Main water service line bedded in gravel by Rare Breed Plumbing in Utah

Water In. Worry Out.

A wet spot in the yard that never dries, a water bill that jumps for no reason, or pressure that drops across the whole house can mean your main water line, the buried service line from the meter to your home, is failing. Under Utah soil that line rusts and can pinch, develop pinholes, or in the worst case burst. Before anyone talks about replacing the whole line, we read a pressure gauge and locate the actual leak, because the fix is sometimes smaller than it sounds. When the line does need replacing, we explain the trench-versus-trenchless options and what your yard and your budget are really looking at.

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

We minimize disruption, maximize clarity, and rebuild with materials and methods that last.

Sudden drop in water pressure?

Sudden drop in water pressure?

It’s rarely just a fixture. We put a gauge on it, watch the meter, and isolate the line to find where the pressure is going. If the leak is buried in the yard and needs specialised pinpointing gear we do not own, we say so and refer it out.

Unexplained water in the yard or driveway?

Surface pooling or soggy patches may signal underground leaks. Rare Breed pinpoints failures using pressure testing and a careful diagnostic, no digging, no guessing.

Spiking water bills with no visible leaks?

A slow underground leak can cost thousands. We locate and verify the issue, then document it clearly for insurance or resale purposes.

Many Wasatch homes still run on galvanized or polybutylene piping. We upgrade to code-compliant, high-integrity materials that improve pressure, durability, and resale.

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!
