Drain and Sewer Service in Northern Utah

Utah laterals run deep, and a lot of them are old clay that roots find long before you do.

A snake clears today. A camera tells you whether it comes back. We put the camera in the line before we quote a repair, so you are paying to fix the actual problem: roots, a belly, an offset, or a clay section that is done. Diagnose first, quote in plain numbers, then book the visit on a 3-hour appointment window from the Sandy, Bountiful, and Orem shops.

Drain Cleaning

Kitchen, laundry, main line. We clear it and then tell you why it clogged, because a drain that backs up twice in a season is telling you something a snake will not fix.

Sewer Camera Inspection

We put a camera down the line and you watch the monitor with us. Roots, bellies, offsets, and old clay all look different, and you should see it before anyone quotes you a repair.

Why does a drain that was just snaked clog again within weeks?

A cable punches a hole through grease, roots, or scale and gets you flowing again. It does not scrape the pipe wall clean, and it does not fix a belly that holds water. If the same fixture backs up twice in a season, we camera the line before we quote another clear so you are not paying for the same temporary hole every month.

When is hydro jetting the right call instead of a cable?

Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour grease and mineral scale a cable leaves behind. It is the right tool for restaurant grease lines, main laterals with heavy buildup, and roots that grow back after a snake. It is the wrong tool for brittle clay that is already cracked. We camera first, then tell you which tool matches what we see.

How do you decide between a spot repair, lining, and a full dig?

The camera decides. A single offset or cracked joint can take a spot repair. A run that is intact but worn can take a liner with one access pit. Collapsed pipe, severe bellies, or a line that will not take a liner still need dig and replace. We show you the footage and the options before anyone opens a trench.

Do you need to dig up my yard to fix a sewer lateral?

Not always. Pipe lining forms a new pipe inside the old one with far less digging, usually one access trench instead of an open run. Some lines will not take a liner, and we will say so before you spend the money. Either way you watch the camera with us so the quote matches the pipe, not a guess.

What should I do when a basement floor drain backs up overnight?

Stop using water upstairs, keep people and pets off the wet area, and call. A floor drain that comes up while fixtures upstairs still drain is often the main lateral talking, not one sink trap. We clear what we can, camera what we need to see, and tell you whether this is a one-time clog or a line that is failing.

Can you camera a line before I buy a house in Utah?

Yes, and it is the cheapest large surprise you can rule out. A standard home inspection does not include the sewer. Clay laterals, root intrusion, and bellies show up on camera long before they show up as a flooded basement. We run the camera, record the footage, and hand you plain language on what you are buying.

Couldn’t recommend Chandler enough! He made the whole process of getting my water heater fixed so easy and stress-free. I really appreciated how safe and comfortable I felt having him in my home. He was professional, honest, and upfront about everything, gave me different options without ever making me feel pressured, and the pricing felt completely fair. The entire process was smooth from start to finish. I’ll definitely be calling Chandler again if I ever need anything! Five star service all around !

Quick and consistent great service. Thomas and Nathan are heros of plumbing!

Colson did a fantastic job fixing my new tankless water heater. He went the extra mile and rerouted the venting to make it more efficient. He also fixed a drain and added the necessary shutoff valves for flushing maintenance at no additional charge. I will definitely call Rare Breed again.

Chandler was great! He came out and checked all the plumbing to make sure we didn’t have any inventing problems. Now we can feel confident going into the winter months.

Great service and super fast resolution! Thanks!

We had a real problem with our 6 year old tankless water heater. Multiple plumbers came here to evaluate how to repair and install replacement parts. In each case, it was obvious they had no idea or experience working on tankless heaters.

On a referral, I called Rare Breed, to see if they had anyone trained and experienced on our heater. After evaluating the bids and impressions from no less than 4 other plumbing companies, all of which obviously had no expertise in tankless heaters, it was a true pleasure and relief to hear from Rare Breed, that they had expert plumbers who had experience with tankless and, specifically with our heater. They were not lying! They sent a true expert who was not only experienced and obviously skilled and knowledgeable, Aaron was a true gentleman through out the difficult repair. He arrived on time and made an excellent first impression with a firm handshake and introduction. He was neat and clean with clean organized tools. Aaron is as friendly as if I had a good friend come to work on our heater. He did exactly what needed to be done, with obvious skills and knowledge about our heater. It was a massive job that took 6+ hours of complex and difficult disassembly and the installation of extremely complex parts that had been shipped to me from the manufacturer.

The repair was not cheap but, it was literally less than half of what the previous plumbing company had bid.

Now we once again have a fully functioning tankless heater. I wish we had had the counsel and expert installation of Rare Breed 6 years ago. If we had their help then, we would not be dealing with the problems we are having now, because they would have steered us to a MUCH better manufacturer of tankless heaters but, that is water under the bridge now.

Thank you Aaron and to the company who sent you to us. We will use Rare Breed Plumbing for ALL our future plumbing needs and, if we do need their help again, we would also hope they would again send Aaron.
