Honest reviews from homeowners who chose Pipe Masters for their plumbing needs.
"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."
"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."
