You get your water pressure back. Your drains flow like they should. Your water heater stops making those weird noises and actually heats water efficiently.

Murray Plumbing has been serving Northern California’s mountain communities with the kind of plumbing expertise that actually understands what you’re dealing with. Hard water that clogs your pipes. Well systems that depend on power. Older homes that need careful handling.

Complete plumbing system inspections that catch problems before they become disasters. Professional drain cleaning that actually removes the blockage instead of just pushing it further down. Water heater service that extends the life of your equipment and keeps your hot water reliable.

In Grizzly Flats, where many homes were rebuilt after the 2021 Caldor Fire, we understand both newer plumbing systems and the challenges of older mountain homes. Whether you’re dealing with hard water mineral buildup or need reliable service for your well water system, we’ve got the experience to handle it right.
We offer 24/7 emergency plumbing service and typically respond the same day, often within a few hours of your call. Mountain communities like Grizzly Flats can’t wait for plumbing problems – a burst pipe or failed water heater needs immediate attention.
Our emergency response covers everything from major leaks and sewer backups to water heater failures and frozen pipes. We keep our service vehicles stocked with common parts so we can often complete repairs during the first visit instead of making you wait for a return trip.
Hard water mineral buildup is probably the biggest issue we see, causing reduced water pressure, clogged pipes, and premature appliance failure. The high mineral content in mountain well water creates scale deposits that restrict flow and damage fixtures over time.
We also handle a lot of issues with older pipe materials – galvanized steel and cast iron that’s corroding and developing leaks. Many homes rebuilt after the Caldor Fire have newer systems, but older properties often need pipe replacement or major repairs. Well pump problems are common too, especially when power outages affect the electrical systems that run your water supply.
Yes, we provide free estimates for all plumbing work. As a family-owned business with low overhead, we can offer competitive pricing without the diagnostic fees that some larger companies charge.
When we come out to look at your plumbing problem, we’ll explain exactly what needs to be fixed, what it will cost, and how long it will take. You get a clear, upfront price before any work begins. No surprises, no additional charges that weren’t discussed, no pressure to make an immediate decision.
Absolutely. We work extensively with well water systems, including pump repairs, pressure tank service, and the specialized plumbing that connects your well to your home’s water supply. Rural mountain properties have unique challenges that require specific expertise.
We understand how well pumps work, what causes pressure problems, and how to maintain the systems that bring water from your well to your house. Whether you’re dealing with low water pressure, pump cycling issues, or need a complete system inspection, we have the experience to diagnose and fix well water plumbing properly.
Turn off your main water supply immediately to prevent burst pipes when they thaw. Don’t use open flames or high heat to thaw pipes – this can cause dangerous accidents or damage your plumbing. Call us right away for emergency service.
Mountain winters can be hard on plumbing, especially in older homes or areas where pipes run through unheated spaces. We can safely thaw frozen pipes and inspect your system for damage. More importantly, we can identify vulnerable areas and recommend pipe insulation or other preventive measures to avoid future freezing problems.
Hard water requires proactive plumbing maintenance to prevent mineral buildup from damaging your system. We recommend regular drain cleaning to remove scale deposits, water heater flushing to prevent sediment accumulation, and periodic inspection of fixtures and appliances.
For severe hard water problems, we can discuss water softening solutions or point-of-use filtration systems. The key is staying ahead of mineral buildup before it restricts water flow or damages expensive appliances. Regular plumbing maintenance in hard water areas isn’t optional – it’s essential for keeping your system working properly and avoiding costly repairs.
