"We had a clogged toilet that a plunger could not fix. The plumber used an auger and pulled out a toy car my toddler had flushed. Problem solved in ten minutes and he was really nice about it."
"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."
"Pipe Masters snaked our main sewer line and ran a camera through it afterward to show us the condition. Turns out tree roots were the problem. They recommended a cleanout access point and installed it the next week."
