"I have used Pipe Masters three times now. Garbage disposal replacement, a leaking toilet valve, and most recently a faucet install in the guest bath. Consistent quality every single time."
"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."
"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."
