You wake up to strong water pressure in every faucet and shower. No more rusty water staining your sinks or affecting the taste of your morning coffee. Your home insurance stays valid, and you stop worrying about surprise leaks flooding your floors.
Modern pipes mean consistent water flow throughout your Auburn Lake Trails home. You can run the dishwasher while someone showers without losing pressure. Clean, clear water flows from every tap, and you sleep better knowing your plumbing won’t fail when you least expect it.
Your property value increases with updated plumbing that meets current codes. Future buyers see a well-maintained home, not a potential money pit with aging infrastructure.
We’ve served El Dorado County for over two decades, and we understand the unique challenges Auburn Lake Trails homeowners face. Many homes here were built in the 1980s and 1990s, and we’ve seen firsthand how plumbing systems from that era perform as they age.
We’re not the cheapest option in town, and that’s intentional. You’re investing in quality materials, experienced technicians, and service that lasts. Our customers often tell us the final cost came in lower than our initial estimate because we don’t pad our quotes with unnecessary work.
When you call Murray Plumbing, you get our team—not subcontractors. We show up on time, explain what we’re doing, and clean up when we’re finished.
First, we inspect your current plumbing system to identify problem areas and determine the best approach for your Auburn Lake Trails home. We use cameras when needed to see inside your pipes and give you a complete picture of what’s happening.
Next, we create a plan that minimizes disruption to your daily routine. We typically work in sections, so you’re never completely without water. Our team maps out the most efficient route for new pipes, often using existing pathways to reduce wall cutting.
Then we install your new plumbing system using quality materials like PEX or copper, depending on your needs and budget. We test everything thoroughly before calling the job complete. You get clean water, strong pressure, and the confidence that comes with a modern plumbing system.

Your repiping project includes complete removal of old, failing pipes and installation of modern materials designed to last decades. We handle all permits and inspections required in El Dorado County, so you don’t have to navigate the bureaucracy.
In Auburn Lake Trails, we see a lot of homes with original galvanized steel pipes that are now 30-40 years old. These pipes develop rust buildup that restricts water flow and can contaminate your water supply. We replace them with corrosion-resistant materials that maintain consistent pressure and water quality.
We also address any code violations we discover during the process. Auburn Lake Trails homes sometimes have plumbing modifications done over the years that don’t meet current standards. We bring everything up to code as part of your repipe, protecting your investment and ensuring your safety.
You’ll notice several warning signs when your pipes are ready for replacement. Low water pressure throughout your home, especially when multiple fixtures are running, indicates restricted flow from corroded pipes. Discolored or rusty water coming from your taps means the interior of your pipes is deteriorating.
Frequent leaks, even small ones, signal that your pipe walls are weakening. If your Auburn Lake Trails home was built in the 1980s or earlier and still has original plumbing, you’re approaching the end of your system’s useful life. Most galvanized steel pipes last 40-50 years before they need replacement.
Strange noises in your walls when water runs, or water that tastes metallic, also indicate aging pipes. The sooner you address these issues, the less likely you are to face emergency repairs or water damage.
PEX piping costs less upfront and installs faster because it’s flexible and requires fewer fittings. It resists freezing better than copper, which matters during Auburn Lake Trails’ occasional cold snaps. PEX also doesn’t corrode or develop mineral buildup like metal pipes can.
Copper piping costs more initially but lasts longer and some homeowners prefer it for aesthetic reasons. Copper has a proven track record spanning decades, and it naturally resists bacteria growth. It also handles high temperatures well and won’t be damaged by UV exposure if any sections are exposed.
For most Auburn Lake Trails homes, PEX offers the best value. It performs reliably, costs less, and installs with minimal disruption to your daily routine. We’ll recommend the best option based on your specific situation, budget, and long-term plans for your home.
Most Auburn Lake Trails homes take 2-4 days for complete repiping, depending on the size of your house and complexity of your plumbing layout. Single-story homes with accessible crawl spaces typically finish faster than multi-story homes where we need to access pipes inside walls.
We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your routine. You’ll have water service restored each evening, so you can shower, cook, and handle daily activities. We coordinate our work schedule around your needs when possible, especially if you work from home or have other considerations.
Weather rarely affects our timeline since most of our work happens inside your home or in protected crawl spaces. We give you a realistic schedule upfront and communicate any changes immediately. Our goal is to complete your project quickly without compromising quality.
Updated plumbing significantly increases your home’s marketability and value in Auburn Lake Trails. Buyers see new plumbing as a major advantage because they won’t face expensive repairs or water damage risks. Real estate agents often highlight updated plumbing as a key selling point.
You’ll typically recover 60-80% of your repiping investment when you sell, and your home will sell faster than comparable properties with aging plumbing. Buyers are willing to pay more for homes where major systems have been properly maintained and updated.
Beyond resale value, new plumbing reduces your ongoing maintenance costs and eliminates emergency repair expenses. You’ll also avoid potential water damage that could cost thousands to repair. Many Auburn Lake Trails homeowners find their home insurance rates improve after updating their plumbing systems.
Yes, we handle all permit applications and inspections required for repiping in El Dorado County. This includes coordinating with local building departments and scheduling required inspections at the appropriate stages of your project. You don’t need to navigate the permit process yourself.
We’re familiar with Auburn Lake Trails’ specific requirements and building codes. Our team knows what inspectors look for and ensures your project meets or exceeds all standards. This protects you from future issues and ensures your plumbing work is properly documented.
Getting proper permits protects your investment and ensures your insurance coverage remains valid. Some homeowners skip permits to save money, but this creates problems when selling your home or filing insurance claims. We do the job right the first time, including all necessary paperwork and approvals.
We start each day by setting up protective coverings and explaining what we’ll accomplish that day. Our team arrives on time and works efficiently to minimize noise and disruption. We’ll shut off water to specific areas while we work, but you’ll have service restored each evening.
Expect some dust and minor mess despite our best efforts to contain debris. We use plastic sheeting and drop cloths, but accessing pipes sometimes requires cutting into walls or ceilings. We clean up daily and handle all debris removal as part of our service.
You might hear drilling, cutting, or other construction sounds during working hours. We communicate throughout the process, letting you know when we’ll need access to different areas of your Auburn Lake Trails home. Most customers are surprised how smoothly the process goes when they work with experienced professionals who respect their property.
