No more water pooling in your yard. No more sky-high water bills from hidden leaks. No more wondering if that small drip will turn into a flood while you’re at work.
When we finish a pipe repair job, you get reliable water pressure, clear drainage, and the confidence that comes from knowing the problem is actually solved. Not patched. Not temporarily fixed. Solved.
You’ll sleep better knowing your plumbing system is back to protecting your home instead of threatening it.
We’ve been serving Placerville families since 2009. We’re not the biggest plumbing company in town, but we’re the one that shows up when we say we will and charges what we quote.
Ryan Murray started this business after years as a construction superintendent, learning that most plumbing problems stem from shortcuts and quick fixes. That’s exactly what we don’t do.
We’re licensed, insured, and locally owned. When Placerville homeowners have a pipe emergency at 2 AM on a Sunday, we’re the ones who answer the phone and head out to help.
First, we show up fast. Usually within hours, not days. We use camera inspection equipment to see exactly what’s wrong with your pipes, so you’re not paying for guesswork.
We explain what we found, show you the problem if possible, and give you a clear estimate before we touch anything. No surprises, no upselling, no pressure.
Then we fix it right. Whether it’s a simple joint repair or a full section replacement, we use quality materials and proven techniques. We test everything before we leave and clean up after ourselves.
You’ll know the job is done when your water pressure is back to normal and you’re not worried about your pipes anymore.

Every pipe repair includes a thorough inspection to identify the root cause, not just the obvious symptom. We check water pressure, look for additional weak spots, and make sure your whole system is working properly.
Placerville’s older homes often have mixed piping systems – original galvanized lines connected to newer copper or PEX. We understand how these systems interact and what problems to watch for.
Our repairs come with clear explanations of what we did and why, plus guidance on maintaining your pipes to prevent future issues. We also provide warranty coverage on our work, so you’re protected if anything goes wrong.
We typically respond to emergency pipe repairs within 2-4 hours, including nights, weekends, and holidays. When you call our emergency line, you’re talking to us directly, not an answering service.
For burst pipes or major leaks causing water damage, we prioritize getting someone to your property as quickly as possible to stop the water and assess the situation. We carry common repair materials on our trucks so we can often complete simple repairs the same day.
If it’s not a true emergency, we usually schedule same-day or next-day service depending on our current workload and your availability.
We work with all the pipe materials commonly found in Placerville homes, including copper, PEX, galvanized steel, cast iron, and PVC. Many homes in our area have mixed systems where different materials were used during various renovations over the years.
Each material has its own repair techniques and compatible fittings. Galvanized pipes, common in older Placerville homes, often need section replacement rather than simple patching due to corrosion issues. Copper pipes might need soldered joints, while PEX can often be repaired with compression fittings.
We carry materials and tools for all these systems on our service trucks, so we’re prepared for whatever we find when we inspect your pipes.
Several factors determine whether repair or replacement makes more sense. If you’re dealing with a single leak in otherwise good piping, a targeted repair usually works well and costs much less than replacement.
However, if you have multiple leaks, recurring problems in the same area, or pipes that are nearing the end of their expected lifespan, replacement might be the smarter long-term investment. Galvanized pipes over 40 years old, for example, often have widespread corrosion that makes repairs temporary at best.
We use camera inspection when possible to show you the actual condition of your pipes, so you can make an informed decision based on what we actually find, not guesswork or sales pressure.
The most common pipe problems we see in Placerville are related to age, water pressure issues, and ground movement. Many homes have original galvanized pipes that are corroding from the inside out, causing leaks and reduced water flow.
High water pressure, which is common in our area due to elevation changes, can stress pipe joints and cause failures over time. We often find homes with pressure over 80 PSI, which is hard on plumbing systems.
Ground settling and tree root intrusion also cause problems, especially with sewer lines. Placerville’s clay soil expands and contracts with moisture changes, putting stress on underground pipes. Regular maintenance and pressure regulation can prevent many of these issues.
Yes, we warranty all our pipe repair work. The specific warranty period depends on the type of repair and materials used, but typically ranges from 1-2 years for most repairs.
Our warranty covers both materials and labor, so if something goes wrong with our repair work, we’ll come back and fix it at no charge. This doesn’t cover normal wear and tear or damage from external factors, but it does protect you if our repair fails.
We stand behind our work because we use quality materials and proven techniques. Most of our repairs last much longer than the warranty period, but having that protection gives you peace of mind.
Pipe repair costs vary significantly based on the location of the problem, type of repair needed, and materials involved. Simple repairs like fixing a joint or replacing a short section might cost a few hundred dollars, while more complex repairs involving hard-to-reach pipes can cost more.
We always provide upfront estimates before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’re paying before we begin. Our estimates include labor, materials, and any permits required for the job.
Emergency repairs typically cost more due to the urgency and after-hours service, but we’re upfront about emergency rates when you call. We’ve found that most pipe repairs cost less than homeowners expect, especially when caught early before they cause water damage.
