Making plumbing simple is most of what the job is, whether the property is a single-family home, a rental unit, a multi-family building, or a commercial space. We handle both the small jobs that need doing quickly and the larger projects that take planning. Property managers who need a reliable plumber across multiple addresses will find the same consistent process every time: describe the problem, get a price on the call, and schedule the work.
We are available seven days a week from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM.
A slow drain is easy to ignore until it becomes a full stop. Kitchen drains collect grease and food debris. Bathroom drains catch hair and soap buildup. Main lines can back up when the blockage is further down the run. When we come out, we start by diagnosing where the clog actually is before clearing it, then confirm the line is flowing cleanly before we leave. For tougher blockages or main line buildup, hydro jetting breaks up what a standard snake cannot reach.
Hearing a running toilet or a drip behind the wall? A leak that is not immediately visible can do more damage than one you can see. We trace the source before anything is patched, which means the cause of a leak explained, not just the patch. Supply line leaks, dripping faucets, running toilets, and hidden pipe failures all get the same approach: find it, explain it, fix it. Reach out and we'll start at the source of the leak.
No hot water is one of those problems that does not wait. Whether the tank is leaking, the burner is not firing, or a tankless unit is throwing an error, we diagnose the system and tell you whether repair or replacement makes more sense before anything is scheduled. We work on both tank and tankless water heaters, and we confirm hot water is restored before the job is closed. For water heater replacement cost, call for a quote and we'll give you a rate based on what you have and what you need.
A toilet that runs constantly or a faucet that drips overnight wastes water and adds up on the bill. We handle toilet repair and replacement, faucet repair and installation, and fixture upgrades throughout the home. If you are remodeling a bathroom or updating a kitchen, we also handle the plumbing rough-in so the new fixtures go in correctly the first time. Bring us in at the planning stage and the finish work goes smoother.
No matter what's going wrong with your pipes, a sewer line problem makes itself known fast. Slow drains throughout the house, sewage odor, or a backup in the lowest fixture are all signs the main line needs attention. We locate the problem section, clear or repair the line, and confirm flow is restored. The sewer line runs from the house out to the city connection, and that entire run is what we diagnose and repair. Main water line failures get the same treatment: find the break, repair or replace the affected section, restore pressure.
A jammed disposal, a unit that hums but will not spin, or one that has started leaking under the sink are all fixable without replacing the whole unit in many cases. We assess the problem first and let you know whether a repair handles it or whether a replacement makes more sense. Installation of a new unit is straightforward and usually completed in a single visit.
Your time matters, so we keep the plumbing job moving, and sometimes the right call is replacing a failing run of pipe rather than chasing leaks one at a time. Older supply lines made from galvanized steel or polybutylene eventually corrode or become brittle. When spot repairs are no longer keeping up, whole-house repiping gives the property a clean start. We assess what is in the walls before recommending the scope of work, and we explain the options clearly so you can make the call.
Low water pressure can trace back to a failing pressure regulator, a partially closed valve, or a problem further up the supply line. We diagnose the cause rather than guessing at a fix. Shutoff valves that are stuck, corroded, or no longer sealing properly are a separate issue worth addressing before they become an emergency. We replace valves throughout the house, including the main shutoff, and confirm everything operates correctly before we leave.
The homes and pipes in this area have their own history, and Draper's elevation and Salt Lake County winters shape the plumbing work that comes up most often here. Sub-freezing temperatures arrive reliably each year, spring snowmelt pushes water into basements and against foundations, and the rapid growth across the south end of the valley means newer construction sits alongside older infrastructure. These three services come up every season.
When temperatures drop hard, pipes in exterior walls, unheated crawl spaces, and garages are the first to freeze. A frozen pipe that thaws without splitting is a warning. One that bursts dumps water fast and causes damage quickly. When we come out for a burst pipe, the first step is stopping the flow, then assessing how much of the line is affected. We repair or replace the damaged section and check the surrounding pipe for stress before we close the job. If you are dealing with a burst pipe during our service hours, call immediately.
Spring snowmelt across Salt Lake County puts real pressure on basements and below-grade spaces. A sump pump is the practical answer when water finds its way in. Installation starts with assessing the sump pit, sizing the pump to the volume the space needs to handle, and routing the discharge line to a point where the water drains away from the foundation. We'll make your plumbing sound again.
Before the first hard freeze, exposed supply lines in crawl spaces, garages, and exterior walls are worth protecting. Winterization covers insulating those vulnerable runs, checking that shutoff valves are accessible and working, and confirming the system is ready for cold weather. Frost-free hose bib installation is a practical part of the same process for any outdoor spigot that is not already set up for winter. Call and we'll get your water back on.
We handle gas line repair and installation for appliances that run on natural gas, including water heaters and ranges. If a connection is leaking, a line needs extending, or a new appliance requires a gas hookup, we work on the line and the connection point. If you smell gas, leave the building and call the gas company before calling us.
