The Quiet Leak

Not a Flood. A Leak That Hid.

The call we get most from Bountiful is not a flood. It is a leak that hid. A ceiling stain that grew a little this month, a meter that ticks with everything off, a water bill that crept up with no obvious reason.

The tech puts a gauge on the system, isolates it fixture by fixture, and watches the meter instead of opening walls on a hunch. When the failed line shows itself, you see it, you get the price, and then you decide. More on leak repair in Bountiful.

“I didn’t even know I had a leak! And he found it and gave me options to fix it.” Emily E., Google review, Bountiful location

The Quiet Leak

East Bench Homes

Cast Iron Drains. Galvanized Supply Lines.

Much of Bountiful sits on the east bench in homes old enough to still have cast iron drains and galvanized supply lines, which is where a lot of leaks and slow drains start.

We put a camera down the sewer before anyone quotes a liner. If the supply side is galvanized throughout, that is a whole-home repiping conversation, not a patch that fails again next year. Court explains the warning signs in how to tell if you have a sewer line problem.

“Older cast iron systems can be a challenge but he had us up and running quickly.” Lisa M., Google review, Bountiful location

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.

Kyler was kind, professional and hardworking. He helped me and my Fiancée out of a jam. And did it efficiently while explaining the situation. Would recommend

Samuel Y.

Amber S.

Alex E.

He was great. Came and fixed the issue pretty quickly.

Kristi C.

I would recommend these folks to everyone. They came quickly, were very thorough and communicated well. My home had a nasty drain pipe leak that they repaired very quickly. Chandler was who they sent to do the diagnostic and repair. Well rounded individual who knows how to get the job done and not complain!
Thanks again!

Peak P.

Very helpful very pleasant person. Knows his job well

Kathy H.

Chandler was very knowledgeable, friendly and hardworking! Highly recommend him.

Andrew G.

Chandler provided a thorough plumbing inspection and provided options for better tasting coffee by installing a reverse osmosis system which we will strongly consider! Chandler was efficient, professional, knowledgeable and on time. We also highly recommend the membership option with this company so you can save 10%!

Shannon S.

My water heater had broken and Thomas was there within a day, and the water heater was replaced and running smoothly the following day. I was grateful for Thomas’ professionalism and knowledge on what was wrong. He explained it in a way that made it easy for me to understand. The parts and the labor were all set out for me to see what would need to be done and how much it would cost. I feel the price was quite reasonable. I know I have purchased a good product. I appreciated Thomas’ cheerfulness. I felt like I was in good hands. I will definitely have them come back for any water or plumbing needs. I have for my home.

Vikki M.

Such an amazing company!! Dom came and did my safety check and was so educational. Loved working with him! Dan L came out to do my sewer line inspection. Told me everything looked uneventful which in sewer line talk means it all looks great. Thank you for the peace of mind!!!!

How fast can you get to a house in Bountiful?

We schedule a 3-hour appointment window, and the Main Street shop means the tech is coming from downtown Bountiful, not from Utah County. Emergencies jump the line, including nights and weekends.

Do you give the price before you start?

Always. Diagnosis first, then a real quote, then your go-ahead. No surprises on the invoice. If the honest answer is that you do not need the work, we say that too.

Does the Bountiful shop handle heating and air too?

Yes. Rare Breed handles heating and air as well as plumbing, so one shop covers the whole house. See furnace repair in Bountiful, boiler repair in Bountiful, and air conditioning service.

Do you find leaks under a slab?

No. We repair accessible indoor leaks. We do not own slab, acoustic, or tracer-gas detection equipment, and we will not tell you we do. If the leak is in a wall or cabinet we can reach, we quote the opening and the repair before we cut. If your pressure has dropped too, Court covers the overlap in what causes low water pressure.

How hard is Bountiful's water, and what does it do to my plumbing?

Hard. Bountiful City’s own water quality report says much of the city’s source water is hard to very hard, in the range of 15 to 30 grains per gallon. That is the white crust on faucet aerators and shower heads. It also settles as scale inside water heaters and fixture cartridges, and the same report notes scaling gets worse above 120°F and that most water heater manufacturers recommend flushing the tank twice a year. We test the water at your tap before recommending a softener. Source: Bountiful City water quality report.

Do I need a permit to replace a water heater in Bountiful?

Yes. Bountiful requires a plumbing permit for a water heater replacement, even a like-for-like swap, and the job gets a final inspection from the city. The inspector looks at venting, the gas connection, the temperature and pressure relief line, and strapping. When we replace a water heater in Bountiful, the permit is part of the job, and it is worth asking any plumber you hire whether theirs is.
