"Good experience with Pipe Masters for emergency plumbing on a Sunday night. Toilet was overflowing into the hallway. They answered the phone immediately and had someone here in about forty minutes."
"Our dishwasher was leaking from the supply line. The plumber replaced the braided hose and the shutoff valve under the sink since it was corroded. Quick fix that prevented a much bigger problem."
"They found a pinhole leak in a copper pipe inside the wall using thermal imaging. Repaired the section and checked the rest of the run for similar corrosion. Very thorough and professional."
