You want your plumbing to work without thinking about it. No more low water pressure from corroded pipes. No more rust-colored water staining your fixtures. No more worrying about when that old galvanized line might finally give out and flood your home.
When we fix your pipes, you get reliable water flow at proper pressure. Your water runs clear and clean. You sleep better knowing your plumbing system can handle whatever you throw at it.
That peace of mind? It’s what happens when the job gets done right by people who know what they’re doing.
Murray Plumbing has been solving pipe problems for Rancho Cordova homeowners who need it done right. We’re the local team that shows up when we say we will and charges what we quote.
As a family-owned business, we keep our overhead low so we can offer fair pricing without cutting corners on quality. We’ve seen every type of pipe failure this area throws at us—from aging galvanized lines to those problematic Kitec systems that were installed in the 90s and early 2000s.
Rancho Cordova’s unique challenges, from hard water to ground settling, mean your pipes face specific stresses. We understand how local conditions affect your plumbing and plan our repairs accordingly.
First, we show up when we say we will—usually the same day you call. We use advanced diagnostic tools, including sewer cameras, to see exactly what’s happening inside your pipes. No guesswork, no unnecessary digging.
Once we know what we’re dealing with, we explain the problem in plain terms and give you a transparent quote. If it’s a simple repair, we fix it. If your pipes are beyond saving, we’ll discuss repiping options that make sense for your situation and budget.
For many jobs, we can use trenchless repair methods that fix your pipes without tearing up your yard or driveway. When we’re done, we clean up completely and make sure everything works exactly as it should.

Our pipe repair service covers everything from small leaks to complete system failures. We handle all pipe materials—copper, PEX, galvanized steel, and even those problematic Kitec systems that many Rancho Cordova homes still have.
Many older homes in our area still have galvanized pipes that are reaching the end of their 40-50 year lifespan. These pipes develop internal corrosion that reduces water pressure and can contaminate your water supply. We can replace sections or complete systems depending on what your home needs.
For homes with Kitec plumbing (common in houses built or remodeled between 1995-2007), we recommend proactive replacement before failure occurs. These systems are known for sudden bursts that can cause extensive water damage.
We also specialize in trenchless repair methods that fix underground pipes without destroying your landscaping, saving you thousands in restoration costs.
Several signs indicate your pipes need attention. Low water pressure throughout your home usually means internal corrosion has built up inside galvanized pipes, restricting water flow. Rust-colored or metallic-tasting water signals that your pipes are deteriorating from the inside out.
If you’re experiencing frequent leaks in different locations, your pipe system is likely failing and piecemeal repairs won’t solve the underlying problem. Multiple leaks often indicate the entire system is reaching the end of its useful life.
For homes built before the 1960s that haven’t been repiped, or homes with Kitec plumbing from the 1990s-2000s, proactive replacement is often the smartest financial decision. We’ll assess your specific situation and recommend the most cost-effective approach.
Traditional pipe repair requires digging trenches to access underground pipes, which means tearing up your yard, driveway, or landscaping. While effective, this method involves significant restoration costs after the plumbing work is complete.
Trenchless repair methods fix your pipes through small access points, avoiding extensive excavation. We can reline existing pipes or use pipe bursting techniques to install new pipes through the old ones. This approach typically costs less overall because you avoid landscape restoration expenses.
Trenchless methods work well for many situations, but aren’t suitable for every pipe problem. During our diagnostic assessment, we’ll determine which approach makes the most sense for your specific situation and explain the pros and cons of each option.
Pipe repair costs vary significantly based on the problem’s location, accessibility, and severity. Simple repairs might cost a few hundred dollars, while complex issues involving main water lines or extensive damage cost more.
For complete repiping, Sacramento area homes typically see costs between $5,000-$30,000 depending on home size, pipe material chosen, and job complexity. PEX repiping generally costs less than copper, while copper offers longer lifespan and durability.
We provide transparent, upfront pricing before any work begins. Many customers find our final costs come in under the original estimate because we work efficiently and don’t pad bills with unnecessary charges. We also offer financing options to help spread costs over time.
If your galvanized pipes are over 40 years old and showing signs of corrosion, complete replacement usually makes more financial sense than ongoing repairs. Galvanized pipes fail gradually, so fixing one section often means another will fail soon after.
Partial repairs can work if the problem is isolated and most of your system is still in good condition. However, if you’re dealing with low water pressure, discolored water, or frequent leaks, the internal corrosion has likely spread throughout your system.
Replacing galvanized pipes with modern materials like copper or PEX eliminates ongoing repair costs and dramatically improves water pressure and quality. We’ll assess your entire system and recommend the approach that saves you the most money long-term while solving your immediate problems.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency pipe repair services throughout Rancho Cordova. Pipe emergencies don’t wait for business hours, and neither do we. When you have a burst pipe flooding your home or a complete loss of water pressure, you need immediate help.
Our emergency response typically gets a technician to your property within hours, not days. We carry common repair materials and tools on our trucks, so many emergency repairs can be completed the same day you call.
For emergency calls, we focus first on stopping water damage and restoring basic function to your home. Once the immediate crisis is handled, we can discuss longer-term solutions if your pipes need more comprehensive attention. Our emergency rates are fair and transparent—no price gouging when you’re in a tough spot.
Pipe lifespan depends on material, water quality, and local conditions. Galvanized steel pipes typically last 40-50 years before internal corrosion becomes problematic. Most homes built before 1960 that haven’t been repiped are approaching or past this timeline.
Copper pipes can last 70-80 years under normal conditions, making them an excellent long-term investment. PEX piping is newer but expected to last 50+ years while being more resistant to freezing and easier to install.
Kitec pipes, unfortunately, have a much shorter lifespan—often failing within 10-15 years of installation. If your home has Kitec plumbing (common in 1990s-2000s construction), replacement should be a priority regardless of current condition.
Rancho Cordova’s hard water and occasional ground movement can accelerate pipe aging, which is why regular inspections help catch problems before they become expensive emergencies.
