Our Tiverton Plumbing Services
Your home’s plumbing works behind the scenes until something goes wrong. Then it’s all you can think about.
Tiverton’s unique mix of coastal properties and rural areas creates varied plumbing needs. Waterfront homes face salt air corrosion. Inland properties often rely on private wells and septic systems.
GEM services all major components of your plumbing system, including water heaters, drains, sump pumps, well pumps, and water treatment equipment. Whether you’re facing an urgent leak or planning upgrades for improved performance, our technicians have the experience and tools to handle it right, backed by over 75 years serving Tiverton and surrounding Rhode Island communities.
Emergency Plumbing Services
GEM responds to plumbing emergencies across Tiverton any hour of the day or night.
When water floods your basement or drains back up unexpectedly, quick response prevents manageable problems from becoming major damage. Our licensed plumbers arrive equipped to contain the issue, fix it correctly, and protect your home. We handle everything from water heater failures and sump pump malfunctions to sewer backups.
Plumbing Repair
GEM repairs plumbing problems so Tiverton homeowners can return to normal.
Dripping faucets, sluggish drains, toilets that run constantly. Ignore them and they waste water, raise bills, and risk structural damage. Our plumbers handle clogs, leaks, supply line issues, and water heater problems. We find the cause, explain it clearly, and discuss options before starting.
Plumbing Maintenance
Scheduled maintenance keeps plumbing healthy and prevents surprise failures.
Coastal properties need more frequent maintenance due to salt air. Rural properties benefit from well and septic system checks. Preventive care extends the life of pipes, fixtures, and water heaters. GEM plumbers check for hidden leaks, corrosion, and pressure issues. We clear drains, test pressure, and verify everything operates correctly.
Plumbing Installation
Correct installation prevents the leaks, pressure drops, and early wear that follow shortcuts.
GEM makes the process clear with honest communication, upfront pricing, and sound recommendations. We install faucets, sinks, showers, water heaters, garbage disposals, and complete repiping. Every project meets code and gets tested before we leave.
Drain Cleaning
GEM clears blockages using camera inspection and hydro jetting equipment.
Slow drains often signal buildup deeper in your pipes. Grease, soap, hair, and debris accumulate until water struggles to pass. We locate the obstruction, clear it completely, and restore proper flow.
- 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
Your Tiverton family deserves clean, safe water at every faucet.
Many Tiverton homes rely on private wells where water quality varies significantly. Hard water, iron content, sulfur smell, and mineral deposits affect plumbing and appliances over time. GEM helps families improve water quality with reliable treatment solutions. Whole-house filtration, water softening, we make better water simple.
- Water Purifier System Installation: When well water contains bacteria, contaminants, or concerning chemistry, purification systems make water safe. GEM installs water filtration systems in Tiverton designed to remove contaminants, chlorine, and sediment. We test your water and recommend the right solution.
- Water Softener Installation: Hard water causes mineral buildup that damages pipes, stains fixtures, and shortens appliance life. GEM installs water softeners in Tiverton that protect your plumbing while improving how water feels. We select the right model, install it correctly, and verify operation.
- Water Softener Maintenance: Like any equipment, water softeners need regular service to perform well. Our technicians perform checkups, inspecting valves, replenishing salt, and cleaning components. Regular maintenance prevents scaling and extends equipment life.
- Water Softener Repair: Spots on glassware, dry skin, or stiff laundry suggest your softener isn’t performing. GEM plumbers diagnose and repair all major brands, fixing salt bridges, depleted resin, or faulty control valves. We restore efficiency so you enjoy soft water again.
- Water Softener Replacement: Water softeners lose effectiveness over time and eventually fail. When repairs no longer make sense, GEM helps you select and install a modern unit matched to your household. Newer systems run more efficiently and better protect your plumbing.

