Hear from Our Customers
No more dealing with toilets that won’t flush, won’t stop running, or leak all over your bathroom floor. When we’re done, you get a toilet that works like it should—quietly, efficiently, and without any surprises on your water bill.
You won’t have to worry about calling us back next week for the same problem. We fix the root cause, not just the symptoms. That means no more middle-of-the-night toilet emergencies, no more embarrassing bathroom situations when guests come over, and no more wondering if that small leak is slowly damaging your floors.
Most of our Fair Oaks customers are surprised how quickly we can get their toilet working perfectly again. Usually it’s the same day you call, sometimes within a few hours.
We’ve been solving toilet problems in Fair Oaks since 2000. We know this area’s unique challenges—the clay soil that shifts and stresses pipes, the mature trees whose roots love to find sewer lines, and the older homes with plumbing systems that need special attention.
We’re not some big corporate chain that sends whoever’s available. When you call Murray Plumbing, you get experienced plumbers who actually live and work in this community. We’re BBB accredited, properly licensed, and our owner Ryan Murray personally stands behind every job.
Fair Oaks homeowners trust us because we show up when we say we will, charge what we quote, and explain exactly what’s wrong and how we’re fixing it. No surprises, no runaround, just honest plumbing service.
First, we listen to what’s happening with your toilet and schedule a time that works for you—often the same day. When we arrive, we’ll diagnose the problem and explain exactly what’s wrong in terms you can understand, not plumber jargon.
Before we start any work, you’ll get a clear, upfront price. No surprises, no hidden fees, no “diagnostic charges” that disappear if you hire us. What we quote is what you pay.
Then we fix it right. We carry the most common parts on our trucks, so we can usually complete your repair in one visit. After we’re done, we test everything thoroughly and clean up completely. You’ll know exactly what we did and why, plus we’ll give you tips to prevent the same problem from happening again.

We handle everything from simple flapper replacements to complete toilet installations. Running toilets, clogged toilets, leaky toilets, toilets that won’t flush properly—we’ve seen it all and fixed it all.
In Fair Oaks, where many homes date back to the 1970s and 1980s, we often work with original plumbing that needs special attention. We know which toilet brands hold up best in our local conditions, which parts fail first in older systems, and how to make repairs that will actually last in homes with shifting clay soil.
Whether it’s a quick fix like adjusting a chain or a bigger job like replacing a wax ring, we bring the right tools and parts to get your toilet working properly again. Most repairs are completed the same day, and we always clean up thoroughly when we’re done.
Most toilet repairs in Fair Oaks cost between $150 and $350, depending on what needs to be fixed. Simple repairs like replacing a flapper or fill valve are on the lower end, while more complex issues like replacing a wax ring or fixing a cracked tank cost more.
We always give you an upfront price before we start any work, so you know exactly what you’ll pay. No hidden fees, no surprises when we’re done. If the repair ends up being simpler than expected, you pay less—we’ve actually had customers pay less than our original estimate.
Emergency or after-hours service does cost more, but we try to work with your schedule to avoid those charges when possible.
Most of our Fair Oaks customers get same-day service, often within a few hours of calling. We keep common toilet parts on our trucks, so we can usually complete your repair in one visit without having to order parts or come back another day.
Simple repairs like fixing a running toilet or unclogging a drain typically take 30 minutes to an hour. More involved repairs like replacing a toilet or fixing a major leak might take 2-3 hours, but you’ll have a working toilet when we’re done.
We understand toilet problems can’t wait, especially if it’s your only bathroom. That’s why we prioritize quick response times and come prepared to fix the problem right away.
In Fair Oaks, we see a lot of toilet problems related to the area’s older homes and clay soil conditions. Running toilets are probably the most common—usually caused by worn flappers or fill valves that need replacement.
We also see frequent clogs, especially in homes with older, lower-flow toilets that don’t have enough flushing power. Wax ring failures are common too, particularly in homes where the clay soil has shifted over time and stressed the toilet’s connection to the floor.
Tree root intrusion into sewer lines is another issue we deal with regularly in Fair Oaks. Those beautiful mature trees can cause serious toilet and plumbing problems when their roots find their way into pipes.
Simple issues like a loose toilet seat or a stuck flapper you might be able to handle yourself. But most toilet problems are trickier than they look, and a mistake can turn a small repair into a big, expensive problem.
For example, over-tightening bolts can crack the toilet, and improper wax ring installation can cause leaks that damage your subfloor. What looks like a simple clog might actually be a sign of a more serious sewer line problem.
We’ve seen plenty of DIY repairs that ended up costing more to fix properly than the original problem would have cost. When in doubt, it’s usually cheaper and safer to call a professional plumber who knows what they’re doing.
Yes, we provide emergency toilet repair service in Fair Oaks. We understand that some toilet problems can’t wait—like when your only toilet is completely blocked or overflowing, or when you have a major leak that’s flooding your bathroom.
Emergency service does cost more than regular business hours, but we try to work with your schedule when possible to avoid those charges. We’re often able to provide same-day service during regular hours, which saves you money.
When you call, we’ll let you know if your situation truly needs emergency service or if it can wait until regular hours. We’re honest about what constitutes a real emergency versus something that can wait.
When done properly with quality parts, most toilet repairs should last several years. A new flapper should last 4-5 years, a fill valve should last 7-10 years, and a wax ring replacement should last the life of the toilet.
The key is using the right parts for Fair Oaks conditions and installing them correctly. Cheap parts might save money upfront but often fail quickly, especially in our area where clay soil movement and hard water can stress plumbing systems.
We use quality parts and install them properly, so our repairs last. We also give you tips on maintenance and what to watch for, so you can catch small problems before they become big ones.
