Honest reviews from homeowners who chose Pipe Masters for their plumbing needs.
"Called about a running toilet that was driving up our water bill. The plumber replaced the fill valve and flapper in about twenty minutes. Simple fix but it was wasting gallons every hour."
"We had a frozen pipe burst in the crawl space during the cold snap. They replaced the damaged section and insulated the exposed pipes so it would not happen again. Smart, not just reactive."
"Our water heater started leaking from the bottom on a Friday evening. They had a new 50-gallon unit installed by Saturday afternoon. No cold showers for the family, thankfully."
