Emergency water heater service by Rare Breed Plumbing in Utah

No Hot Water. No Panic. Just Rare Breed.

A water heater that is leaking across the floor, spraying from a valve, or venting gas is not a wait-until-Monday problem, and a cold shower in a house full of people is not far behind. Your first move is to shut off the water and the gas or breaker to the unit, and we will talk you through exactly that on the phone. We answer 24/7 and arrive inside a 3-hour appointment window, then diagnose whether it is a valve, a fitting, or a tank that has finally split. You get a straight answer and a clear price on the spot (a service call is $49, waived when you have us do the work, and a diagnostic is $189 during business hours or $199 after hours), whether the fix is a fast repair or a same-day replacement.

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

We Call It A STEPP.
Our Customers Just Call It Different.

Long before we pick up a tool, we pick up the phone. You call. We listen. Every job is measured against six standards: Accountability, Safety, Trust, Excellence, Progress, and Positivity. Here is what that looks like from your side of the door.

We Own the Outcome.

If it is ours to do, we do it well. If it is ours to fix, we make it right. No blame, no corner-cutting, no excuses. That is how trust gets built, one job at a time.

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.

Tomas and Nathan showed up and did an awesome job and we’re both professional, through and very friendly. They took care of our issue quickly and communicated everything they were doing before they started. I would recommend them to everyone

My wife and I just moved to Utah. We had a few things we wanted to upgrade and I needed a plumber. After looking over reviews and comparing a few quotes, I decided to use Rare Breed Plumbing. I am very glad I did. Chandler Horne did a great job of taking care of our bathroom faucet but he also checked on a few things for me since this was a new home and found an issue of high water pressure. (FYI- I have an Engineering Degree so I understand high water pressure, this was not just to sell more business.). I am very happy he found this as this could have been an issue in many other areas later on. Chandler also treated this repair as if it was he own home. This is the kind of person you want for any repair in your house. Thanks Chandler and because of you, I committed to Rare Breed for all our Plumbing, Heating and Air conditioner issues etc for the future. Thanks Chandler Horne!!

Colson is amazing! He’s upfront, transparent, and so personable. He came in to give an estimate for a gnarly toilet repair, and his professionally and straightforwardness only adds to the company’s and his credibility. Highly recommend!!

I randomly called Rare Breed Plumbing and I would definitely recommend them to others. Kyler showed up on time and was very thorough at explaining all my options. I had a drain issue and after talking to Kyler I decided to go with flushing the drain out with a water jet. My drains are all working perfectly now. Kyler also pointed out some other potential issues that could occur later and suggested some ways that I could easily correct them myself. He also cleaned up very well afterwards. Kyler was very professional and knowledgeable
