Hear from Our Customers
No more listening to that toilet run all night, watching your water bill climb. No more standing in ankle-deep shower water because your drain won’t clear. No more cold showers because your water heater decided to quit.
You call, we come out the same day. We fix it properly using the right tools and quality parts. Your water flows like it should, your drains empty completely, and your water heater delivers hot water every time you need it.
Most importantly, you stop worrying about when the next plumbing disaster will hit. Because when you know who to call and trust we’ll handle it right, plumbing problems become minor inconveniences instead of major headaches.
Murray Plumbing serves Herald as your neighbor, not some big company from three counties over. We’re family-owned, locally operated, and we understand exactly what Herald homeowners deal with.
Your older home’s galvanized pipes? We’ve replaced hundreds of them. That slab leak you’re worried about? California’s shifting soil keeps us busy with those. Tree roots clogging your sewer line? We’ve got the camera equipment and hydro jetting tools to handle it properly.
We’ve built our 5-star reputation one satisfied Herald customer at a time. When we quote you a price, that’s what you pay. When we say we’ll be there Tuesday morning, we show up Tuesday morning. It’s straightforward business built on doing what we say we’ll do.
You call with a problem, we answer the phone ourselves. Not a call center, not an answering service. A real plumber who can often give you immediate advice if it’s urgent.
We schedule a convenient time and show up prepared. Our trucks carry the parts and tools needed for most Herald plumbing repairs. We use diagnostic equipment like sewer cameras when needed, so you see exactly what’s wrong instead of getting a vague explanation.
Before any work starts, you get a clear, written estimate. No hidden fees, no “additional charges we discovered.” The price we quote includes everything needed to fix your problem properly. Once you approve it, we get to work and clean up after ourselves when we’re done.

We handle the plumbing repairs that keep Herald homeowners up at night. Sewer line backups from tree root intrusion get cleared with professional hydro jetting equipment. Low water pressure issues get diagnosed properly – whether it’s mineral buildup, pipe corrosion, or something more serious.
Slab leaks are a real concern in California, and we use specialized leak detection equipment to pinpoint problems without tearing up your floors unnecessarily. Water heater failures don’t wait for business hours, so we stock replacement parts and can often complete repairs the same day you call.
The everyday stuff matters too. Clogged drains, running toilets, leaky faucets, and garbage disposal problems all get handled quickly and affordably. We also provide emergency plumbing services for those situations that can’t wait – burst pipes, major leaks, and sewer backups that need immediate attention.
We typically arrive within a few hours for Herald emergency calls, often the same day you contact us. For serious emergencies like burst pipes or sewer backups, we prioritize these calls and can usually get there even faster.
Herald’s size works in your favor here. We can reach you much quicker than larger companies that cover huge service areas. We keep our emergency response trucks fully stocked with common repair parts and professional-grade equipment, so most urgent repairs get completed on the first visit.
True plumbing emergencies don’t follow business hours, which is why we offer 24/7 emergency service. Whether it’s a Saturday night pipe burst or a Monday morning water heater failure, we’re available when you need us most. No waiting until the next business day while water damage gets worse.
Sewer line blockages top the list, usually caused by tree roots growing into aging pipes. Herald’s mature trees are beautiful, but their roots seek out water sources and can completely clog sewer lines. We use sewer camera inspections to show you exactly what’s happening and hydro jetting to clear blockages thoroughly.
Water pressure problems affect many Herald homes, especially those with original galvanized steel pipes installed decades ago. These pipes develop internal corrosion and mineral buildup that restricts water flow. Sometimes cleaning aerators helps, but often pipe replacement is the long-term solution.
Slab leaks are another concern due to California’s soil conditions and seismic activity. These hidden leaks can cause serious foundation damage if not detected quickly. We use electronic leak detection equipment to locate problems without unnecessary excavation or damage to your property.
Absolutely. Every plumbing repair gets a detailed, written estimate before any work begins. You’ll know exactly what the repair costs, what parts are needed, and why the work is necessary. No hidden fees, no surprise charges, no “additional problems we discovered” that suddenly double your bill.
Our estimates include a complete diagnosis of the problem using professional diagnostic tools when needed. If we find multiple ways to solve your plumbing issue, we’ll explain each option with honest pros and cons so you can make the best decision for your situation and budget.
The price we quote is the price you pay. Period. We’ve built our 5-star reputation in Herald by being completely transparent about costs upfront. You shouldn’t have to worry about surprise bills when you’re already dealing with a plumbing problem.
We handle everything from basic faucet repairs to complete sewer line replacements. Our focus on residential plumbing means we’re equipped for the full range of problems Herald homeowners face, whether it’s a simple toilet adjustment or a complex water heater installation.
For major work like whole-house repiping or sewer line replacement, we use the same thorough approach as smaller repairs. You get detailed estimates, quality materials, and professional installation with proper permits and inspections. We don’t subcontract major work to unknown crews – our experienced plumbers handle everything personally.
Small repairs get the same attention to quality as major projects. A leaky faucet repair gets quality parts and proper installation, not a quick patch that’ll fail in six months. Whether you need a $50 toilet repair or a $5,000 sewer replacement, you get the same honest service and fair pricing.
For major leaks, locate and turn off your main water shutoff valve immediately. It’s usually near where the water line enters your house or by the street meter. Don’t wait to see if the leak stops on its own – water damage happens fast and gets expensive quickly.
If you have a sewer backup, stop using all drains and toilets immediately. Don’t try to flush the problem away or use chemical drain cleaners, which can make blockages worse and create dangerous conditions. Move valuables away from affected areas and avoid contact with contaminated water.
Call us right away, even if it’s after hours. We provide 24/7 emergency service because plumbing disasters don’t wait for convenient times. While you’re waiting for us to arrive, document the damage with photos for insurance purposes if needed. We’ll handle the rest when we get there.
Call us for anything involving your main water line, sewer connections, gas lines, or electrical components. These systems require specialized tools and expertise to repair safely. Herald’s older homes often have unique plumbing configurations that aren’t covered in DIY guides.
If you’re seeing water backing up in multiple drains, sewage odors, no hot water, or visible leaks you can’t stop, these indicate problems that need professional diagnosis. Attempting complex repairs yourself often makes the situation worse and more expensive to fix properly.
Simple tasks like unclogging a single drain or adjusting a toilet float might be DIY-friendly, but when in doubt, call us for a free assessment. We’ve repaired too many “simple” problems that became major projects after well-intentioned DIY attempts. Sometimes a quick professional evaluation can save you significant time, money, and frustration.
