"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."
"Pipe Masters came out the same day I called about a burst pipe under my kitchen sink. They had it fixed in under an hour and even checked the rest of the line for weak spots. Genuinely impressed."
"Pipe Masters replaced our 20-year-old tank water heater with a tankless unit. Installation took most of the day because of the gas line rework, but the result is endless hot water and lower bills."
