Honest reviews from homeowners who chose Pipe Masters for their plumbing needs.
"Hired Pipe Masters for a plumbing inspection before closing on our house. They found a slow leak behind the washing machine and a water heater that was on its last legs. Saved us from expensive surprises."
"Had the drains cleaned in our older home. The plumber used a hydro jetter on the main line and a snake on the smaller branch lines. Water flows perfectly now. Should have done this years ago."
"Replaced an old water heater that was rusting out from the bottom. The new one is more efficient and they even upgraded the expansion tank and earthquake straps. Everything up to current code now."
