Honest reviews from homeowners who chose Pipe Masters for their plumbing needs.
"Hired them to install a new shower system during our master bath renovation. They moved the supply lines, set the new valve, and added a rain head. The tile guy said the rough-in was perfect."
"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."
