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

Clogs Cleared. Systems Restored. Peace Rebuilt.

One slow drain is usually a local clog you can live with for a day. Several fixtures draining slow at once, gurgling in another room, or water backing up through the lowest drain when you run the shower is a main-line problem, and it needs a real diagnosis, not a bottle of chemical cleaner. Chemical drain cleaner is an acid or a base that sits on the pipe and eats it from the inside, and under your Utah floor that pipe is often metal. We clear the drain the right way and put a camera down the line so you can see the actual problem, then we tell you what it will take to fix it.

Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm. Emergency service runs 24/7. We come inside a 3-hour appointment window.

Drain Slows to a Trickle Every Few Weeks?

Drain Slows to a Trickle Every Few Weeks?

Recurring clogs mean deeper problems. We inspect the full line, clean it fully, and make sure it stays that way.

Toilet Bubbles When the Shower Runs?

That’s stack pressure, a sign of system imbalance. We diagnose and clear the main drain, not just the branch.

Used a Store Cleaner and Now It’s Worse?

Chemical cleaners often push the clog deeper. We hydro-jet or mechanically snake the line, clearing blockages without harming pipes.

That’s a red flag for a mainline issue. We scope the full run with high-res cameras to prevent the next emergency.

It’s Not Just a Blockage. It’s About the Flow Behind It.

Chemical drain cleaner is an acid or a base that sits on the pipe and eats it from the inside, and under your floor that pipe is often metal. We clear drains the right way and put a camera down the line so you can see the actual problem, not guess at it. If the same drain keeps clogging, that is usually a pipe problem, not a clog problem, and we will show you exactly what is going on before any work starts. Call 385-449-0144.

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.

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 !

Thomas was magnificent; flushed my plumbing and took care of all my other needs (plumbing)

Great experience with Thomas and Nathan doing the diagnosis and getting things figured out. Got the sink repaired and were great to work with.

Eric G.

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

Michael J.

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.

JaeLynn W.

Got to work with Thomas and Nathan. They were awesome, very knowledgable, gave me options and explained my choices. Very happy with service

Conner M.

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.

Allison G.

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.
