Hear from Our Customers
You’re dealing with water damage, rising bills, or pipes that keep acting up. The last thing you need is a plumber who patches things temporarily and disappears.
When we finish a pipe repair job, your water pressure is back to normal. Your bills stop climbing. The leak stains stop spreading across your ceiling or walls.
Most importantly, you stop worrying about when the next pipe emergency will hit. Because we fix the actual problem—not just the symptom you called about.
Murray Plumbing has been serving Citrus Heights homeowners with the kind of straightforward, professional service that actually solves problems. We’re the plumbers your neighbors call when they need work done right.
Our team knows Citrus Heights homes inside and out. We understand the common pipe issues in older neighborhoods and the specific challenges that come with the local water conditions.
When you call us, you’re getting licensed professionals who show up on time, explain what’s wrong in plain English, and give you an upfront price before any work begins.
First, we diagnose the real problem. Not just the leak you can see, but what’s causing it. We use cameras and pressure testing to find issues before they become emergencies.
Next, we explain your options clearly. Sometimes a simple repair works. Other times, replacing a section prevents bigger headaches down the road. We’ll tell you which approach makes sense for your situation and budget.
Then we get to work. We protect your home, complete the repair efficiently, and test everything thoroughly before we leave. You’ll know exactly what we did and why, so there are no questions later.

Every pipe repair job includes a thorough inspection to identify potential problems before they become expensive emergencies. We check water pressure, examine connections, and test for leaks throughout your system.
In Citrus Heights, we see a lot of issues with aging galvanized pipes and tree root intrusion—especially in the older neighborhoods near Auburn Boulevard and Greenback Lane. These problems require specific approaches that generic plumbers often miss.
Our repairs come with clear warranties and follow-up service. We use quality materials that match your existing system and local building codes. Most importantly, we clean up completely and explain how to maintain your new pipes properly.
Pipe repair costs in Citrus Heights typically range from $150 to $800, depending on the location, extent of damage, and type of pipe material. Simple fixes like replacing a leaking joint might cost $150-300, while more complex repairs involving wall or slab access can run $400-800.
The biggest factor in cost is accessibility. A pipe under your kitchen sink is straightforward. A pipe under your concrete foundation or inside a finished wall requires more time and materials.
We always provide upfront pricing before starting work, so you know exactly what you’ll pay. No diagnostic fees, no surprise charges after we start digging.
If you’re dealing with multiple leaks in different areas, or if your pipes are over 40 years old, replacement usually makes more financial sense than repeated repairs. One major repipe project costs less than several emergency repair calls over the next few years.
Galvanized pipes, common in Citrus Heights homes built before 1980, typically need replacement once they start showing signs of corrosion. The rust buildup reduces water pressure and creates weak spots that fail unpredictably.
We’ll inspect your entire system and give you honest advice about whether a repair will actually solve your problem long-term, or if you’re better off investing in new pipes that will last decades.
Watch for unexplained increases in your water bill, even when your usage hasn’t changed. A hidden leak can waste hundreds of gallons per month. You might also notice wet spots in your yard, water stains on walls or ceilings, or the sound of running water when all fixtures are turned off.
Low water pressure throughout the house often indicates a leak in your main line. Musty odors or mold growth can signal moisture from leaking pipes inside walls or under floors.
The most reliable way to find hidden leaks is with professional leak detection equipment. We use electronic listening devices and thermal cameras to locate leaks without tearing up your property unnecessarily.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency pipe repair services throughout Citrus Heights. Burst pipes, major leaks, and sewer backups can’t wait until business hours—they cause more damage every minute they’re not addressed.
Our emergency response includes temporary repairs to stop immediate damage, followed by permanent solutions once we can access proper materials and equipment. We carry common repair parts on our trucks to handle most emergency situations immediately.
Emergency calls do cost more than scheduled repairs, but we’re upfront about pricing even in crisis situations. Our goal is to stop the damage quickly and get your plumbing working safely until we can complete permanent repairs.
For most Citrus Heights homes, we recommend PEX or copper piping for replacements. PEX is flexible, resistant to freezing, and costs less to install than copper. It’s ideal for repiping projects because it requires fewer connections and can often be run through existing wall cavities.
Copper pipes last longer and handle high temperatures better, making them perfect for hot water lines and areas where durability is critical. They’re more expensive upfront but can last 50+ years with proper installation.
We don’t recommend PVC for indoor water lines, though it works fine for drain and vent systems. The choice depends on your budget, home layout, and long-term plans. We’ll explain the pros and cons of each option for your specific situation.
Simple repairs like fixing a leaking joint or replacing a short section of exposed pipe usually take 1-3 hours. More complex jobs involving wall or floor access can take 4-8 hours, depending on how much demolition and restoration work is needed.
Slab leaks and main line repairs often require a full day, especially if we need to coordinate with the city for water shutoffs or permits. We always give you a realistic time estimate before starting work.
Weather, permit requirements, and parts availability can affect timing, but we keep you informed throughout the process. Most emergency repairs can be completed the same day, even if permanent restoration work needs to be scheduled separately.
