Honest reviews from homeowners who chose Pipe Masters for their plumbing needs.
"Pipe Masters came out the same day I called about a burst pipe under my kitchen sink. They had it fixed in under an hour and even checked the rest of the line for weak spots. Genuinely impressed."
"We had Pipe Masters fix a drain that had been backing up for months. Turned out there was a belly in the pipe under the driveway. They used pipe bursting to replace the section without digging up the concrete."
"Needed the main water shutoff valve replaced because the old gate valve was frozen open. Not a fun job since it required cutting into the foundation wall, but they did it right and it works perfectly."
