"Our water heater started leaking from the bottom on a Friday evening. They had a new 50-gallon unit installed by Saturday afternoon. No cold showers for the family, thankfully."
"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."
"Pipe Masters replaced our sump pump before hurricane season. The old one was barely running. New pump with a battery backup gives us real peace of mind when the power goes out during storms."
