Your pipes work. Your drains flow freely. Your water heater delivers hot water when you turn the handle. That’s what life looks like when your plumbing actually functions the way it should.
Most Lotus homeowners deal with the same frustrating cycle – a small leak turns into a bigger problem, a slow drain becomes completely blocked, or an aging water heater fails at the worst possible moment. You need a plumbing contractor who understands that these aren’t just mechanical issues, they’re disruptions to your daily routine.
When we finish a job, you get reliable plumbing that works consistently. No more wondering if that faucet will start dripping again next week or if your toilet will keep running all night. Just dependable systems that let you focus on what matters most to you.
Murray Plumbing has built a solid reputation serving Lotus homeowners through consistent, professional service. With a 4.7-star Google rating based on 93 reviews, we’ve earned trust in a community where recommendations matter.
What sets us apart is straightforward pricing and reliable scheduling. Customers frequently mention that final costs come in lower than estimates, and our technicians show up when promised. In a town of 623 residents, that kind of consistency builds lasting relationships.
Our approach works because we understand Lotus homeowners value honest communication and quality work. Whether it’s emergency plumbing maintenance or planned installations, we focus on solving problems correctly the first time rather than creating return customers through incomplete fixes.
Call, and you’ll speak with someone who gets that plumbing emergencies don’t wait for convenient times. We ask the right questions to understand your situation and dispatch a plumber equipped to handle your specific problem.
Our technician arrives, assesses what’s happening, and explains the issue in terms that make sense. You get an upfront estimate before work begins – no surprises, no hidden fees. This transparency has become standard practice because homeowners deserve to know what they’re paying for.
During repairs or installations, our focus stays on restoring reliable function to your plumbing system. Work areas get cleaned up, and you’ll understand what was done and how to prevent similar issues. The goal is getting your home back to normal without ongoing plumbing worries.

Murray Plumbing handles everything from emergency repairs to planned plumbing system maintenance for Lotus area homes. This comprehensive approach means one reliable plumbing contractor for all your needs, whether it’s a 3 AM burst pipe or scheduled fixture upgrades.
Our emergency service operates 24/7 because water damage doesn’t follow business hours. Regular plumbing maintenance prevents many emergencies by catching small problems before they flood your basement or back up your sewer line. Preventive service costs far less than emergency repairs.
Lotus homes built before 1990 often need updates to meet California’s current water efficiency standards. New regulations require low-flow fixtures and lead-free materials for any plumbing work. We stay current with these requirements, ensuring repairs and installations meet state codes while improving your home’s water conservation and safety.
Shut off your main water supply immediately to prevent further flooding. The shutoff valve is usually located near your water meter or where the main line enters your house, often in the front yard near the street.
Call Murray Plumbing’s 24/7 emergency line right away. Our emergency plumber service operates around the clock specifically for situations like burst pipes, sewer backups, or major leaks that can cause extensive property damage within hours.
While waiting, move valuables away from the affected area and take photos for insurance documentation. Don’t attempt major repairs yourself – California’s strict plumbing codes require licensed work for most repairs, and DIY fixes often make problems worse or create code violations that complicate insurance claims.
Basic plumbing maintenance like drain cleaning typically runs $100-200, while major repairs like water heater replacement or sewer line work can range from $800-3500 depending on complexity and materials required.
We provide detailed estimates before starting work, and customers often report final bills coming in under the quoted price. This upfront pricing approach eliminates surprise charges that plague many plumbing contractors.
Emergency calls carry premium pricing due to after-hours response, but preventing extensive water damage usually justifies the cost. For major plumbing system work, get multiple estimates from licensed contractors, remembering that the lowest bid often means corners will be cut on materials or workmanship.
Most plumbing work beyond simple repairs requires permits in California. Water heater installations, pipe replacements, bathroom remodels, and any work affecting your home’s plumbing system need proper permitting and inspection.
California enforces some of the nation’s strictest plumbing codes. All materials touching drinking water must contain less than 0.25% lead, and fixtures must meet water efficiency standards. Licensed plumbing contractors handle permits and ensure code compliance automatically.
Simple fixes like repairing leaky faucets or clearing clogged drains typically don’t need permits. However, unpermitted major work creates problems during home sales and may void insurance coverage if problems develop later. When in doubt, ask a licensed plumber about permit requirements.
Schedule annual plumbing inspections, especially for homes built before 1990. Many Lotus area homes have aging plumbing systems that benefit from preventive maintenance before small issues become expensive emergencies.
Keep drains clear by avoiding grease, hair, and foreign objects in sinks and toilets. Install mesh screens in shower and bathroom sink drains to catch debris. These simple steps prevent most clog-related service calls.
Watch for early warning signs like slow drains, reduced water pressure, or unusual pipe noises. These often indicate developing problems that cost much less to fix early than after they’ve caused significant damage. Regular plumbing maintenance catches these issues during routine service visits.
Verify licensing and insurance through California’s Contractors State License Board website. Only licensed contractors can legally perform most plumbing work, and insurance protects you if something goes wrong during repairs.
Look for strong local reviews and transparent pricing practices. Murray Plumbing’s 4.7-star Google rating from 93 customers reflects consistent satisfaction with both work quality and business practices. Good plumbers explain problems clearly and provide detailed estimates upfront.
Emergency availability matters for urgent issues like burst pipes or sewer backups. The best plumbing contractors offer 24/7 response and arrive equipped to handle common emergency repairs immediately rather than scheduling return visits for parts.
Hidden leaks, running toilets, or inefficient fixtures waste water continuously, often doubling monthly utility bills. A single running toilet can waste 200+ gallons daily, while small pipe leaks add up to hundreds of gallons monthly.
California’s water efficiency requirements actually help reduce bills long-term. Upgrading to compliant low-flow toilets, faucets, and showerheads can cut water usage by 30% compared to older fixtures while meeting state regulations.
Professional plumbing maintenance identifies water-wasting problems during routine inspections. Finding and fixing hidden leaks, adjusting running toilets, and upgrading inefficient fixtures typically pays for itself through lower monthly water bills within the first year.
