Hear from Our Customers
Your mornings start with strong, consistent water pressure in every faucet and shower. No more weak trickles that make simple tasks frustrating. No more discolored water or that metallic taste you’ve been ignoring.
The constant worry about pipe bursts and water damage disappears. You know your plumbing system can handle whatever you throw at it, whether it’s a busy morning routine or hosting guests at your mountain property.
Your home’s value increases, and you’ve got decades of reliable service ahead. When it’s time to sell, updated plumbing gives you a competitive edge instead of becoming a negotiation point that costs you money.
At Murray Plumbing, we understand the unique challenges Tahoe Vista properties face. Older homes with outdated systems, seasonal usage patterns, and hard water conditions require expertise that goes beyond standard plumbing knowledge.
We’ve been serving Northern California for over 24 years, building our reputation on transparent pricing and professional service. As a family-owned business, we keep our overhead low so we can offer fair pricing without sacrificing quality.
Our team has seen it all in mountain properties – from pipes that sit unused for months to vacation rentals that need systems capable of handling heavy usage during peak seasons. We know what works in Tahoe Vista’s climate and conditions.
We start with a thorough inspection using sewer camera technology to see exactly what’s happening inside your pipes. No guesswork – you’ll know the condition of your entire system and what needs attention.
Next, we map out the most efficient route for new pipes, minimizing wall damage and disruption to your property. Our flexible PEX piping can snake through existing walls without the extensive demolition that rigid materials require.
During installation, we work systematically to maintain water service to parts of your home whenever possible. We complete sections methodically, test everything thoroughly, and restore your walls to their original condition. You’ll have reliable water pressure throughout your entire home when we’re finished.

Your repiping service includes complete replacement of water supply lines with high-quality PEX or copper pipes designed for Tahoe Vista’s conditions. We handle everything from the main line connections to individual fixture hookups.
Mountain properties face unique challenges like mineral buildup from hard water and temperature fluctuations that stress older systems. We use materials and techniques proven to handle these conditions, ensuring your new system performs reliably year-round.
Each repipe includes pressure testing, fixture reconnection, and wall restoration. We clean up completely and walk you through your new system’s operation. You’ll understand what we’ve done and how to maintain optimal performance for decades to come.
Repiping costs in Tahoe Vista typically range from $4,000 to $15,000 depending on your home’s size, the number of fixtures, and pipe material choice. PEX repiping generally costs $4,000-$6,000 for a two-bathroom home, while copper runs $8,000-$10,000 for the same size.
The final cost depends on factors like accessibility of your current pipes, whether we need to work around vacation rental bookings, and the extent of wall repair needed. Mountain properties sometimes have unique challenges that affect pricing.
We provide free estimates with transparent, upfront pricing. You’ll know exactly what the project costs before we start, with no surprise charges or hidden fees during the work.
For most Tahoe Vista properties, PEX offers the best value and performance. It’s flexible enough to handle ground movement from freeze-thaw cycles, resistant to the mineral buildup common with mountain water sources, and costs significantly less than copper.
PEX also installs faster with less wall damage, which matters when you’re dealing with vacation rental schedules or want to minimize disruption. It has a projected lifespan of 100+ years compared to copper’s 50-year expectancy.
Copper makes sense for specific applications like outdoor connections or areas where fire resistance is crucial. We’ll evaluate your property’s unique needs and recommend the material that gives you the best long-term value and performance.
Most whole house repipes in Tahoe Vista take 3-5 days for an average-sized home with 2-3 bathrooms. Larger properties or those with complex layouts may take up to a week. The timeline depends on your home’s size, number of fixtures, and pipe accessibility.
We work systematically to maintain partial water service during the project whenever possible. For vacation rental properties, we can often coordinate around guest schedules to minimize booking disruptions.
Weather can occasionally affect timelines during winter months, but we plan for seasonal conditions and communicate any adjustments upfront. Our goal is completing quality work efficiently while respecting your property’s unique scheduling needs.
Discolored water is the most obvious sign – yellow, brown, or greenish tints indicate pipe corrosion that’s contaminating your water supply. You’ll also notice weak water pressure, especially when multiple fixtures run simultaneously.
Frequent leaks, even small ones, often signal system-wide deterioration rather than isolated problems. If your home is over 30 years old with original plumbing, it’s wise to have the system evaluated before major failures occur.
Mountain properties face additional stress from seasonal temperature changes and mineral-rich water. These conditions accelerate pipe degradation, so homes here often need repiping sooner than properties in other climates. A professional inspection can determine your system’s current condition.
Updated plumbing systems definitely increase your home’s marketability and can prevent value loss during negotiations. While repiping doesn’t add value like a kitchen remodel, outdated or problematic plumbing can force you to lower your asking price significantly.
In Tahoe Vista’s competitive real estate market, homes with modern plumbing systems have clear advantages over properties with aging infrastructure. Buyers expect functional plumbing and often negotiate aggressively when they discover old or failing systems.
The peace of mind factor is substantial too. You eliminate the risk of catastrophic pipe failures that could cause extensive water damage, and you won’t face ongoing repair costs for the next several decades.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency plumbing services when pipe failures threaten your property or disrupt essential services. Burst pipes, major leaks, and system failures get priority response, especially when they affect vacation rental bookings or create health hazards.
Emergency situations often require immediate temporary repairs followed by planned repiping work. We can stabilize your system quickly, then schedule comprehensive replacement at a time that works for your property’s needs.
For vacation rental emergencies, we understand timing is critical for your business. We’ve handled plenty of “guests arrive tomorrow” situations and know how to prioritize repairs that keep your property operational while planning permanent solutions.
