Our Bucksport plumber explains the diagnosis clearly and gives you an honest assessment. If the repair cost exceeds 50% of replacement value or the unit is over 10 years old, we recommend replacement instead.

Honest reviews from homeowners who chose Pipe Masters for their plumbing needs.
"Pipe Masters was upfront about pricing from the start. No surprise charges after the work was done. They fixed a pinhole leak in a copper line and replaced a section that was showing green corrosion."
"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."
"The plumber was honest and told me my faucet just needed a new cartridge instead of a full replacement. Saved me a couple hundred dollars. That kind of honesty earns a customer for life."
