Honest reviews from homeowners who chose Pipe Masters for their plumbing needs.
"Had a new gas line run from the meter to our kitchen for a gas range conversion. Everything was done to code, they scheduled the city inspection, and we passed first time. Very straightforward process."
"Floor drain in the laundry room was backing up with sewage smell. They cleaned the line and found it was basically clogged with lint and soap residue from years of use. Smells normal again finally."
"Emergency call at 2 AM when a pipe burst in the basement during a freeze. They shut off the water, thawed the line, and replaced the split section. Saved us from serious water damage."
