Leak Repair

A leak almost never announces itself politely. It is a stain spreading across the ceiling, a cabinet floor that has gone soft, a water bill that doubled for no reason, or the sound of running water at two in the morning. Leaks are the single most common call we run. From June 2025 through July 2026 our techs handled 432 leak calls across Northern Utah. If water is going somewhere it should not, we can be there fast.

Straight talk about what we do and do not do

Plenty of plumbing companies advertise leak repair with acoustic gear, thermal cameras, and tracer gas. We are not going to tell you we own equipment we do not own. Here is the honest line: we find and repair accessible leaks. Supply lines, drain lines, valves, hose bibbs, water heaters, toilets, and the leaks inside walls and cabinets we can reach and open up. That covers the overwhelming majority of what actually leaks in a Utah home. What we do not do is chase leaks under a concrete slab or buried in your yard with specialized detection equipment. If your leak turns out to be one of those, we will tell you on the spot instead of billing you to guess, and we will point you to someone who does that work. Knowing where our line is saves you money and saves us both a bad day.

Leak work we actually did this past year

Leak work we actually did this past year

Water showing up outside the foundation on a one inch poly main. The line had settled over time and popped a hole right where it enters the house. We did not repipe the whole run for it. We excavated down to the break, cut out the failed section, and did a spot repair on the main. Reading the failure correctly is what kept it a spot repair.

Where Utah homes leak

Hard water is the villain in most of these stories. Utah has some of the hardest water in the country, and scale chews through valve seats, angle stops, and supply connections years before they should fail. The usual suspects we find: the flexible supply line under a sink, a toilet fill valve or wax ring, the faucet or fixture connection, a water heater that has started weeping from the tank seam, and outdoor hose bibbs that split over winter. Winter freeze breaks are their own season around here, and they rarely show themselves until the thaw. If the water is showing up in the yard, at the meter, or coming up through the floor, that is a different animal. Those point at the main water line or the sewer, and we handle those with a camera inspection rather than guesswork.

What a leak call looks like

What a leak call looks like

We show up inside a 3-hour appointment window. The tech finds the source, shows you what he found, and gives you a real number before anything gets taken apart. If it is a ten dollar part and twenty minutes, that is what you will hear. If the run of pipe behind it is corroded and you are going to be calling us again in six months, you will hear that instead, along with what repiping that section would cost. You decide. We do not use scare tactics, and we do not open walls we do not need to open.

Shut the water off first

Shut the water off first

If water is actively running, find your stop and waste valve or the shutoff under the fixture and close it before you call. Every minute of running water is more drywall, more flooring, and more of your money. Then call us at 385-449-0144. We answer 24/7, because leaks do not keep business hours.

The Kind of Service People Talk About.

We built Rare Breed to feel different, and it turns out, people noticed. These are their words. Their stories. 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 was magnificent; flushed my plumbing and took care of all my other needs (plumbing)

joe G.

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.

J. H.

Great guys, great service? Fair price. Really hope that I don’t need them but I am confident that Nathan and Thomas will give me superior service, all with a smile. Really good guys and refreshing to work with. Easy to trust!

James L.

Fast, responsive and fair pricing. Thank you!
