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!

Waltham Water Heater Repair Questions
Is repair or replacement the better option?
Age and condition guide this choice. Water heaters under 10 years with isolated issues typically warrant repair. Units past 12 years, especially with leaks or corrosion, often make replacement smarter. GEM’s plumbers assess your situation and offer honest recommendations.
Does GEM work on all water heater brands?
Yes. Our Waltham team repairs all major brands of traditional tank water heaters. Electric or gas, our licensed plumbers diagnose quickly and restore hot water.
What causes complete hot water failure?
Total failure usually stems from element burnout, thermostat malfunction, sediment blockage, or power issues. GEM technicians identify the cause and restore operation.
What makes my water heater rumble?
Sediment at the tank bottom creates rumbling during heating. Minerals accumulate over time, trapping heat and causing uneven boiling. Regular maintenance prevents this.
My water heater leaks – what now?
Shut the supply valve above the tank first, then cut power at the breaker or gas valve. Call GEM immediately. Leaks indicate loose fittings or tank failure. Our team offers same-day Waltham service and recommends the best solution.
