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 water is acidic, 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

Acidic water in places, hard water in others, 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 runs acidic, which is a different problem from the scale you get further south, so the fix is not always 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

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.

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.

Earned by Showing Up.

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 was magnificent; flushed my plumbing and took care of all my other needs (plumbing)

joe G.

Great experience with Thomas and Nathan doing the diagnosis and getting things figured out. Got the sink repaired and were great to work with.

Eric G.

Quick and consistent great service. Thomas and Nathan are heros of plumbing!

Michael J.

Colson did a fantastic job fixing my new tankless water heater. He went the extra mile and rerouted the venting to make it more efficient. He also fixed a drain and added the necessary shutoff valves for flushing maintenance at no additional charge. I will definitely call Rare Breed again.

JaeLynn W.

Got to work with Thomas and Nathan. They were awesome, very knowledgable, gave me options and explained my choices. Very happy with service

Conner M.

Chandler was great! He came out and checked all the plumbing to make sure we didn’t have any inventing problems. Now we can feel confident going into the winter months.

Allison G.

Great service and super fast resolution! Thanks!

Maurina H.

We had a real problem with our 6 year old tankless water heater. Multiple plumbers came here to evaluate how to repair and install replacement parts. In each case, it was obvious they had no idea or experience working on tankless heaters.

On a referral, I called Rare Breed, to see if they had anyone trained and experienced on our heater. After evaluating the bids and impressions from no less than 4 other plumbing companies, all of which obviously had no expertise in tankless heaters, it was a true pleasure and relief to hear from Rare Breed, that they had expert plumbers who had experience with tankless and, specifically with our heater. They were not lying! They sent a true expert who was not only experienced and obviously skilled and knowledgeable, Aaron was a true gentleman through out the difficult repair. He arrived on time and made an excellent first impression with a firm handshake and introduction. He was neat and clean with clean organized tools. Aaron is as friendly as if I had a good friend come to work on our heater. He did exactly what needed to be done, with obvious skills and knowledge about our heater. It was a massive job that took 6+ hours of complex and difficult disassembly and the installation of extremely complex parts that had been shipped to me from the manufacturer.

The repair was not cheap but, it was literally less than half of what the previous plumbing company had bid.

Now we once again have a fully functioning tankless heater. I wish we had had the counsel and expert installation of Rare Breed 6 years ago. If we had their help then, we would not be dealing with the problems we are having now, because they would have steered us to a MUCH better manufacturer of tankless heaters but, that is water under the bridge now.

Thank you Aaron and to the company who sent you to us. We will use Rare Breed Plumbing for ALL our future plumbing needs and, if we do need their help again, we would also hope they would again send Aaron.

J. H.

Great guys, great service? Fair price. Really hope that I don’t need them but I am confident that Nathan and Thomas will give me superior service, all with a smile. Really good guys and refreshing to work with. Easy to trust!

James L.

Fast, responsive and fair pricing. Thank you!
