What we handle in Sandy

A slow drain in Sandy has two futures. In one, it gets cleared properly, the cause gets found, and it stays fixed. In the other, it gets a bottle of chemical cleaner poured down it every month until the pipe itself is the problem. We are in the first business. Our Sandy shop at 8763 Sandy Pkwy runs drain calls all year, and we clear the clog AND tell you why it happened.

Real numbers from our own job log: about 20 drain calls in Sandy in that window. Nine clogged drains cleared, seven secondary-drain diagnostics, a hydro jetting in March 2026, and drain pipe diagnostics as recent as July 6, 2026. On the bigger stuff, our camera scopes on Sandy main lines ran as recently as July 2, 2026, because when a drain keeps clogging, the honest next step is to look inside the pipe instead of guessing. You see the footage, then we talk options.

Why we will not just sell you a quick fix

Court has said it plainly: quit pouring chemical drain cleaner down your drain. It eats at pipes, it rarely fixes the cause, and it makes the eventual repair worse. His full breakdown is worth five minutes: what actually works vs what makes it worse. A drain that clogs repeatedly is a symptom. The cause is grease, roots, a belly in the line, or a failing pipe, and each has a different right answer: snaking, professional drain cleaning, hydro jetting, or a repair or replacement. If it might be the main line, read how to tell if you have a sewer line problem. “He was the only plumber that didn’t tell me they were two weeks out. I definitely appreciate his responsiveness and quality.” Joe H. · Google review, quoted word for word from our public review page

My drain clogs every few months. Why?

A recurring clog means the cause was never removed: grease buildup, roots, or a sag in the line. Clearing it again buys time. A camera scope buys the answer.

Is hydro jetting safe for my pipes?

On sound pipe, yes, it is the deepest clean there is. On compromised pipe it can do harm, which is exactly why we scope first when there is any doubt. Right tool, right pipe, right order.

Do you handle floor drains and basement backups?

Yes, and a basement floor drain backing up is often the first warning of a main line problem. Treat it as urgent and call. If groundwater is the issue instead, we handle sump pump systems too.

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 !

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.
