Cast iron waste stacks and water lines roughed in behind metal studs on a commercial building floor

Plumbing

A running toilet, a dripping shutoff, or a pipe that gave out behind the wall.

We find the cause, not just the symptom, then we explain what we found before anyone opens a wall. Booked visits run on a 3-hour appointment window from the Sandy, Bountiful, and Orem shops.

Every Plumbing Service We Offer

A running toilet, a dripping shutoff, a pipe that finally gave out behind the wall. They all need someone who fixes the cause, not just the symptom. Rare Breed handles the full range of residential and commercial plumbing out of our shops in Sandy, Bountiful, and Orem, covering Salt Lake, Davis, Utah, Weber, Summit, Tooele, Wasatch, Cache, and Box Elder counties. We diagnose before we quote, explain what we found, and get your agreement before any work starts. Call 385-449-0144 or book online.

Corroded cast-iron drain line opened for cleaning by Rare Breed Plumbing in Utah
Drain Cleaning

Slow drains, gurgling, or a clog that keeps coming back. We clear the line and camera it, because a recurring clog is usually a pipe problem, not a clog problem.

Main water shut-off valve and pressure gauge installed by Rare Breed Plumbing in Utah
Water Pressure

Low pressure is not automatically a repipe. We put a gauge on it. Static should read 50 to 80 psi, and it should not drop more than about 10 psi with one faucet running.

PEX water lines run through floor joists on a whole-home repipe by Rare Breed Plumbing in Utah

Do you handle both small repairs and full system upgrades?

Yes. A dripping faucet and a whole-home repipe get the same process: find the cause, explain it, quote it, then do it. No shortcuts, no compromise.

How often should my home's plumbing be inspected?

Every two to three years, and sooner in an older home or one with galvanized pipe. A camera down the sewer every five years is cheap next to what it catches.

Are your plumbers licensed and background-checked?

Yes. Rare Breed holds Utah license #11166591-5501, and every technician who walks into your home is licensed, trained, and background-checked.

Do you charge for a diagnostic?

Yes. There is a service call fee, and we waive it when you have us do the work. If we do not yet know what is wrong, there is a diagnostic fee, which differs during business hours and after hours, and it is often rolled into the repair depending on how involved the diagnosis was. If you already know what you need and just want a price, that is an estimate, and those are often free. Ask when you book and we will tell you the number before we drive. Estimates on replacement work are free. We would rather read a gauge and a camera than guess, and you get the real answer either way.

Can I finance a plumbing upgrade?

Yes, for qualified homeowners, on larger projects like water line replacements and repipes. Ask before the work starts and we will walk you through the options.

What areas do you serve?

We run out of our shops in Sandy, Bountiful, and Orem and cover Salt Lake, Davis, Utah, Weber, Summit, Tooele, Wasatch, Cache, and Box Elder counties, with a 3-hour appointment window and 24/7 emergency service.

Why do plumbing problems keep coming back?

Because the clog usually is not the problem, the pipe is. A recurring clog means something is wrong inside the line, so we camera it instead of selling you another cleaning.
