Murray Plumbing has been handling sewer problems across Sacramento County for years, and we understand what makes Rancho Cordova different. Those beautiful mature trees that define your neighborhood? They’re also sending roots straight into sewer lines.
We’ve seen every type of sewer issue this area throws at homeowners—from root intrusions to aging clay pipes that can’t keep up with modern demands. We know which solutions work best for local soil conditions and which shortcuts will come back to haunt you later.
When you call us, you’re working with professionals who’ve built a 4.7-star reputation by showing up on time, diagnosing problems accurately, and fixing them right the first time.
First, we’ll inspect your sewer line with advanced camera technology to see exactly what’s happening underground. No guesswork, no assumptions—just clear visuals of the problem so we can recommend the best solution for your specific situation.
Next, we’ll explain your options in plain language and give you an upfront price. Whether it’s a targeted repair, trenchless lining, or full replacement, you’ll know exactly what to expect before we start any work.
Then we get to work using the right approach for your problem. If we can solve it with minimal disruption to your yard, we will. If it needs a more comprehensive solution, we’ll handle it efficiently and clean up completely when we’re done.

Our sewer services cover the full spectrum—from emergency clogs to complete line replacements. We handle hydro jetting for stubborn blockages, camera inspections to pinpoint problems, and trenchless repairs that save your landscaping.
For Rancho Cordova homeowners, we’re especially experienced with root intrusion issues. Those mature oak and maple trees that make your neighborhood beautiful can wreak havoc on underground pipes. We use specialized equipment to clear roots and, when necessary, install root-resistant solutions.
We also work with the area’s mixed infrastructure—some homes have newer PVC lines while others still have original clay or cast iron pipes from decades ago. Whatever your home’s setup, we have the tools and experience to handle it properly.
Several signs indicate sewer line problems: frequent backups, slow drains throughout the house, sewage odors in your yard, or patches of unusually green grass (indicating a leak). If you’re dealing with recurring clogs or multiple fixtures backing up at once, that usually points to a main line issue.
The age and condition of your line matter too. If your Rancho Cordova home is older and you’re experiencing repeated problems, replacement might be more cost-effective than ongoing repairs. We use camera inspection to show you exactly what’s happening underground, so you can make an informed decision based on the actual condition of your pipes.
Traditional repair involves digging a trench to access and replace your sewer line. It’s effective but means tearing up your yard, driveway, or landscaping, then restoring everything afterward. The total cost often includes significant restoration expenses.
Trenchless methods like pipe lining or pipe bursting let us repair or replace your line with minimal digging—usually just small access points. The work is faster, less disruptive, and often more cost-effective when you factor in restoration costs. However, not every situation is suitable for trenchless repair. We’ll assess your specific case and recommend the best approach.
Simple repairs like clearing a clog or fixing a small section can often be completed the same day. More extensive repairs might take 1-2 days, depending on the scope of work and access challenges.
Full line replacement varies based on length and method. Traditional excavation might take 2-3 days plus restoration time. Trenchless replacement is typically faster—often completed in a day or two with minimal cleanup needed. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you informed if anything changes during the work.
Tree roots are attracted to moisture and nutrients in sewer lines, so they’ll continue growing toward any source they can find. However, proper repair significantly reduces the problem. When we replace damaged sections, we use root-resistant materials and ensure proper sealing to eliminate entry points.
For ongoing prevention, we can install root barriers or recommend periodic maintenance treatments. We also advise on landscaping choices—keeping large trees away from sewer lines when possible. The key is addressing both the immediate damage and the conditions that allowed roots to enter in the first place.
Costs vary significantly based on the problem’s scope and repair method. Simple drain cleaning might cost a few hundred dollars, while major line replacement can range from several thousand to over ten thousand dollars, depending on length and complexity.
Trenchless repairs often cost more upfront but save money on restoration. Traditional excavation has lower material costs but higher total expenses when you include landscaping and hardscape restoration. We provide upfront pricing after diagnosing your specific situation, so you’ll know exactly what to expect before any work begins.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency sewer service because we know these problems don’t wait for convenient times. Sewer backups can cause significant property damage and health hazards, so quick response is critical.
When you call with an emergency, we’ll dispatch a technician as quickly as possible—often within hours. We come equipped to handle most emergency situations on the spot, whether that’s clearing a blockage, stopping a leak, or implementing temporary measures while planning permanent repairs. Emergency service rates apply for after-hours calls, but we’re always upfront about pricing before starting any work.
