Honest reviews from homeowners who chose Pipe Masters for their plumbing needs.
"Called for a leak detection appointment. They used some kind of acoustic equipment and found a slab leak under the living room. Gave us three options for repair with honest pricing on each one."
"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."
"Whole house was getting terrible water pressure. Turned out the main shutoff valve was partially closed and calcified. They replaced it and the pressure regulator. Like a brand new house now."
