Murray Plumbing has been serving El Dorado homeowners who need reliable sewer repair and won’t settle for quick fixes. We understand the specific challenges your home faces—from the clay soil that shifts and damages underground pipes to the aging infrastructure that’s reaching its breaking point.

Our sewer repair services include everything you need to restore your system: emergency sewer line repair for urgent backups, hydro jetting to remove years of grease and root buildup, trenchless sewer replacement that avoids tearing up your landscaping, and traditional excavation when necessary.
El Dorado’s unique challenges require local expertise. The clay soil in this area expands and contracts with weather changes, putting stress on underground pipes. Many homes built during the area’s growth periods are now dealing with aging sewer lines that need professional attention.
We specialize in addressing these regional issues with solutions that work long-term. Whether your sewer problems stem from tree root intrusion, pipe corrosion, or ground shifting, we have the equipment and experience to fix it right the first time.
Watch for these warning signs: persistent sewage odors around your property, drains that gurgle or drain slowly throughout your home, sewage backing up into floor drains or toilets, and wet spots in your yard that smell like sewage.
In El Dorado’s clay soil, you might also notice foundation settling or cracks that coincide with plumbing problems. The soil movement here puts extra stress on underground pipes, making early detection crucial.
If you’re experiencing any of these issues, call us for a camera inspection. We can pinpoint the exact problem and give you options for repair before a minor issue becomes a major emergency.
El Dorado’s clay soil is the biggest culprit—it shifts with moisture changes, putting pressure on underground pipes and causing them to crack or separate. Tree roots are another major issue, especially from mature oaks and other native trees that seek out water sources.
Aging infrastructure also plays a role. Many homes built in the 1980s and 1990s are reaching the point where original sewer lines need replacement. The combination of ground movement, root intrusion, and normal wear creates perfect conditions for sewer problems.
Grease buildup and improper disposal of household items down drains accelerate these issues. Regular maintenance and proper usage can extend your sewer line’s life, but eventually, most systems will need professional attention.
Sewer repair costs depend on the specific problem and repair method needed. Simple drain cleaning might run a few hundred dollars, while full line replacement can cost several thousand.
We provide upfront pricing before any work begins, so you know exactly what you’re paying. Many customers tell us our final bill was actually less than our initial estimate—we don’t pad our quotes or surprise you with hidden fees.
The key is getting the problem diagnosed properly first. Our camera inspection shows us exactly what’s wrong, allowing us to recommend the most cost-effective solution. Sometimes a targeted repair saves thousands compared to full replacement, but we’ll only know after we see what’s actually happening underground.
In many cases, yes. We use trenchless repair methods whenever possible to minimize disruption to your landscaping and hardscaping. Techniques like pipe lining and pipe bursting can restore your sewer line function without the mess and expense of traditional excavation.
However, some situations require traditional digging—particularly when pipes have completely collapsed or when we need to address multiple problem areas. Our camera inspection reveals which approach will work best for your specific situation.
Even when excavation is necessary, we take care to minimize the impact on your property. We’ll work with you to choose access points that cause the least disruption and restore your landscaping when the job is complete.
Absolutely. Sewer emergencies don’t wait for business hours, and neither do we. Our 24/7 emergency service means you can reach a real person any time of day or night, and we’ll have a licensed technician at your door as quickly as possible.
Sewer backups pose serious health risks and can cause extensive property damage if not addressed immediately. When you call our emergency line, we prioritize your call and dispatch our nearest available technician.
Our emergency service covers the full range of urgent sewer problems: main line backups, sewage overflows, and any situation where contaminated water is entering your home. We carry the equipment needed to handle most emergency repairs on the first visit, getting your home safe and functional again fast.
When done properly with quality materials, sewer line repairs should last decades. Traditional pipe replacement using modern materials like PVC can last 50-100 years under normal conditions. Trenchless repairs typically come with warranties of 10-50 years depending on the specific method used.
The key is addressing problems completely the first time rather than applying temporary patches. We focus on permanent solutions that eliminate the root cause of your sewer issues, not just the symptoms.
Regular maintenance extends the life of any repair. We recommend periodic camera inspections and professional cleaning to catch small issues before they become major problems. With proper care, a quality sewer repair should be the last one you need for many years.
