We start with an honest assessment of what’s actually wrong with your toilet. No guesswork, no upselling—just straight answers about what needs to be fixed and what it’ll cost.
Our plumbers arrive with the most common parts already on the truck, so most repairs get completed the same day. We use advanced diagnostic tools, including sewer cameras when needed, to identify the root cause of recurring problems.

Sacramento’s older homes often present unique challenges. Many neighborhoods feature houses built in the 1950s and earlier, with original plumbing that requires special attention and expertise.
We handle everything from simple flapper replacements to complete toilet installations. Whether your toilet needs a minor repair or it’s time for a full replacement with a modern, water-efficient model, we’ve got the experience to do it right.
Our service area covers Sacramento, El Dorado Hills, Cameron Park, Placerville, and surrounding communities. We understand the specific plumbing challenges these areas face, from aging infrastructure to varying water pressure issues that affect toilet performance.
Toilet repair costs in Sacramento typically range from $225 to $391, depending on the specific issue and parts needed. Simple fixes like replacing a flapper valve cost around $60-$120, while more complex repairs involving the fill valve or flush mechanism can run $125-$450.
At Murray Plumbing, we provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees or surprise charges. We often waive diagnostic fees when you proceed with the repair, and as a local business with lower overhead, our rates stay competitive while maintaining the quality service Sacramento homeowners deserve.
The key is addressing problems early—that running toilet might seem minor, but it can waste 200 gallons of water daily and add over $1,000 to your annual water bill.
Most of our toilet repairs in Sacramento are completed the same day you call. We stock common replacement parts on our service vehicles, so we can handle the majority of toilet issues—running toilets, clogs, leaks, and flush problems—during the initial visit.
For more complex issues requiring special parts or extensive diagnostics, we’ll provide a clear timeline upfront. Even when parts need to be ordered, we can often implement temporary solutions to keep your toilet functional until the permanent repair is completed.
Emergency situations get priority scheduling. When you have a completely non-functional toilet or active flooding, we understand that can’t wait until tomorrow.
If your toilet requires frequent repairs, constantly clogs, or is over 20 years old, replacement often makes more financial sense. Older toilets use 3.5 to 6 gallons per flush compared to modern high-efficiency models that use just 1.28 gallons—the water savings alone can offset the replacement cost.
We recommend repair when the issue is isolated and the toilet is relatively new. Simple problems like worn flappers, faulty fill valves, or minor clogs are usually worth fixing. However, if you’re calling for toilet repairs more than twice a year, or if there are cracks in the bowl or tank, replacement becomes the smarter investment.
We’ll always give you honest advice about what makes the most sense for your situation and budget, never pushing unnecessary replacements.
A continuously running toilet is usually caused by a faulty flapper valve that isn’t sealing properly, allowing water to constantly flow from the tank into the bowl. This triggers the fill valve to keep refilling the tank, creating that annoying running sound.
Other common causes include a chain that’s too long or short, preventing the flapper from closing completely, or a warped flapper that’s lost its seal over time. Sometimes the fill valve itself is malfunctioning and needs adjustment or replacement.
This isn’t just a noise issue—it’s expensive. A running toilet can waste up to 200 gallons of water per day, significantly increasing your water bill. The good news is these repairs are typically straightforward and affordable when handled by an experienced plumber.
Frequent toilet clogs often indicate a deeper problem than just what’s visible in the bowl. In Sacramento’s older neighborhoods, we commonly find issues with the main sewer line, partial blockages in the drain pipe, or problems with the toilet’s flushing mechanism that prevent complete waste removal.
We use advanced diagnostic tools, including sewer cameras, to identify the root cause of recurring clogs. Sometimes it’s tree roots infiltrating the sewer line, sometimes it’s a partial blockage that plunging can’t reach, and sometimes the toilet itself needs adjustment or replacement.
Simply snaking the toilet repeatedly treats the symptom, not the cause. Our approach focuses on finding and fixing the underlying issue so you’re not dealing with the same problem every few weeks.
Absolutely. Many of Sacramento’s neighborhoods feature homes built in the 1950s and earlier, and we have extensive experience working with vintage plumbing systems that require special attention and expertise.
Older homes often have unique challenges: original cast iron drain pipes, unusual toilet configurations, or plumbing that doesn’t meet current codes. We understand these systems and know how to work within their limitations while bringing performance up to modern standards.
We also help homeowners navigate the balance between preserving the character of older homes and upgrading to more efficient, reliable plumbing fixtures. Whether it’s repairing original components or recommending compatible modern replacements, we ensure the solution fits both your home and your budget.
