Here is what our Sandy calls actually look like, and it is not what most people expect. The most common call we get from Sandy is not a burst pipe or a flooded basement.

The call we get most from Sandy

It is a leak, the quiet kind: a ceiling stain that grew, a warm spot on the floor, a water bill that crept up with no explanation. The homeowner hears water running with nothing on. Our tech puts a gauge on the system, isolates it fixture by fixture, and watches the meter instead of opening walls on a hunch, then shows you the line that failed and quotes the fix before touching anything. You agree to the work knowing what it costs and why.

“Chandler, from Rare Breed Plumbing, did an excellent job of diagnosing the problems and getting them fixed.”

A real shop on Sandy Parkway

Our shop at 8763 Sandy Pkwy is Rare Breed’s main operations hub, the shop our whole operation runs out of. That is why we can promise a 3-hour appointment window in Sandy and keep it. From here we handle leak repair and smart shutoff systems, toilets, faucets and fixtures, garbage disposals, gas lines, main water lines, whole-home repiping, sewer lines, and emergencies around the clock. Hours and directions are on the Sandy location page.

How fast can you get to my house in Sandy?

We schedule a 3-hour appointment window, and the Sandy shop means the tech is coming from down the road, not across the valley. Emergencies jump the line.

Do you cover the cities around Sandy?

Yes. The Sandy shop runs the south valley: Draper, Midvale, Cottonwood Heights, South Jordan, Riverton, and Herriman, all on the same 3-hour appointment window. Draper and Riverton each have their own plumber page.

How do I know if I have a hidden leak?

Watch your water bill, listen for running water with everything off, and check for warm spots on floors or stains that grow. If any of those sound familiar, have it tracked down now. Court wrote up what to do when a pipe bursts for the worst case, but catching the leak early is the version that costs less.

Do you give the price before you start?

Always. Diagnosis first, then a real quote, then your go-ahead. No surprises on the invoice.

Why does Sandy's water seem harder some months than others?

Because it is a blend. Sandy City’s 2026 water quality report says the city’s water comes from mountain streams including Little Cottonwood Creek and Bell Canyon, reservoir water from Deer Creek and Jordanelle delivered by Metropolitan Water District, and 16 city wells that typically only run in the summer months. The mix at your tap shifts through the year, so we test at the tap before we size or set a softener instead of quoting from a citywide average. Source: Sandy City 2026 Water Quality Report.

Does Sandy require a permit to replace a water heater?

Yes. Sandy City issues a water heater replacement permit (it also covers boilers) and a separate tankless water heater permit that requires a gas line schematic. Other plumbing repairs and alterations fall under a general plumbing permit. We pull the permit as part of a Sandy water heater replacement. Source: Sandy City residential plumbing permits.

Thomas was great, in a quick manner and walked all steps and repaired leak in bathroom and brought up quick and easy fixed to prevent similar problems in the future

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!

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!
