"Hired Pipe Masters for a plumbing inspection before closing on our house. They found a slow leak behind the washing machine and a water heater that was on its last legs. Saved us from expensive surprises."
"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."
"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."
