Most importantly, you protect your home’s value and avoid the massive headache of water damage restoration that comes with putting off pipe repairs.
Murray Plumbing has been fixing pipes in East Sacramento’s historic neighborhoods for years. We understand the unique problems that come with homes built in the 1930s and 40s—corroded galvanized steel, clay sewer lines, and tree roots that love to invade your pipes.
Unlike the big companies that rush through jobs, we take time to diagnose the real problem. Our team knows which materials work best in East Sacramento’s soil conditions and how to work around the mature trees that make these neighborhoods so beautiful.
We’re locally owned, which means we’re here when you need us. Not some call center in another state—actual local plumbers who live and work in your community.
First, we inspect your pipes with camera equipment to see exactly what’s happening underground or behind your walls. No guessing, no unnecessary digging.
We explain what we found in plain English and give you upfront pricing before starting any work. If you have multiple options—repair versus replacement—we walk through the pros and cons of each.
Then we fix it right the first time using quality materials designed to last in East Sacramento’s conditions. We clean up completely and test everything to make sure your water pressure and flow are back to normal before we leave.

We handle everything from pinhole leaks in copper pipes to full repiping of galvanized steel systems. Slab leaks, sewer line repairs, and emergency pipe bursts—we’ve seen it all in East Sacramento’s older homes.
For homes in neighborhoods like Land Park and Curtis Park, we specialize in trenchless pipe repair that preserves your landscaping. Your mature trees and established gardens stay intact while we fix the pipes underneath.
We work with all pipe materials common in East Sacramento: copper, PVC, PEX, and even the older galvanized steel and clay pipes. Our truck stocks the parts needed for most repairs, so we can often complete your job the same day.
Age is the biggest factor. If your home was built before 1980 and still has original plumbing, you’re likely dealing with galvanized steel or clay pipes that are reaching the end of their lifespan.
Multiple leaks within a short time period usually signal system-wide problems. One leak might be a simple repair, but if you’re getting leaks in different areas, the pipes are probably corroding throughout the system.
We use camera inspections to show you exactly what’s happening inside your pipes. You’ll see the corrosion, root intrusion, or other damage, which helps you make an informed decision about repair versus replacement.
Tree roots are the biggest culprit. East Sacramento’s mature trees create beautiful neighborhoods, but their roots naturally seek out water sources like your sewer lines and water pipes.
The original pipe materials in homes from the 1930s and 40s weren’t designed to last 80+ years. Galvanized steel corrodes from the inside out, while clay sewer pipes become brittle and crack with ground settling.
Sacramento’s mineral-rich water also contributes to buildup inside pipes over time, reducing flow and eventually causing blockages. This is especially common in homes that haven’t updated their plumbing systems.
We offer 24/7 emergency service and typically respond within a few hours, often faster. For burst pipes or major leaks, we prioritize getting someone to your home immediately to stop the water damage.
Our emergency service includes temporary repairs to stop flooding, followed by permanent fixes once we’ve assessed the full scope of the problem. We carry common repair materials on our trucks, so many emergency repairs can be completed the same day.
For non-emergency repairs, we usually schedule service within 24-48 hours. We understand that even “minor” leaks can quickly become major problems in East Sacramento’s older homes.
Not necessarily. We use trenchless repair methods whenever possible, which means accessing your pipes through small entry points rather than digging long trenches across your property.
For sewer line repairs, we can often fix the problem by accessing the line through your home’s cleanout or by digging just one or two small holes. This preserves your landscaping, driveways, and sidewalks.
When traditional excavation is necessary, we work carefully around mature trees and established gardens. We also coordinate with you on the best access routes to minimize impact on your property’s most valuable features.
Simple repairs like fixing a single leak typically range from $200-$500, depending on the location and pipe material. More complex repairs involving multiple access points or difficult-to-reach pipes cost more.
Sewer line repairs vary widely based on the extent of damage and repair method. Trenchless repairs are often more cost-effective than traditional excavation when you factor in landscaping restoration costs.
We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you’ll know exactly what to expect. We also offer financing options for larger repairs, because we understand that major plumbing problems don’t always happen at convenient times financially.
Quality repairs using modern materials typically last 25-50 years, even in East Sacramento’s challenging conditions with tree roots and mineral-rich water. The key is using the right materials for your specific situation.
PEX and modern PVC pipes resist both root intrusion and mineral buildup better than older materials. For sewer repairs, we use materials specifically designed to handle root pressure and ground movement.
We warranty our repair work, and we use materials with manufacturer warranties. This gives you confidence that your investment will protect your home for decades, not just a few years.
