You know that sinking feeling when water starts pooling where it shouldn’t. The panic when your water heater stops working on a Sunday morning. The frustration when other plumbers tell you they can squeeze you in “sometime next week.”

Murray Plumbing has earned a 4.7-star rating from 93 Google reviews because we do something radical in this industry: we show up when we say we will, charge what we quoted, and fix problems correctly the first time.
We understand Sacramento’s unique plumbing challenges. The hard water that builds up sediment in your pipes. The older infrastructure in established neighborhoods. The tree roots that find their way into sewer lines. We’ve seen it all, and we know how to fix it permanently.
Unlike the big franchise companies that send whoever’s available, you get experienced professionals who live and work in this community. We’re not just passing through—we’re your neighbors.
First, you call and actually reach a human being who can help you. We ask the right questions to understand your situation and give you a realistic timeframe for service—often the same day.
When our technician arrives, they’ll assess the problem thoroughly and explain exactly what’s wrong in plain English. You’ll get a clear, upfront price before any work begins. No surprises, no “additional discoveries” that mysteriously appear after we’ve started.
We complete the repair using quality parts and proven methods. Before we leave, we test everything to make sure it’s working properly and clean up our work area. You’ll get a follow-up call to ensure everything is still running smoothly.

Our plumbing repair services cover everything from emergency leak repairs to complete system overhauls. We handle water heater repairs and replacements, drain cleaning, pipe repairs, fixture installations, and sewer line services.
In the Sacramento area, we see specific issues that come with the territory. Hard water mineral buildup that clogs fixtures and reduces water pressure. Aging galvanized pipes that corrode from the inside out. Sewer lines compromised by tree root intrusion—especially common in our tree-lined neighborhoods.
We stock our trucks with the parts most commonly needed for Sacramento homes, so we can complete most repairs on the first visit. When replacement is necessary, we’ll explain your options clearly and help you choose the solution that makes the most sense for your home and budget.
We provide 24/7 emergency plumbing service and typically respond within hours, often the same day you call. Unlike larger companies that might make you wait several days for an appointment, we understand that plumbing emergencies can’t wait.
For urgent situations like burst pipes, water heater failures, or sewer backups, we prioritize these calls and dispatch our nearest available technician immediately. We’ll give you a realistic arrival time when you call and keep you updated if anything changes.
Our emergency service covers all of Fruitridge Pocket and the greater Sacramento area, ensuring you get professional help when you need it most—not when it’s convenient for us.
Low water pressure in Sacramento homes typically stems from mineral buildup due to our area’s moderately hard water. Over time, calcium and magnesium deposits accumulate inside pipes, fixtures, and water heaters, gradually restricting water flow.
In older homes built before the 1980s, corroded galvanized pipes are often the culprit. These pipes deteriorate from the inside, creating rough surfaces that catch debris and reduce the internal diameter available for water flow.
We start by testing water pressure at multiple fixtures to isolate the problem. Simple issues like clogged aerators can be cleaned on the spot. More complex problems involving main water lines or extensive pipe corrosion may require partial or complete repiping with modern materials like copper or PEX.
Several warning signs indicate water heater problems: fluctuating water temperatures, rusty or discolored water, strange noises like banging or popping, and visible leaks around the unit. In Sacramento’s hard water environment, sediment buildup accelerates these issues.
If your water heater is less than 8-10 years old, repair is usually the most cost-effective option. Common fixes include replacing heating elements, thermostats, or pressure relief valves. We can often complete these repairs the same day.
For units over 10 years old showing multiple symptoms, replacement typically makes more financial sense. We’ll inspect your current system, explain your options clearly, and help you choose between conventional tank or tankless systems based on your household’s needs and budget.
Stop using all water immediately—don’t flush toilets, run faucets, or use appliances that drain water. This prevents additional sewage from backing up into your home. If sewage is actively flowing, turn off your main water supply at the meter.
Sewer backups pose serious health risks, so avoid contact with contaminated water and keep children and pets away from affected areas. Don’t attempt to clear the blockage yourself with chemical drain cleaners, as these can worsen the problem and create dangerous fumes.
Call us immediately for emergency sewer service. We’ll locate the blockage using professional-grade equipment, clear the line safely, and identify the root cause—whether it’s tree roots, pipe damage, or municipal system issues. We handle the entire cleanup process according to health department guidelines.
Plumbing repair costs vary significantly based on the specific problem, but we always provide upfront pricing before starting any work. Simple repairs like fixing a leaky faucet or unclogging a drain typically range from $150-$300, while more complex issues involving water heaters or main line repairs can range from $500-$2,000.
We believe in transparent pricing with no hidden fees or surprise charges. When you call, we’ll discuss your situation and provide a realistic cost estimate over the phone. Our technician will give you an exact quote on-site before beginning any work.
Many customers are pleasantly surprised that our final bill comes in lower than the original estimate because we focus on fixing the actual problem efficiently rather than upselling unnecessary services or parts.
Yes, we stand behind all our repair work with a comprehensive service guarantee. If you’re not completely satisfied with the quality of our work, we’ll return to make it right at no additional charge. This isn’t just a promise—it’s how we’ve built our reputation in the Sacramento community.
Our guarantee covers both workmanship and the parts we install. If a repair fails due to our work or a defective part, we’ll fix it free of charge. We use quality materials and proven repair methods specifically because we back our work with this guarantee.
