Our reputation is built on results. Here is what our customers have to say.
"Had a new gas line run from the meter to our kitchen for a gas range conversion. Everything was done to code, they scheduled the city inspection, and we passed first time. Very straightforward process."
"We had Pipe Masters fix a drain that had been backing up for months. Turned out there was a belly in the pipe under the driveway. They used pipe bursting to replace the section without digging up the concrete."
"Needed the main water shutoff valve replaced because the old gate valve was frozen open. Not a fun job since it required cutting into the foundation wall, but they did it right and it works perfectly."
