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."
"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."
"Sink in the guest bathroom was draining so slowly it was basically unusable. They cleared the p-trap and found it was packed with years of buildup. Drains like new and they cleaned up after themselves."
