Hear from Our Customers
No more sleepless nights wondering if that dripping sound means disaster. No more frantic calls to plumbers who can’t get to your mountain home until next week.
When we finish the job, your plumbing works the way it should. Hot water when you turn the handle. Drains that actually drain. Pipes that stay intact through another brutal Tahoe winter.
You get back to enjoying your mountain property instead of worrying about the next plumbing emergency. That’s what professional plumbing contractor service looks like.
Murray Plumbing isn’t another valley company that charges extra to drive up the mountain. We’re based right here in the Sunnyside-Tahoe City area because we understand what mountain plumbing actually requires.
We know how quickly a small leak becomes a flood when you’re dealing with freeze-thaw cycles. We’ve seen what happens to vacation homes when pipes aren’t properly winterized.
That’s why we keep our trucks stocked and ready 24/7. When your emergency call comes in, we’re already prepared with the parts and tools that mountain homes need most.
You call, we answer. Not an answering service, not a callback tomorrow morning. We pick up the phone and dispatch our nearest available plumber to your location.
Our trucks arrive fully stocked with the parts that mountain properties need most. We assess the situation, stop any immediate damage, and give you a clear explanation of what needs to be done before we start.
You get upfront pricing with no surprises. Once we complete the repair, we test everything thoroughly and clean up our work area. Your plumbing emergency becomes just another problem we solved.

Mountain properties face unique challenges that valley plumbers don’t understand. Altitude changes affect water pressure. Extreme temperature swings stress pipes beyond normal limits. Vacation homes sit empty for months, creating conditions most plumbers never encounter.
Our plumbing services cover everything from routine maintenance and plumbing inspections to emergency burst pipe repairs. We handle water heater installations, drain cleaning, leak detection, and complete plumbing system maintenance.
In Sunnyside-Tahoe City, we see the same issues every winter: frozen pipes in crawl spaces, burst lines in vacation rentals, and water heaters that fail when temperatures drop. We stock our trucks specifically for these mountain-specific challenges, so we can complete most repairs on the first visit.
We typically respond to emergency plumbing calls within 60-90 minutes, depending on your exact location and current weather conditions. Unlike many plumbing companies that have to drive up from the valley, our team is locally based in the Sunnyside-Tahoe City area.
We keep our service vehicles fully stocked and ready to go 24/7, so we can head directly to your property as soon as you call. During severe weather or peak season, response times may be slightly longer, but we’ll give you an accurate time estimate when you call and keep you updated if anything changes.
First, turn off your main water supply to prevent flooding if the pipe bursts. Then open the affected faucets to allow water to flow once the pipes thaw. Apply gentle heat using a hair dryer, heating pad, or warm towels to the frozen section if you can safely access it.
Never use open flames like torches, as they can damage pipes or cause fires. Don’t use devices that will cause the melted ice to boil, as that can also cause pipes to break. If you can’t locate the frozen section or can’t safely reach it, wait for our arrival rather than risk making the problem worse.
