"Had Pipe Masters install a backflow preventer after our city sent a compliance notice. They handled the install and the testing certification in one visit. Passed inspection on the first try."
"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."
"Whole house was getting terrible water pressure. Turned out the main shutoff valve was partially closed and calcified. They replaced it and the pressure regulator. Like a brand new house now."
