Hear from Our Customers
You’re not waiting until Monday for a plumber when water is flooding your home. We respond to emergency calls in Grizzly Flats within hours, not days.
Our emergency plumbers arrive with fully stocked trucks and the tools to fix most problems on the spot. No coming back tomorrow for parts. No leaving you with a temporary patch that fails at midnight.
When we’re done, your plumbing works. Your floors are dry. And you can sleep without worrying about waking up to a flooded house.
Murray Plumbing has been solving plumbing emergencies in El Dorado County for over 24 years. We understand how mountain temperatures affect your pipes and why quick response matters when you’re miles from the nearest hardware store.
As a family-owned business serving Grizzly Flats, we keep our overhead low so emergency service doesn’t cost you a fortune. Our 5-star reputation comes from showing up when we say we will and fixing problems right the first time.
Living at 3,868 feet elevation means your plumbing faces challenges that city plumbers don’t understand. We do.
First, we answer the phone. Day or night, weekend or holiday. You talk to a real person who understands plumbing emergencies, not an answering service reading from a script.
Next, we ask the right questions to understand what’s happening and give you immediate steps to minimize damage while we’re on our way. Turn off your main water valve. Shut off electricity to affected areas. We’ll walk you through it.
Then we dispatch our nearest available plumber to your location in Grizzly Flats. Our trucks carry the parts and tools needed for most emergency repairs, so we can usually fix your problem during the first visit instead of scheduling a return trip.

Burst pipes are our specialty, especially the freeze-related breaks common in Grizzly Flats winters. We handle everything from pinhole leaks to major ruptures that flood basements.
Water heater failures get immediate attention because mountain homes can’t go without hot water. Whether your tank is leaking, making strange noises, or producing no hot water, we’ll diagnose and fix the problem.
Sewer backups and drain emergencies don’t wait for business hours. We use advanced camera technology to locate blockages and clear them completely, not just temporarily. Our hydro jetting equipment handles roots, grease, and debris that basic snakes can’t touch.
We typically respond to emergency calls in Grizzly Flats within 1-2 hours, depending on current call volume and weather conditions. Mountain roads can add travel time, especially during winter storms, but we prioritize getting to you as quickly and safely as possible.
Our emergency plumbers are strategically located throughout El Dorado County to minimize response times. When you call, we’ll give you an honest estimate of when to expect our arrival and keep you updated if conditions change.
Unlike larger companies that might make you wait until the next business day, we understand that plumbing emergencies in remote areas like Grizzly Flats can’t wait. Water damage happens fast at elevation, and we respond accordingly.
First, locate and shut off your main water valve to stop additional water from entering your plumbing system. This valve is usually near your water meter or where the main line enters your house. If you can’t find it, we’ll help you locate it over the phone.
Turn off electricity to any areas where water is present. Water and electricity don’t mix, and safety comes first. If you’re unsure which circuits to shut off, it’s safer to turn off power to the entire house temporarily.
Move valuable items away from the affected area and try to contain the water with towels or buckets if possible. Take photos of the damage for insurance purposes, but don’t attempt any repairs yourself. We’ll handle the fix when we arrive.
We believe plumbing emergencies shouldn’t cost you extra just because they happen at inconvenient times. Our emergency service rates are fair and transparent, with no surprise surcharges for nights, weekends, or holidays.
You’ll know the cost upfront before we start any work. We provide free estimates even for emergency calls, and our pricing includes the diagnostic work needed to identify the problem. No hidden fees or separate charges for showing up.
As a family-owned business with low overhead, we can keep emergency rates reasonable while still providing the fast, professional service you need when disaster strikes.
