Living in the College/Glen area means dealing with Sacramento’s unique plumbing challenges. Older homes with copper pipes under concrete slabs. Tree roots that find their way into sewer lines. Water heaters that struggle with our moderately hard water.
We handle it all. Burst pipe repairs, drain cleaning, water heater service, fixture replacements, and emergency leak repairs. Our technicians use advanced diagnostic equipment, including sewer inspection cameras, to pinpoint problems without guesswork.
Sacramento homeowners face specific issues like foundation shifts that crack underground pipes and sediment buildup from local water conditions. We know these problems because we’ve been fixing them for years. That local experience means faster diagnosis, better solutions, and repairs that account for the unique conditions in our area.
Plumbing repair costs in the College/Glen area typically range from $230 to $456 for standard leak repairs, with labor rates between $40 to $80 per hour. The final cost depends on the complexity of the repair, accessibility of the problem, and parts needed.
We provide upfront, transparent pricing before any work begins, so you’ll know exactly what to expect. Many of our customers are pleasantly surprised to find their final bill is actually less than the original estimate. Emergency service calls may include a service fee of $70 to $170 depending on the time of day, but we never charge overtime fees for nights, weekends, or holidays.
College/Glen homeowners frequently deal with pipe bursts and faucet leaks, especially in older homes with copper piping under concrete slabs. Foundation shifts common in our area can cause cracks that go unnoticed until they become major problems.
Water heater issues are also prevalent due to Sacramento’s moderately hard water, which causes sediment buildup faster than in other areas. Clogged sewers and drain backups are particularly common after heavy rainfall. Tree-lined streets in established neighborhoods often lead to root intrusion in sewer lines.
We also see frequent problems with low water pressure from clogged aerators and fixtures, running toilets that waste significant amounts of water, and hidden leaks that show up as unexpectedly high water bills.
Yes, Murray Plumbing offers 24/7 emergency plumbing repair throughout the College/Glen area. When pipes burst, water heaters fail, or sewage backs up, waiting until business hours isn’t an option.
Our emergency technicians respond quickly with fully stocked trucks to handle urgent situations like burst pipes that can flood your home within minutes, complete water heater failures that leave you without hot water, or backed-up toilets and drains that create health hazards.
We understand that plumbing emergencies are stressful and disruptive, so we prioritize clear communication about arrival times and what to expect. Emergency calls receive the same transparent pricing and professional service as scheduled appointments.
For non-emergency repairs, we typically offer same-day service throughout the College/Glen area, with most calls scheduled within a few hours of contact. Many customers are surprised to find we can often arrive the same day they call.
Emergency situations receive immediate priority, with response times typically within 1-2 hours depending on current call volume and your specific location. Our local presence in the Sacramento area means shorter travel times and faster response compared to companies based outside the region.
We always call ahead to confirm our arrival window and keep you updated if there are any delays. Our technicians carry the most commonly needed parts and tools, so the majority of repairs are completed during the initial visit without waiting for special orders.
First, locate your main water shut-off valve and turn off the water supply if you’re dealing with a burst pipe or major leak. This is usually located near your water meter or where the main line enters your home.
For toilet backups, stop using all drains and toilets in your home to prevent sewage from backing up further. If you smell gas near any plumbing appliances, leave the area immediately and call your gas company before calling us.
Move valuable items away from any flooding or leaking areas, and take photos for insurance purposes if safe to do so. Avoid using electrical appliances near standing water. Our emergency technicians will provide specific guidance over the phone based on your particular situation and can talk you through temporary measures to minimize damage until we arrive.
Simple issues like unclogging a single drain with a plunger or tightening a loose faucet handle are often manageable for homeowners. However, most plumbing problems in College/Glen homes require professional attention due to the complexity of local plumbing systems.
Call us for any issue involving water heaters, gas lines, sewer backups, multiple clogged drains, or leaks you can’t easily access. Problems with pipes under concrete slabs, which are common in our area, always require professional diagnosis and repair.
If you’ve attempted a DIY fix and the problem persists or gets worse, it’s time to call Murray Plumbing. What starts as a simple repair can quickly become expensive damage if not handled correctly. Our technicians can often resolve in an hour what might take a homeowner all weekend to attempt, and we guarantee the work is done safely and correctly.
