Our Service Area: Northern Utah

Pick your county to see the cities we run.

We run out of three shops: Sandy, Bountiful, and Orem. From those we cover Salt Lake, Davis, Utah, Weber, Summit, Tooele, Wasatch, Cache, and Box Elder counties. We also run jobs in Juab and Morgan when the work is a fit. That is the honest boundary, and it came from where our trucks actually finished jobs, not from a map we wished were bigger.

Utah is not one water system. Hardness swings by city and by season, Herriman runs about three times Draper in the summer, Bountiful’s city water quality report puts much of its source water at 15 to 30 grains, and Ogden is different from the rest of the state. Sewer laterals here sit about eight feet down, below the frost line, so the national signs of a leak do not show up the way they do in warm climates. We build for the town we are standing in.

Every visit gets a 3-hour appointment window and a clear price before any work starts. The office is open Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm, and emergency service runs 24/7. Call (385) 449-0144 or book online.

SALT LAKE COUNTY
PEX water lines run through floor joists on a whole-home repipe by Rare Breed Plumbing in Utah

SALT LAKE COUNTY

Hard water, inversion season, and a lot of houses old enough to be on their second water heater.
Our Sandy shop covers this county. Scale is the thing that kills equipment here, so most of what we do is softeners, water heaters, and the repairs that come from years without one. Older Salt Lake City neighborhoods add galvanized and cast iron to the list.

Cities we serve:
Alta, Bluffdale, Brighton, Copperton, Cottonwood Heights, Draper, Herriman, Holladay, Kearns, Magna, Midvale, Millcreek, Murray, Riverton, Salt Lake City, Sandy, South Jordan, South Salt Lake, Taylorsville, West Jordan, West Valley City, White City

DAVIS COUNTY
Water heater flue and expansion tank in a Utah home

DAVIS COUNTY

Hard water and cold snaps that find every weak spot.
Our Bountiful shop on Main Street covers this county, and it is where Rare Breed started. Bountiful water is hard too. The city’s own water quality report puts much of its source water at 15 to 30 grains per gallon, so scale on water heaters and fixtures is the everyday problem here, and we test at the tap before recommending a softener.

Cities we serve:
Bountiful, Centerville, Clearfield, Clinton, Farmington, Fruit Heights, Kaysville, Layton, North Salt Lake, South Weber, Sunset, Syracuse, West Bountiful, West Point, Woods Cross

UTAH COUNTY
Corroded cast-iron drain line opened for cleaning by Rare Breed Plumbing in Utah

UTAH COUNTY

Fast growth, water quality that changes town to town, new builds next door to aging systems.
Our Orem shop covers this county. Vineyard water is questionable enough that we test before we recommend anything, and the older Provo and Springville housing stock brings the same drain and sewer work we see up north.

Cities we serve:
American Fork, Cedar Hills, Eagle Mountain, Elk Ridge, Genola, Goshen, Highland, Lehi, Lindon, Mapleton, Orem, Payson, Pleasant Grove, Provo, Salem, Santaquin, Saratoga Springs, Spanish Fork, Springville, Vineyard, Woodland Hills

WEBER COUNTY
Rare Breed Rheem water heater and Sentry II softener install in Utah

WEBER COUNTY

Ogden water is its own animal, and it is not like the rest of the state.
Court’s line on it is blunt: Ogden water is bad and it is different. We test before we spec treatment here instead of copying what works in Salt Lake County. Everything else, water heaters, drains, furnaces, runs the same as anywhere else on the Front.

Cities we serve:
Eden, Farr West, Harrisville, Huntsville, Marriott-Slaterville, North Ogden, Ogden, Plain City, Pleasant View, Riverdale, Roy, South Ogden, Uintah, Washington Terrace, West Haven

SUMMIT COUNTY
Carrier WeatherMaker gas furnace in a utility closet

SUMMIT COUNTY

Altitude, long winters, and homes that sit empty for weeks at a time.
Freeze protection matters more up here than anywhere else we work. Hydronic heat, snow melt, and hose bibbs that were never drained are the calls we get. Drive times are longer from Sandy, so we will tell you honestly when we can be there.

Cities we serve:
Coalville, Francis, Henefer, Hoytsville, Kamas, Kimball Junction, Oakley, Park City, Peoa, Silver Summit, Snyderville

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

TOOELE COUNTY

Hard water, well water in the outlying areas, and long runs between houses.
A lot of Tooele County homes are on wells or on systems that were never sized for the water coming through them. We test first. Service lines out here are also longer, which changes how a leak shows up.

Cities we serve:
Erda, Grantsville, Lake Point, Rush Valley, Stansbury Park, Stockton, Tooele, Vernon, Wendover

WASATCH COUNTY
PEX radiant heating tubing laid in loops across a subfloor

WASATCH COUNTY

Radiant floors, snow melt, and mountain builds with complicated mechanical rooms.
Heber and Midway run more hydronic heat per house than anywhere else we cover, so this is boiler and radiant country. Same 3-hour appointment window, same clear quote, just a longer drive from the shop and we will say so when you call.

Cities we serve:
Charleston, Daniel, Heber City, Hideout, Jordanelle, Midway, Timber Lakes, Wallsburg

CACHE COUNTY

CACHE COUNTY

A longer run from the Bountiful shop, and we will say so when you call.
Logan, Hyrum, and the towns around them are real completed-job cities, not a wish list. Drive time is longer than a Front-range call. We tell you that before we book it.

Cities we serve:
Benson, Hyrum, Logan, Providence, Wellsville

BOX ELDER COUNTY

BOX ELDER COUNTY

Same honesty as Cache: we have finished jobs in Brigham City, Willard, and Tremonton.
Drive time is longer. We tell you that before we book it.

Cities we serve:
Brigham City, Tremonton, Willard

Do not see your city?

Call and ask. If you are inside the counties above you get a 3-hour appointment window like everyone else. If you are outside them we will tell you straight instead of driving out and charging you for the trip. We also finish jobs in Cache County (Logan, Hyrum, Providence, Benson, Wellsville) and Box Elder County (Brigham City, Willard, Tremonton). Juab and Morgan are one-off job counties. Call and ask. Call (385) 449-0144.

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.

Accountability

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.

No Shortcuts. Ever.

Safety sits at the heart of every decision we make. Every job we do keeps your family safe, your home protected, and our crew going home in one piece.

Trust

Earned by Showing Up.

It is rare to find a contractor you can trust completely, with your home, your family, and your friends. We earn it through actions, not promises, every single visit.

Excellence

Good Enough Is Never Good Enough.

We do the job right the first time, every time. The highest standard of skill and craftsmanship is the minimum standard here.

Progress & Positivity

Better Every Job. Positive at Every Door.

Complacency is the enemy of greatness, so we train, learn, and evolve every week. And we do it with optimism, turning problems into opportunities and lifting the people around us. You will feel it at the door.

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 came out and was thoughtful and professional in his work. He explained all our options and gave us the best service we could have expected.

Brett F.

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

Joseph W.

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!

Art D.

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!

Wasatch M.

Service expert Kyler Rupp, was a great help. He answered all my questions and gave me a few tips on how to keep the pipes from my sinks well kept. Over all good costumer service!

Chris G.

Tyson quickly found answers where others could not. Great price, solid work, and strong ethical standards. I would highly recommend! I will be using them again.

Gibb Van Orman was so nice and so honest. My furnace wasn’t heating the air it was blowing. Gibb found the problem instantly and it was a quick fix. Other servicers could have said I needed a new motor but Gibb was honest about it. He also fixed a small problem that a previous servicer from a different company handled incorrectly. Overall, this was another great service visit from Rare Breed.
