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!

Water Heater Repair Questions from Wellesley Homeowners
Should I repair or replace my Wellesley water heater?
Age and repair cost determine the answer. Water heaters under 10 years old with minor problems are usually worth repairing. Units over 10-12 years, especially those with tank leaks or multiple issues, are often better replaced. GEM’s plumbers provide honest recommendations based on your specific situation and budget.
Can GEM repair all water heater brands?
Yes. Our Wellesley plumbers repair all major brands including Rheem, AO Smith, Bradford White, and others. We service both gas and electric tank water heaters with the same expertise.
What causes water heaters to stop producing hot water?
Common causes include failed heating elements, thermostat malfunctions, sediment buildup, and power supply issues. Sometimes a tripped breaker or pilot light problem is the culprit. GEM’s technicians diagnose the exact cause and restore your hot water.
Why is my water heater making popping noises?
Sediment buildup causes those sounds. Minerals in your water settle at the tank bottom, trapping heat and causing uneven boiling. Regular maintenance from GEM prevents this buildup and extends your water heater’s life.
What should I do if my water heater is leaking?
Turn off the water supply and power (gas or electric) immediately. Then call GEM. Leaks can indicate anything from a loose fitting to a failing tank. Our Wellesley team offers same-day service to assess the situation and recommend repair or replacement.
