The Quiet Leak

Not a Flood. A Leak That Hid.

The call we get most from Bountiful is not a flood. It is a leak that hid. A ceiling stain that grew a little this month, a meter that ticks with everything off, a water bill that crept up with no obvious reason.

The tech puts a gauge on the system, isolates it fixture by fixture, and watches the meter instead of opening walls on a hunch. When the failed line shows itself, you see it, you get the price, and then you decide. More on leak repair in Bountiful.

“I didn’t even know I had a leak! And he found it and gave me options to fix it.” Emily E., Google review, Bountiful location

The Quiet Leak

East Bench Homes

Cast Iron Drains. Galvanized Supply Lines.

Much of Bountiful sits on the east bench in homes old enough to still have cast iron drains and galvanized supply lines, which is where a lot of leaks and slow drains start.

We put a camera down the sewer before anyone quotes a liner. If the supply side is galvanized throughout, that is a whole-home repiping conversation, not a patch that fails again next year. Court explains the warning signs in how to tell if you have a sewer line problem.

“Older cast iron systems can be a challenge but he had us up and running quickly.” Lisa M., Google review, Bountiful location

What it’s like to be cared for by a team that shows up with purpose, listens with respect, and follows through with heart. The kind of experience that stays with you, long after the work is done.

Thomas came out and was thoughtful and professional in his work. He explained all our options and gave us the best service we could have expected.

Thomas was great, in a quick manner and walked all steps and repaired leak in bathroom and brought up quick and easy fixed to prevent similar problems in the future

Colson Abel saved us this weekend! Yesterday our water heater decided to crack and start flooding our basement. Colson stopped the flood last night and this morning installed a new water heater. Of the many plumbers we’ve seen over the years, Colson is the best. Easy going, great knowledge and skills. Thanks Colson and Rare Breed Plumbing!

Court provided 24/7 emergency repair for us in Kearns, UT. Our main water shut off to the house started to leak profusely (6 gallons of water in 2 hours) in the off position around 8pm. We called around trying to find a plumber who could help us same night. Court (Rare Breed Plumbing) was the only plumber we called (out of 4) who was willing to come take a look at our issue same night. By 10:30pm he had the leak stopped and scheduled us for an appointment to fix the rest of the problem the very next day. Major crisis averted.

MaKea K.

I had my water main water shut off valve start leaking at 8pm. Not a good situation! Called around to a bunch of places and no one could help. I was able to call and get in direct contact with Court and he came out 30 mins later and stopped the leak so it could be properly fixed the next day! A+ service! I’d definitely trust him with any other issues in the future!

Tim H.

Lost heat in my house all of a sudden. The temperature outside was too cold for little kids to be without heat. Court showed up to my house and did everything in his power to get our heat back on as soon as he possibly could. Court was professional in his appearance, he was very kind and very knowledgeable. He was considerate to my house, my kids, and my dogs. I would highly recommend Rare Breed for any of your HVAC needs!

Dev R.

Court and Chandler literally saved our bacon, coming immediately out to my business (a birthing center) and not only fixing a clog in the main line of the building plumbing but solving a riddle that no other plumbers could figure out in nearly 10years! They had it all fixed within an hour!
These guys are saints! As well as honest and far, not to mention the fact that they just know their stuff.
We would have been so stranded without calling them. Thanks!

Wasatch M.

Service expert Kyler Rupp, was a great help. He answered all my questions and gave me a few tips on how to keep the pipes from my sinks well kept. Over all good costumer service!

Chris G.

Tyson quickly found answers where others could not. Great price, solid work, and strong ethical standards. I would highly recommend! I will be using them again.

Gibb Van Orman was so nice and so honest. My furnace wasn’t heating the air it was blowing. Gibb found the problem instantly and it was a quick fix. Other servicers could have said I needed a new motor but Gibb was honest about it. He also fixed a small problem that a previous servicer from a different company handled incorrectly. Overall, this was another great service visit from Rare Breed.

How fast can you get to a house in Bountiful?

We schedule a 3-hour appointment window, and the Main Street shop means the tech is coming from downtown Bountiful, not from Utah County. Emergencies jump the line, including nights and weekends.

Do you give the price before you start?

Always. Diagnosis first, then a real quote, then your go-ahead. No surprises on the invoice. If the honest answer is that you do not need the work, we say that too.

Does the Bountiful shop handle heating and air too?

Yes. Rare Breed handles heating and air as well as plumbing, so one shop covers the whole house. See furnace repair in Bountiful, boiler repair in Bountiful, and air conditioning service.

Do you find leaks under a slab?

No. We repair accessible indoor leaks. We do not own slab, acoustic, or tracer-gas detection equipment, and we will not tell you we do. If the leak is in a wall or cabinet we can reach, we quote the opening and the repair before we cut. If your pressure has dropped too, Court covers the overlap in what causes low water pressure.

How hard is Bountiful's water, and what does it do to my plumbing?

Hard. Bountiful City’s own water quality report says much of the city’s source water is hard to very hard, in the range of 15 to 30 grains per gallon. That is the white crust on faucet aerators and shower heads. It also settles as scale inside water heaters and fixture cartridges, and the same report notes scaling gets worse above 120°F and that most water heater manufacturers recommend flushing the tank twice a year. We test the water at your tap before recommending a softener. Source: Bountiful City water quality report.

Do I need a permit to replace a water heater in Bountiful?

Yes. Bountiful requires a plumbing permit for a water heater replacement, even a like-for-like swap, and the job gets a final inspection from the city. The inspector looks at venting, the gas connection, the temperature and pressure relief line, and strapping. When we replace a water heater in Bountiful, the permit is part of the job, and it is worth asking any plumber you hire whether theirs is.
