“There has been a recurring main plumbing line problem that I have been dealing with for years... which ended up being a piece of 2" ABS in my 3" main line, likely from the previous owner and not disclosed when I purchased the home. Initially company "X" came out and gave me an estimate but said they could not guarantee their work. I waited and dealt with the problem on my own for years and finally had a friend refer me to ASAP. I could not be happier.”

“PHENOMENAL EXPERTICE in plumbing. We had a slab leak caused by a burst in our cold water line the morning after Christmas 2024. Voyager plumbing immediately began to coordinate testing for moisture, abatement for lead/asbestos, packing out, and drying in preparation to execute repairs. By 14 Jan 2025 Voyager, guided by the leadership of Frank Arias, completed a TOTAL reinstall of all hot/cold water lines and drain lines for two bathrooms, kitchen, garage and ALL outdoor water/drain fixtures.”
