Honest reviews from homeowners who chose Pipe Masters for their plumbing needs.
"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."
"We used Pipe Masters for a whole-house repipe. Old galvanized pipes were failing everywhere. They mapped out the entire job, finished in three days, and the water pressure difference is night and day."
"We had Pipe Masters fix a drain that had been backing up for months. Turned out there was a belly in the pipe under the driveway. They used pipe bursting to replace the section without digging up the concrete."
