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.

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.

Home inspection flagged an outdated or failing line?

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

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!

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!
