Our reputation is built on results. Here is what our customers have to say.
"Replaced an old water heater that was rusting out from the bottom. The new one is more efficient and they even upgraded the expansion tank and earthquake straps. Everything up to current code now."
"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."
"Pipe Masters snaked our main sewer line and ran a camera through it afterward to show us the condition. Turns out tree roots were the problem. They recommended a cleanout access point and installed it the next week."
