Your Murray plumber, on call day and night.
Stinson Plumbing runs US-641 south into Murray every single day. We're a family crew based about twenty minutes up the road in Benton — close enough to answer fast, licensed to do it right.
Close to home, and we pick up.
Murray has never had a shortage of plumbing problems. Old pipes downtown. Rentals near campus that turn over every August. Lake houses that sit empty half the year. What it needs is a plumber who actually shows up when the water is where it shouldn't be.
That's the whole job for us. We keep trucks moving through Calloway County daily. A Murray call is a short run down 641 — not a two-hour wait from somewhere across the region. Licensed, insured, and used to western Kentucky houses.
A burst line at 2 a.m. or a water heater out on a Sunday gets a real person on the phone and a truck on the way. No answering service that calls you back Monday.

Plumbing services in Murray, KY.
Repairs, replacements and full installs — for homes, rentals, lake properties and businesses across Calloway County.
Water Heaters
Tank and tankless, repaired or replaced. No hot water in a cold-snap week is the call we get most — we carry common units and swap them same-day when we can.
Drain Cleaning & Sewer
Slow drains, backups and full sewer-line replacement. We camera the line first so you know whether it's a clog near the trap or roots out in the yard.
Water Lines & Repipe
Leaks, low pressure, frozen splits and main-line runs. Older Murray homes on galvanized pipe get a straight answer on repair versus repipe.
Septic & Sewer Systems
Most homes outside the city limits run on septic. We install and repair systems, then coordinate with the county on what needs a permit.
Marine & Lake-Home Plumbing
Kentucky Lake work is its own trade. Dock lines, lake-house systems and seasonal winterizing so nothing splits while the place sits empty.
Remodels & New Construction
Kitchen and bath rough-in, fixture upgrades and full new-build plumbing, planned around your schedule and inspection dates.
Rentals, old houses and August turnover.
A college town runs on rental property, and rentals run hard. Water heaters that were old when the last tenants moved in. Garbage disposals fed things they shouldn't have been. Tubs that drain slower every semester.
We work with Murray landlords and homeowners on the quick turnarounds a rental needs. A water heater swapped between leases. A clogged main cleared before move-in weekend. Much of the housing near Murray State is decades old. We're honest about when a patch will hold and when the pipe is just done.
One number for every property. We know the older neighborhoods off 15th and Main, and the plumbing quirks that come with houses built for a very different era.
Heading south for the winter? We'll drain and winterize the lake place so a hard January freeze doesn't crack a line while nobody's watching.
Dock water lines and boat systems are a different animal than house plumbing. It's work we actually do — not many plumbers around here can say that.
Lake homes on the Calloway shore.
The east side of Calloway County runs right up against Kentucky Lake, out toward New Concord and the Blood River arm. Second homes, weekend places and full-time lake living all share the same headache: plumbing that has to survive months of nobody being there.
We handle the whole cycle. Open the place up in spring, keep it running through boating season, then shut it down clean before the cold. And because we're a Benton crew, the lake is our backyard too.
Wells, septic and hard water.
Drive past the Murray city limits and the plumbing changes. Private wells instead of city water. Septic fields instead of sewer. Western Kentucky groundwater that runs hard, and sometimes carries enough iron to stain a sink orange.
We handle the plumbing side of country living — pressure tanks, water lines and the fixtures a well feeds. We also do the septic and drain work that keeps a rural home running. If your water tastes like a penny or leaves rust rings, we can point you toward the right treatment fix.
When a cold front drops us into the teens, unheated crawlspaces and well houses freeze first. Keep our number handy — and if a pipe does burst, shut off the main and call. We run emergency routes all winter.
Hard water is rough on heaters.
The water heater is the call we get more than any other, and western Kentucky water is part of why. Hard, mineral-heavy water lays down sediment in the tank. That sediment bakes onto the bottom, steals efficiency and shortens the heater's life by years.
A few signs it's near the end. Rusty or cloudy hot water. Popping and rumbling from the tank. Never quite enough hot water to finish a shower. Catch it early and a planned swap beats a cold, leaking mess on a Sunday.
Going tankless? It can be a smart move in a smaller Murray home or a rental, where endless hot water and a freed-up closet both count. We'll give you the honest math on tank versus tankless for your house, not a sales pitch.
On hard water, draining a few gallons of sediment out of the tank once a year buys you real extra life. Ask us to show you how.
We carry the common sizes on the truck, so a dead heater often gets replaced the same visit — not next week.
Plumbing that keeps the doors open.
A plumbing problem at a business isn't just a mess. It's a closed kitchen, a restroom out of order, a day of lost sales. Restaurants on the court square, offices, rental blocks and shops near campus all run on plumbing that can't afford to sit broken.
We schedule commercial work around your hours, not ours. Early mornings before a restaurant opens, slow afternoons, whatever keeps you running. Water heaters, drain lines, fixtures and repairs — handled by a licensed crew that treats your downtime like it matters.
We can work before you open or after you close, so a fix doesn't cost you a full day of business.
The team that roughs in a new build also takes the 4 p.m. emergency. You're never starting over with a stranger.

Murray plumbing, answered.
Do you offer 24/7 emergency plumbing in Murray?
Yes. We answer the phone around the clock and dispatch from Benton, about twenty minutes up US-641 from Murray. A burst pipe, a failed water heater or a weekend sewer backup gets a real person on the phone. A truck heads your way — not a callback on Monday. Save (270) 356-1204 in your phone before you need it.
Do you service lake homes on Kentucky Lake?
We do, and it's a big part of our work. The east side of Calloway County borders the lake out past New Concord, and those properties need seasonal care. We open places up in spring, winterize them before a hard freeze, and handle marine and dock plumbing that most house plumbers won't touch.
My place is on a well and septic outside town — can you help?
Absolutely. Plenty of Calloway County homes run on a private well and a septic field instead of city utilities. We handle pressure tanks, water lines, fixtures and the septic and drain work that keeps a rural home going. Iron-heavy or hard water is common out here, so ask us and we'll steer you to the right treatment option.
Do you work on rental properties near Murray State?
Yes. We work with landlords and homeowners across the older neighborhoods around campus, where the housing runs decades old. Water heater swaps between leases, drains cleared before move-in weekend, repairs on aging pipe — one number covers every property you own. We'll tell you straight when a fix will hold and when it's time to replace.
What towns around Murray do you cover?
Murray is our anchor, and we run the whole of Calloway County — Hazel, New Concord, Dexter, Almo, Kirksey, Lynn Grove and Coldwater included. Because we're based in Benton, we cover the lake side and the northern county line easily. West toward Graves County, our Mayfield page has you covered.
A pipe froze and burst this winter — what should I do?
Shut off your main water valve first to stop the flooding, then call us. Western Kentucky cold snaps hit crawlspaces, well houses and exterior walls hardest, and a split line only gets worse the longer it runs. We keep emergency routes going all winter, so we can get to Murray fast and get the water back on.
No surprises, start to finish.
