluates your Scituate home’s infrastructure and helps you choose the option that makes practical and financial sense.
