"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."
"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."