Sump Pumps
Tiverton’s coastal location and varying terrain put pressure on drainage systems.
Properties in low-lying areas and near the water face drainage challenges during coastal storms. A reliable sump pump protects your home from flooding that causes thousands in damage. Whether you need installation or service on your current pump, GEM provides expert sump pump care to keep basements dry.
- Sump Pump Installation: If your home lacks a sump pump or the current unit can’t handle heavy rain, GEM installs sump pumps in Tiverton that deliver lasting protection. Our plumbers assess your basement or crawl space, recommend appropriate capacity, and complete installation safely.
- Sump Pump Replacement: Sump pumps typically last 7-10 years before performance drops. If your pump runs constantly, makes strange sounds, or can’t keep up during storms, replacement may be needed.

Well Pumps
Many Tiverton properties rely on private wells for water supply.
When well pumps fail, routines stop. GEM provides well pump installation and repair in Tiverton to maintain reliable water supply for homes on private wells.
Leak Detection
Hidden leaks in Tiverton homes can cause serious damage if not caught early.
Aging pipes behind walls, under floors, and in basements make leaks hard to find without specialized equipment. GEM provides leak detection using acoustic technology, thermal imaging, and other advanced methods to pinpoint leaks with minimal disruption.
Septic Tanks
Homes with septic systems need regular care to avoid messy, expensive failures.
Many rural Tiverton properties operate on septic rather than municipal sewer. GEM provides septic-conscious plumbing service and coordinates with septic professionals when needed to protect your system.
Frozen Pipe Repair
Rhode Island winters can freeze pipes quickly, especially in unprotected areas of your home.
Pipes running through uninsulated walls, basements, or crawl spaces are vulnerable during cold snaps. Coastal winds increase freeze risk. GEM provides frozen pipe repair in Tiverton using professional thawing equipment to restore water flow safely and prevent bursting.
Garbage Disposals
Busy Tiverton households count on working garbage disposals for convenient kitchen cleanup.
Jams, leaks, motor issues, and persistent odors interfere with daily routines. For homes on septic, we provide honest advice about whether disposals suit your system. GEM repairs disposal problems and installs quality units that handle everyday use while operating quietly.
Sewer Lines
Aging infrastructure and tree roots can lead to sewer line trouble.
Tree roots, deteriorating materials, and outdated underground lines can force wastewater back into homes. GEM provides sewer line repair in Tiverton using camera diagnostics to identify issues accurately and delivers repairs or replacements that restore proper flow.
Kitchen & Bath Remodel
Renovating a Tiverton kitchen or bathroom requires skilled plumbing for new layouts and upgraded fixtures.
Remodeling typically involves relocating water lines, adjusting drains, and installing new fixtures. GEM coordinates with homeowners and contractors to ensure every sink, faucet, shower, and connection is installed correctly and to code.

Plumbing FAQs
Do you service both coastal and inland Tiverton properties?
Yes. We handle the full range of Tiverton plumbing needs – waterfront homes facing salt air corrosion, rural properties with wells and septic, and everything in between. Our experience with both coastal and rural Rhode Island systems means we understand your specific challenges.
How does coastal exposure affect plumbing?
Salt air accelerates corrosion on water heaters, fixtures, and exposed piping. Higher humidity creates condensation issues. We recommend stainless steel or polymer materials for coastal installations and more frequent maintenance for waterfront properties.
Do you work on well and septic systems?
Absolutely. We handle well pump installation, pressure tank replacement, and water treatment systems for well water. We provide septic-conscious plumbing service and coordinate with septic professionals to protect your system. Many Tiverton properties depend on these systems and we have extensive experience with them.
How quickly can you respond to emergencies?
We typically arrive within 1-2 hours for emergency calls in Tiverton and surrounding Newport County communities. Our 24/7 availability means you get help fast regardless of when problems strike – weekends, holidays, or middle of the night.
What plumbing issues are common in older Tiverton homes?
Older homes often contain original galvanized pipes prone to corrosion and low pressure. Cast iron drain lines deteriorate. If your home has well water, hard water and iron content create additional challenges. Regular inspections help catch problems before they cause damage or require expensive emergency repairs.
