"Garbage disposal stopped working completely. The plumber tried to reset it first and when that did not work he replaced it with a more powerful unit. Took maybe thirty minutes start to finish."
"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."
