"Called Pipe Masters for a gas leak we could smell near the water heater. They were here within the hour, found the issue at a corroded fitting, and replaced the whole connection. Could not feel safer."
"Had the drains cleaned in our older home. The plumber used a hydro jetter on the main line and a snake on the smaller branch lines. Water flows perfectly now. Should have done this years ago."
"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."
