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 within a 2-hour 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, 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 2-hour arrival window.

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.

My wife and I have relied on Rare breed a few times now and their over all service has been amazing.

Their staff (Daniel, Miguel, Thor amoung others) listen to the wants of the customer and explain in layman’s terms the best solutions in their opinion, while keeping budget in mind.

The work they have already done on our faucets, water heater and softener look amazing and is functioning perfectly.

I 100% highly recommend them and appreciate the lengths they go to in the services and advice they offer.

Had Chandler out to do some work for us, as always, very polite, professional, and did a great job. Rare Breed is still my go to for plumbing and HVAC, thank you guys!

Chandler did a great job cleaning our drains today

I found Rare Breed by doing a Google search because we had a problem with our sink supply line spraying under our kitchen sink. Court came out the next morning and got everything fixed for us. He was really patient and did a great job of explaining everything he was doing and why. Additionally, he fixed our water pressure for us, as we had way too much pressure, so this will help to alleviate potential problems in the future. While I hope we won’t need any services anytime soon, I’ll definitely use Rare Breed when I do.

Had an emergency on a Saturday night with our toilet, came out Sunday morning and got us all setup with a brand new one for a really great price! Even coached me on things to look out for when doing a replacement. Super friendly, super fast, and they care about keeping their work area clean while they’re in your home. Highly recommended!

Andrew J.

Thomas was prompt and helpful! He got the job done and explained everything very clearly . He didn’t try to upsell or do anything we didn’t need! Definitely would recommend!

Elizabeth T.

Miguel took the time to explain what was going on with my pipes and my options to get them fixed! He left everything cleaned up when he was done.

Dawn

They were quick to respond and resolve our issue. They even lowered our price after the initial quote because the work wasn’t as complicated and they felt like it was honest. I will definitely be calling them again.

Gibb was awesome! Answered all my questions and was extremely professional

I needed an old shower drain/p-trap replaced under a concrete slab. Throughout the process, Rare Breed Plumbing, Heating and Air provided best in class communication, customer service and a very nice end product. From their office staff (Randy) to the Service Expert (Jesse), everything flowed effortlessly (pardon the pun). I couldn’t be happier and highly recommend doing business with this company.
