Most standard homeowners policies in Columbia cover sudden and accidental water damage, such as a burst pipe. However, they usually do not cover gradual leaks, wear and tear, or maintenance issues. We help Columbia homeowners understand their coverage and provide documentation for claims that do apply.

Honest feedback from homeowners who trusted Pipe Masters with their plumbing projects.
"Sewer line was backing up into the basement floor drain every time it rained. They scoped the line with a camera and found a collapsed section about thirty feet out. Replaced it with trenchless pipe bursting."
"Our water heater started leaking from the bottom on a Friday evening. They had a new 50-gallon unit installed by Saturday afternoon. No cold showers for the family, thankfully."
