Our reputation is built on results. Here is what our customers have to say.
"Pipe Masters diagnosed a slab leak that two other plumbers completely missed. They used electronic detection equipment and pinpointed the exact spot without tearing up the whole floor."
"Floor drain in the laundry room was backing up with sewage smell. They cleaned the line and found it was basically clogged with lint and soap residue from years of use. Smells normal again finally."
"Had a new gas line run from the meter to our kitchen for a gas range conversion. Everything was done to code, they scheduled the city inspection, and we passed first time. Very straightforward process."
