"Garbage disposal stopped working completely. The plumber tried to reset it first and when that did not work he replaced it with a more powerful unit. Took maybe thirty minutes start to finish."
"We had a frozen pipe burst in the crawl space during the cold snap. They replaced the damaged section and insulated the exposed pipes so it would not happen again. Smart, not just reactive."
"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."
