Murray Plumbing has been serving La Riviera and Sacramento County with professional plumbing services that homeowners actually trust. We understand the specific challenges that come with this area’s plumbing systems and water conditions.
Our team knows La Riviera’s neighborhoods, from the homes along the American River to the family-friendly streets throughout the community. We’ve worked on everything from older homes that need careful attention to newer properties requiring modern solutions.
What sets us apart isn’t complicated—we show up when we say we will, we explain what needs to be done before we do it, and we charge exactly what we quote. No surprises, no runaround, just professional plumbing service that gets the job done right.
First, you call us with your plumbing issue. We ask the right questions to understand what’s happening and schedule a time that works for you—often the same day for urgent problems.
Our plumber arrives on time with the tools and parts needed for most common repairs. We assess the situation, explain what we found, and give you a clear estimate before starting any work. No hidden fees or surprise charges.
Once you approve the work, we get started. We clean up after ourselves and test everything to make sure it’s working properly. Before we leave, we walk you through what we did and answer any questions you have about maintaining your plumbing system.

La Riviera’s location along the American River and Sacramento County’s water conditions create specific challenges for home plumbing systems. We understand these local factors and how they affect your pipes, fixtures, and water quality. This local knowledge helps us provide solutions that last longer and work better for your specific situation.
We provide 24/7 emergency plumbing service throughout La Riviera and typically respond within an hour for urgent situations. When you call with a burst pipe, backed-up sewer, or no hot water, we understand these problems can’t wait until business hours.
Our emergency service covers the entire La Riviera area, from homes near the American River to properties throughout Sacramento County. We keep our trucks stocked with common parts and tools so we can often complete repairs on the first visit rather than scheduling return trips.
Emergency calls do include additional charges, but we’re upfront about pricing before we start work. You’ll know exactly what the service will cost, and we won’t surprise you with hidden fees when the job is done.
First, check if the pilot light is lit (for gas water heaters) or if the circuit breaker has tripped (for electric units). If these basic checks don’t solve the problem, it’s time to call a professional plumber rather than attempting repairs yourself.
Water heaters contain components that can be dangerous to work on without proper training and tools. Gas connections, electrical wiring, and high-pressure systems require professional handling to avoid safety hazards or further damage to your system.
Most water heaters in La Riviera last 8-12 years depending on water quality and maintenance. If your unit is approaching this age and having problems, replacement might be more cost-effective than repeated repairs. We can assess your situation and help you decide whether repair or replacement makes more sense for your budget and needs.
We recommend annual plumbing inspections for most La Riviera homes, especially if your house is over 10 years old or you’ve never had a comprehensive plumbing evaluation. These inspections catch small problems before they become expensive emergencies.
During a plumbing inspection, we check water pressure, examine visible pipes for leaks or corrosion, test fixtures and drains, and assess your water heater’s condition. This proactive approach helps prevent the kind of surprise failures that cause water damage and disrupt your daily routine.
Homes with older plumbing systems, hard water conditions, or previous plumbing problems may benefit from more frequent inspections. We’ll recommend the right schedule based on your home’s specific conditions and your plumbing system’s age and condition.
Low water pressure throughout your entire house usually indicates a problem with your main water line, pressure regulator, or mineral buildup in your pipes. This is different from low pressure at just one fixture, which typically means a local blockage or faulty fixture.
Common causes include a failing pressure reducing valve, partially closed main shutoff valve, or mineral deposits restricting water flow through your pipes. In La Riviera, hard water conditions can accelerate mineral buildup that gradually reduces water pressure over time.
Don’t ignore whole-house low water pressure, as it can indicate serious problems with your plumbing system that will only get worse. We can diagnose the exact cause and recommend the most cost-effective solution, whether that’s valve replacement, pipe cleaning, or other repairs specific to your situation.
Recurring drain clogs usually mean the blockage is deeper in your pipes than household drain cleaners can reach, or there’s an underlying problem with your drain line’s slope or condition. Simply clearing the visible blockage doesn’t address the root cause.
Common culprits include tree roots infiltrating sewer lines, pipes that have shifted over time, or accumulated grease and debris that’s hardened beyond what chemical cleaners can dissolve. In La Riviera’s established neighborhoods, older drain lines sometimes develop problems that require professional attention.
We use specialized equipment like drain cameras to see exactly what’s causing recurring clogs and locate the problem precisely. This approach lets us provide a permanent solution rather than temporary fixes that leave you dealing with the same problem repeatedly.
Yes, we provide free estimates for most plumbing projects in La Riviera. This includes water heater replacement, fixture installation, pipe repair, and other planned plumbing work. We believe you should know exactly what a job will cost before committing to the work.
Our estimates include all labor, materials, and any permits required for the job. We explain what needs to be done and why, so you can make an informed decision about your plumbing repairs or upgrades without pressure or surprises.
Emergency service calls do include a diagnostic fee, but this fee is applied toward the cost of repairs if you choose to have us complete the work. We’re transparent about all costs upfront because we believe honest pricing builds trust and long-term relationships with our customers.
