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.

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.

Schedule Service

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.

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.

Brett F.

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

Joseph W.

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!

Art D.

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.
