Residential Plumbing Services in Sacramento

Inviting a plumber into your home requires trust. McCray & Sons Home Services provides licensed residential plumbing repair and replacement throughout West Sacramento and select Sacramento neighborhoods with a calm, straightforward approach.

As a company holding both a California C36 Plumbing License and a B General Contractor License, we approach each project carefully, legally, and with long-term reliability in mind. Our goal is to provide practical solutions, clear communication, and workmanship that protects your home.

When we evaluate a plumbing issue, we explain what we’re seeing, outline your options, and provide clear pricing before any work begins. Some problems require simple repairs. Others require replacement. Our role is to help you understand the difference so you can make a confident decision.

Water Heater Replacement

A failing water heater can disrupt your entire household. At McCray & Sons, we prioritize water heater replacements to restore hot water as quickly as possible while ensuring the installation is completed properly and safely.

Our standard tank replacements typically include:

• New 40- or 50-gallon gas or electric water heater
• New supply lines
• Seismic strapping
• Expansion tank
• Replacement of the gas control valve
• Permit handling and inspection coordination

If venting adjustments, shut-off valve replacement, or other code-related corrections are required, we explain those items clearly before proceeding.

Before work begins, we review the scope with you and answer any questions so you understand exactly what is included.

Residential Plumbing Repairs

Not every plumbing issue requires a major overhaul. In many cases, it simply requires a careful assessment and a straightforward repair.

When you contact us, we schedule time to take a look and assess what’s going on. From there, we explain what we’re seeing and provide clear options.

Common residential plumbing issues we handle include:

• Shower valve repair and replacement

• Toilet resets, rebuilds, and upgrades

• Under-sink leaks and drain repairs

• Water appearing through ceilings or walls

• Water main repair and replacement

• Faucet and fixture installation

If related components such as older shut-off valves or supply lines need attention to prevent future leaks, we explain the situation clearly so you can decide how you would like to proceed.

In some situations, further evaluation may be required to determine the exact source of a leak, especially when water is appearing through ceilings or walls. When that happens, we guide you through the next steps so the issue can be addressed properly and efficiently.

How Scheduling and Estimates Work

When you contact McCray & Sons, you can call, text, or email and briefly explain what is going on. From there, we ask a few questions to better understand the situation.

In many cases, we are able to review photos and provide an estimate remotely. In other situations, an in-person evaluation is the best way to properly assess the scope of work.

After evaluating the problem, you will receive a clear written estimate outlining the recommended work. Estimates are sent by email and text with a simple approval option. No work is scheduled until you have reviewed and approved the estimate.

Once approved, our team coordinates a service date and confirms your appointment.

What to Expect on Service Day

On the day of service, your technician will review the approved scope of work with you and answer any remaining questions before beginning.

Work is completed according to the estimate and in compliance with current code requirements. If additional items are discovered that are necessary for safety or inspection approval, we explain the situation clearly and discuss next steps before proceeding.

Our work is performed carefully and respectfully, with attention to protecting your home and leaving the area clean.
