"Bathroom install for our basement finishing project. Toilet, vanity, and a walk-in shower. The plumber worked with our contractor seamlessly and everything was done on schedule."
"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."
"Pipe Masters was upfront about pricing from the start. No surprise charges after the work was done. They fixed a pinhole leak in a copper line and replaced a section that was showing green corrosion."
