A running toilet can waste thousands of gallons and cost you hundreds in water bills every year. When your toilet starts acting up, you need it fixed fast and done right.
That’s exactly what you get with Murray Plumbing. Your toilet will flush properly, stop running when it should, and quit leaking water where it doesn’t belong. You’ll have a bathroom that works like it should, without the constant worry about what’s going wrong next.
We handle everything from simple flapper replacements to complete toilet installations. In South Lake Tahoe, where many homes date back decades, we often work with older plumbing systems that need careful attention to get them working properly again.
Murray Plumbing has been solving toilet problems throughout South Lake Tahoe for years. We understand how Tahoe’s mountain climate affects your plumbing – from freezing temperatures that stress older systems to hard water that builds up mineral deposits.
Our team responds quickly when you call, shows up on time, and brings everything needed to get your toilet working again. With a 4.7-star Google rating from 93 reviews, we’ve built our reputation on doing the job right the first time.
We’re not just passing through town. We live and work here, so we understand the unique challenges that come with mountain living and older homes that weren’t built for today’s usage patterns.
When you call Murray Plumbing, we’ll ask a few questions about what’s happening with your toilet. This helps us bring the right tools and parts for your specific situation.
Once we arrive, we’ll inspect your toilet thoroughly – checking the tank components, water level, flush mechanism, and looking for leaks or damage. We’ll explain what we find in plain terms, so you know exactly what needs to be fixed.
You’ll get an upfront price before we start any work. No surprises or hidden fees. Once you approve the repair, we’ll get your toilet working properly and test everything to make sure it’s functioning correctly. Most repairs are completed the same day, so you can get back to your normal routine without dealing with a broken toilet.

We fix running toilets, clogged toilets, leaky toilets, and toilets that won’t flush properly. Whether it’s a simple part replacement or a more complex repair involving the entire flush mechanism, we have the experience and parts to handle it.
In South Lake Tahoe’s older homes, we often see toilets with original parts that have worn out over decades of use. We stock quality replacement parts that are designed to handle our local water conditions and temperature changes. When a repair isn’t cost-effective, we can also handle complete toilet replacement with modern, efficient units.
Our service includes everything from basic adjustments and part replacements to addressing more complex issues like toilet flanges, wax ring replacements, and problems with the toilet’s connection to your home’s plumbing system. We also handle emergency toilet repairs when you can’t wait for regular business hours.
Most toilet repairs in South Lake Tahoe cost between $150 and $400, depending on what needs to be fixed. Simple repairs like replacing a flapper or fill valve are on the lower end, while more complex issues involving multiple components cost more.
We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you’ll know exactly what the repair will cost. There are no hidden fees or surprise charges. Many toilet repairs pay for themselves quickly by stopping water waste that can add hundreds of dollars to your annual water bills.
In South Lake Tahoe’s older homes, we frequently see toilets that run continuously, won’t flush properly, or have leaks around the base. Hard water mineral buildup often causes fill valves and flappers to fail prematurely.
Temperature fluctuations from our mountain climate can also affect toilet components, causing them to warp or crack over time. Older toilets may have parts that are no longer manufactured, but we can usually find suitable replacements or recommend upgrading to a more reliable modern toilet if the repair costs don’t make sense.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency toilet repair service throughout South Lake Tahoe. We understand that a completely non-functional toilet isn’t something you can ignore, especially if you only have one bathroom in your home.
Emergency service is available for situations like toilets that won’t stop overflowing, complete flush mechanism failures, or significant leaks that are causing water damage. We’ll respond as quickly as possible and work to restore your toilet service the same day whenever possible, even during evenings and weekends.
If your toilet is less than 10 years old and the repair cost is under half the price of replacement, repair usually makes the most sense. For toilets over 15 years old with major component failures, replacement often provides better long-term value.
We’ll be honest about what makes the most financial sense for your situation. Factors like water efficiency, the condition of the toilet bowl and tank, and how well your current toilet handles South Lake Tahoe’s hard water all play into this decision. Modern toilets are also much more water-efficient than older models, which can save money on your water bills.
We typically respond to toilet repair calls within a few hours during normal business hours, and we prioritize emergency calls that need immediate attention. Response times may be slightly longer during severe winter weather due to road conditions, but we always work to get to you as quickly as possible.
When you call, we can often walk you through temporary measures to minimize problems while we’re on our way. Our trucks are stocked with the most common toilet repair parts, so we can usually complete repairs on the first visit instead of having to come back later with special-order parts.
Yes, we can diagnose and fix toilets that clog frequently. Often, recurring clogs are caused by problems with the toilet’s flush mechanism, partial blockages in the drain line, or issues with the toilet’s design that prevent proper waste removal.
We’ll inspect the entire system – from the toilet bowl and trap to the connection with your home’s drain line – to identify what’s causing the repeated clogs. Sometimes it’s as simple as adjusting the water level or replacing a worn flapper, while other times it requires clearing blockages further down the line or recommending a toilet upgrade with better flushing performance.
