Water Heater Repair & Replacement in Bountiful, UT
Water heater repair, replacement, and maintenance in Bountiful, where Rare Breed started. Diagnosis first and a 3-hour appointment window from our Main Street shop.
Schedule ServiceWhat we handle in Bountiful
Back when we were Lundberg Plumbing, Bountiful was our first shop, and Main Street still serves Davis County every day. When a Bountiful water heater quits, the tech at your door is coming from a few minutes away, and the first job is finding out what actually failed.
Water Heater Repair
No hot water, too little of it, or rusty water at the tap. We find out whether it is the thermocouple, the element, the dip tube, or the tank itself before we quote anything. That is water heater repair.
Tank Water Heaters
A tank keeps about 50 gallons in reserve and needs no power to heat it. We size, install, strap, and vent them to code, with an expansion tank where the code calls for one.
Tankless Water Heaters
Unlimited hot water and no shower order. Higher up front because the flue and the gas usually have to change, but the warranty runs about 15 years against a tank’s 6.
Water Heater Maintenance and Flush
Yearly, and every six months in water this hard. We flush the sediment, check the anode rod, and test the relief valve, which is the cheapest way to buy years.
Emergency Water Heater Service
A leaking tank is a 50 gallon water balloon sitting in your basement. Call us and the first thing we do is tell you how to shut it off. Then we come out, 24/7.
Code Compliance and Safety Upgrades
Seismic straps, drip legs, expansion tanks, combustion air, and flue sizing. The parts an inspector fails and a cheap install skips.

What a Bountiful water heater call looks like
The water heater visit we make most often in Bountiful is a diagnostic, not a sale, like the one we ran on July 17, 2026. The tech tests the unit, shows you what is actually wrong, and quotes the fix before anything happens. Sometimes that is a part and an hour. Sometimes the tank is done and we say so plainly, and we replace water heaters in Bountiful year-round when that is the honest answer. Court lists the signs a water heater is failing.
“We had a water heater leak, after hours and on a holiday weekend. Terrible timing but Court came to the rescue!”

Older Bountiful homes, harder water, shorter tank lives
A lot of Bountiful housing is older stock, and all of it gets Utah’s mineral-heavy water. Sediment builds in the bottom of a tank, the popping starts, efficiency drops, and years come off the unit. The fix is boring and effective: a yearly flush. Court has written up how long a water heater should really last here. If yours is past ten years and never flushed, read that before it picks the timing for you.
My water heater is rumbling. Is that dangerous?
Rumbling is usually sediment, and it means the tank is working too hard. It is not an explosion risk in the movie sense, but it is your heater telling you it is wearing out early. A flush now beats a replacement later.
Can you match the water heater I already have?
Usually yes, like for like, and we will tell you if code has changed since yours went in. Bountiful’s older homes sometimes need code and safety upgrades with a new unit, and we price that up front, not as a surprise mid-job.
Do you service what you did not install?
Every day. Most of the heaters we diagnose in Bountiful were put in by someone else. We fix what is in front of us.
Should I repair, replace, or go tankless?
Repairs when repair makes sense, tank replacements when it does not, and tankless or hybrid upgrades when your household is a fit, with the honest tradeoffs first. Court’s breakdown of repair versus replace in Utah hard water is a good place to start. Emergency service runs around the clock, because a failed heater on a Saturday night does not wait for Monday.
Where is the Bountiful shop, and when is it open?
Our Main Street shop at 270 S Main St Ste 113 is where Rare Breed started. It is open Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm, with 24/7 emergency service, and water heater calls are booked inside a 3-hour appointment window. Directions are on the Bountiful location page.
