Real feedback from homeowners who trusted Pipe Masters with their plumbing projects.
"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."
"Bathroom install for our basement finishing project. Toilet, vanity, and a walk-in shower. The plumber worked with our contractor seamlessly and everything was done on schedule."
"Whole house was getting terrible water pressure. Turned out the main shutoff valve was partially closed and calcified. They replaced it and the pressure regulator. Like a brand new house now."
