"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."
"Had the drains cleaned in our older home. The plumber used a hydro jetter on the main line and a snake on the smaller branch lines. Water flows perfectly now. Should have done this years ago."
"Had Pipe Masters install a backflow preventer after our city sent a compliance notice. They handled the install and the testing certification in one visit. Passed inspection on the first try."
