When your pipes work correctly, your life gets simpler. No more wondering if that dripping sound means trouble. No more watching water pressure drop to a trickle during your morning shower. No more emergency calls to shut off water at 2 AM.
Proper pipe repair means consistent water pressure throughout your home. It means pipes that last decades instead of failing every few years. Most importantly, it means peace of mind knowing your plumbing won’t surprise you with expensive emergencies.
The difference between a quick patch and professional pipe repair shows up in your monthly water bills, your home’s value, and how often you need to call a plumber.
We’ve been fixing pipes in the Rocklin area for years, and we’ve seen what works and what doesn’t. We know the common issues with aging galvanized pipes in older Rocklin neighborhoods. We understand how newer developments deal with high water pressure problems.
Our experience with local soil conditions, seasonal ground movement, and the specific challenges Rocklin homes face means we can diagnose problems faster and fix them right the first time. We’ve built relationships with homeowners throughout Rocklin by showing up when we say we will and charging exactly what we quote.
When you call Murray Plumbing, you’re working with plumbers who understand your neighborhood’s specific pipe challenges and have the tools and expertise to handle them properly.
First, we diagnose the actual problem. Not just the symptom you called about, but what’s really causing it. We use camera inspection when needed to see inside your pipes and identify issues you can’t see from the surface.
Next, we explain what we found and give you options. Sometimes a simple repair handles the issue. Other times, replacing a section prevents bigger problems down the road. We’ll tell you the difference and let you decide what makes sense for your situation and budget.
Then we get to work. We use quality materials and proven techniques that last. PEX piping for flexibility and durability. Proper fittings that won’t fail in two years. Clean work that doesn’t leave your home looking like a construction zone.
Finally, we test everything to make sure it works correctly and clean up after ourselves. You get pipes that work properly and a home that looks the same as when we arrived.

Our pipe repair and replacement services handle everything from small leaks to complete repiping projects. We work with copper, PEX, and other modern materials that suit Rocklin’s specific conditions and building requirements.
For Rocklin homes, we often see issues with galvanized pipes installed decades ago that are finally reaching their limit. These pipes develop rust, scale buildup, and pinhole leaks that reduce water pressure and quality. We can replace problem sections or handle complete repiping when it makes more financial sense.
We also specialize in trenchless pipe repair for underground issues. This means fixing sewer lines and main water lines without tearing up your landscaping or driveway. For Rocklin homeowners, this approach saves money on restoration costs and gets your plumbing working faster.
Every job includes proper permits when required, quality materials, and warranty coverage on our work. You get transparent pricing upfront, so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start.
Several signs indicate pipe problems that need professional attention. Low water pressure throughout your home usually means pipe corrosion or blockages. Discolored water, especially rust-colored or brown water, indicates aging galvanized pipes that are deteriorating from the inside.
Frequent leaks in different areas suggest your pipes are reaching the end of their lifespan. If you’re dealing with multiple pipe issues within a short timeframe, replacement often costs less than ongoing repairs. High water bills without increased usage can indicate hidden leaks that waste thousands of gallons.
For Rocklin homes built before 1980, galvanized pipes are common and typically need replacement after 40-50 years. We can inspect your system and give you honest advice about repair versus replacement based on your specific situation.
Pipe repair addresses specific problems like leaks, clogs, or damaged sections. We might replace a few feet of pipe, fix a joint, or patch a small leak. This works well when most of your plumbing system is in good condition.
Repiping means replacing all or most of your home’s water supply pipes. This makes sense when multiple pipes are failing, when you have outdated materials like galvanized steel, or when repair costs add up to more than replacement costs. Complete repiping typically costs between $5,000-$15,000 for most Rocklin homes.
The decision depends on your pipes’ age, material, and overall condition. We’ll inspect your system and explain which approach makes the most financial sense for your situation. Sometimes spending more upfront on repiping saves money long-term by preventing ongoing repair calls.
Simple pipe repairs like fixing a leak or replacing a short section typically take 2-4 hours. More complex repairs involving multiple locations or hard-to-reach pipes can take a full day. Emergency repairs get prioritized and we often complete them the same day you call.
Complete repiping projects take 2-5 days depending on your home’s size and layout. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine. Most of the time, you’ll have water service restored each evening, so you’re not without water overnight.
Weather and permit requirements can affect timing. Rocklin’s building department typically processes plumbing permits quickly, but we factor this into our scheduling. We’ll give you realistic timeframes upfront and keep you updated if anything changes during the project.
PEX piping works exceptionally well for Rocklin homes. It’s flexible, resistant to scale buildup, and handles temperature changes better than rigid materials. PEX costs less than copper and installs faster, which reduces labor costs. It’s also less likely to burst if pipes freeze during Rocklin’s occasional cold snaps.
Copper pipes remain a premium choice for durability and longevity. They resist corrosion well and add value to your home. Copper costs more upfront but can last 50+ years with proper installation. Many Rocklin homeowners choose copper for main lines and PEX for branch lines to balance cost and performance.
We avoid galvanized steel for new installations since it corrodes over time and reduces water pressure. Cast iron works for sewer lines but modern materials like PVC offer better long-term performance. We’ll recommend materials based on your specific needs, budget, and local building requirements.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency pipe repair service throughout Rocklin. Burst pipes, major leaks, and sewer backups can’t wait for regular business hours. We understand that pipe emergencies cause water damage quickly and disrupt your family’s routine.
Our emergency service includes temporary repairs to stop immediate damage, followed by permanent solutions once we can properly assess the situation. We carry common repair materials and tools to handle most emergency situations on the first visit. For complex problems, we’ll stabilize the situation and return with specialized equipment.
Emergency service rates apply for after-hours calls, but we provide upfront pricing so you know the cost before we start work. We believe emergency situations are stressful enough without surprise charges. Most emergency pipe repairs in Rocklin homes can be completed within a few hours of our arrival.
Pipe repair costs depend on the problem’s location, complexity, and materials needed. Simple repairs like fixing a small leak typically cost $150-$400. Replacing a section of pipe ranges from $200-$600 depending on length and accessibility. More extensive repairs involving multiple locations or hard-to-reach pipes cost more.
Complete repiping projects in Rocklin typically range from $5,000-$15,000 for most homes. Factors affecting cost include your home’s size, number of fixtures, pipe material choice, and accessibility. PEX repiping costs less than copper, and homes with easy pipe access cost less than homes requiring wall or floor opening.
We provide detailed estimates before starting work, so you understand exactly what you’re paying for. Our pricing includes materials, labor, permits when required, and cleanup. We don’t charge diagnostic fees – if you hire us for the repair, the inspection cost is included in the total price.
