Murray Plumbing has been solving sewer problems for Somerset residents who need reliable service, not empty promises. We’ve built our reputation on showing up when we say we will, fixing problems right the first time, and charging fair prices without surprise fees.
Somerset’s aging infrastructure means sewer issues are more common than they should be. We know the local challenges—from tree root intrusions to older pipe materials that are reaching their limits.
We respond to emergency calls 24/7 because sewer problems don’t wait for business hours. When you call Murray Plumbing, you’re getting experienced technicians who understand that your time matters and your home is important.
When you call us with a sewer problem, we start by listening to what’s happening and asking the right questions to understand your situation. No generic responses or rushing you off the phone.
We’ll schedule a time that works for you and arrive with the equipment needed to diagnose the issue properly. We use camera inspection technology to see exactly what’s wrong with your sewer line, so you’re not paying for guesswork.
Once we identify the problem, we’ll explain what needs to be done and provide you with a clear, upfront price. Whether it’s hydro jetting to clear stubborn blockages, spot repairs for damaged sections, or full line replacement, we’ll walk you through your options so you can make an informed decision. After we complete the work, we’ll test the system to make sure everything is working properly before we consider the job finished.

Our sewer services cover everything from routine maintenance to emergency repairs and full line replacements. We use professional-grade hydro jetting equipment to clear even the toughest clogs caused by grease buildup, tree roots, or mineral deposits—common problems in Somerset’s aging infrastructure.
For damaged sewer lines, we offer both traditional and trenchless repair options. Trenchless methods like pipe lining and pipe bursting can save you thousands compared to full excavation while minimizing disruption to your yard and landscaping.
Somerset homeowners face unique challenges with older sewer systems and mature trees whose roots seek out water sources. We understand these local factors and come equipped with the right tools and experience to handle whatever your sewer system throws at us. We also provide emergency cleanup services if you’ve experienced a sewage backup, because we know these situations require immediate attention to prevent health hazards and property damage.
Sewer repair costs depend on the specific problem and repair method needed. Basic hydro jetting to clear clogs typically runs $400-800, while spot repairs using trenchless methods range from $3,000-12,000 for damaged sections.
Full sewer line replacement varies significantly based on length and depth, but trenchless methods are often 30-40% less expensive than traditional excavation. We always provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you’ll know exactly what you’re paying before we begin.
The key is getting the problem diagnosed properly first. Many sewer issues that seem major can actually be resolved with hydro jetting or targeted repairs, saving you thousands compared to unnecessary full line replacement.
The most obvious signs include sewage backing up into your home, multiple drains running slowly at the same time, or gurgling sounds coming from your drains when you use water elsewhere in the house.
You might also notice foul odors coming from drains, wet spots in your yard that don’t dry up, or unusually green patches of grass over your sewer line. These often indicate leaks that are allowing sewage to seep into the surrounding soil.
Don’t ignore these warning signs—sewer problems typically get worse quickly and can cause significant property damage. If you’re experiencing any of these issues, it’s worth having a professional camera inspection to see exactly what’s happening in your sewer line before the problem escalates.
Most sewer repairs can be completed in one day, depending on the scope of work needed. Simple hydro jetting to clear blockages usually takes 2-4 hours from start to finish.
Trenchless spot repairs typically take 4-8 hours, while full line replacement using trenchless methods can often be completed in 1-2 days. Traditional excavation and replacement takes longer—usually 3-5 days—because of the digging and restoration work required.
Emergency repairs get priority scheduling, and we work efficiently to restore your sewer service as quickly as possible. We’ll give you a realistic timeline when we assess your specific situation, and we’ll keep you updated if anything changes during the repair process.
Hydro jetting can be safe for older pipes, but it requires proper assessment first. We always perform a camera inspection before hydro jetting to check the condition of your pipes and identify any cracks or weak spots that could be damaged by high-pressure water.
For pipes in good structural condition, hydro jetting is actually gentler than mechanical snaking and more effective at removing buildup. The water pressure can be adjusted based on your pipe material and condition.
If we find that your pipes are too fragile for hydro jetting, we’ll recommend alternative cleaning methods or discuss repair options to strengthen the line first. Our goal is to solve your sewer problem without creating new ones, so we’re conservative when it comes to protecting older infrastructure.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency sewer repair service throughout Somerset. Sewer emergencies can’t wait—sewage backups pose health risks and can cause extensive property damage if not addressed immediately.
When you call our emergency line, you’ll reach a real person who can dispatch a technician to your location. We typically respond to emergency calls within 1-2 hours, depending on your location and current service calls.
Emergency service does include an after-hours fee, but we’ll explain all costs upfront before starting any work. Our emergency technicians come equipped with the tools needed to handle most sewer problems on the spot, including hydro jetting equipment and camera inspection systems.
Traditional sewer repair requires digging trenches to access your sewer line, which means tearing up your yard, driveway, or landscaping. It’s more labor-intensive and typically costs more when you factor in restoration work afterward.
Trenchless methods like pipe lining or pipe bursting allow us to repair or replace your sewer line with minimal digging—usually just small access points. This preserves your landscaping and is often faster to complete.
Trenchless repair isn’t always possible depending on your pipe’s condition and location, but when it’s an option, it can save you significant money and disruption. We’ll assess your situation and explain which methods will work best for your specific sewer problem and property layout.