Burst pipes, sewage backup, a water heater that has stopped working, or a major leak that cannot wait all qualify as plumbing emergencies. We take those calls every day from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM. When we arrive, we protect your floors and finishes while we work and move directly to diagnosing the problem.
Quick response. Clean work. Tidy finish.

The homes and pipes in this area have their own history, and so does every job. Pricing depends on what the work actually involves, and the only way to give you an accurate number is to hear the details. When you call, describe what is happening and where. We give you a rate on the phone, explain what it covers, and confirm the scope before anything is scheduled.
There are no estimates made up on the spot without the facts, and no work started before you know what it costs. Ask what it covers and you get a straight answer. For any job, large or small, the process is the same: call for a quote first.
Hire local and the work is done by someone who knows streets like yours. We serve Draper and the communities around it throughout Salt Lake County and into the northern edge of Utah County.
Nearby areas we cover include:
If you are just outside Draper and not sure whether we come to you, call and ask. We confirm the service area on the phone.
If you are dealing with leaks in multiple locations, persistent low pressure throughout the house, or discolored water that points to corrosion inside the pipe, a full repipe is often the more practical answer than repeated spot repairs. A partial replacement makes sense when the problem is isolated to one run of pipe and the rest of the system is in reasonable shape. We assess what is in the walls before recommending the scope, and we explain the options before anything is scheduled.
No hot water, water that does not reach the set temperature, a tank that is visibly leaking or corroding, or a unit that cycles on and off without maintaining temperature are all signs worth calling about. A repair often handles issues with heating elements, thermostats, or pressure relief valves. When the tank itself has corroded through or the unit is well past its useful life, replacement is the cleaner answer.
Tank water heaters and tankless units have different components and failure points. A tank unit may need a heating element, anode rod, or thermostat replaced, or sediment flushed from the bottom. A tankless unit requires diagnosing the ignition system, flow sensor, heat exchanger, or error codes specific to that model. We service both, and the repair process starts with identifying what the unit is actually doing before any part is touched.
Roots follow moisture and find their way into sewer lines through small cracks or loose joints, then grow inside the pipe until they restrict or fully block flow. The symptoms are slow drains across the house, gurgling sounds in the toilet, or a backup at the lowest fixture. We clear the root intrusion and assess the condition of the line to determine whether the affected section needs to be repaired or replaced.
A camera run through the line shows the interior condition of the pipe: the location and type of blockage, whether there are root intrusions, cracks, joint failures, or sections that have collapsed or shifted. It gives us a clear picture of what is causing the problem and where, which means any repair that follows is scoped accurately rather than guessed at. We use camera inspection before recommending sewer line repair or replacement.
Hidden leaks are located using pressure testing and electronic detection methods. Pressure testing involves isolating sections of the supply system to identify where pressure is dropping. Electronic detection uses sound and signal equipment to trace the leak path through walls or under floors without opening the surface unnecessarily. Once the source is confirmed, we explain what we found before any repair work begins.
Sediment buildup at the bottom of a tank unit reduces its effective capacity and forces the heating element to work harder, which shortens the hot water supply. A failing heating element or thermostat can produce the same result. On a tankless unit, flow sensor or heat exchanger issues can limit output. We diagnose the specific cause on the visit rather than replacing parts without knowing which one is responsible.
Clear the area around the water heater so there is enough room to work on all sides of the unit. Under sinks, remove cleaning supplies, bins, and anything stored in the cabinet. If the main shutoff or any other valve is behind stored items, move those too. Accessible work areas mean the visit moves faster and nothing gets damaged in the process of getting to the job.
A burst pipe, a major leak that cannot be controlled, a sewer backup affecting multiple fixtures, or a complete loss of hot water in a home are all situations that qualify. If the problem is actively causing damage or has made the property unusable, that is an emergency call. We take those calls every day from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM, and the job gets scoped on the phone so the visit is focused from the start.
Pipes in exterior walls, unheated crawl spaces, and garages are most vulnerable when temperatures drop hard. A pipe that freezes and then bursts releases water fast and can cause significant damage in a short time.
If you suspect a frozen or burst pipe, shut off the main water supply immediately and call us at (385) 993-9289.
Getting the water off before we arrive limits how much damage occurs while you wait.
Installation starts with assessing the sump pit, the volume of water the space needs to handle during snowmelt or heavy rain, and the discharge path. The pump is sized to that volume, set in the pit, and the discharge line is routed to drain away from the foundation. We assess the space and explain the options before recommending a unit, rather than defaulting to a standard size that may not fit the situation.
Frozen ground slows access to buried lines and makes trenching harder. Supply lines that have been exposed to cold may be more brittle than they appear, which affects how the repair is approached. We account for ground conditions when scoping work that involves outdoor or underground pipe, and we communicate any changes to the timeline before they affect the schedule.
The quoted price covers the scope as described on the call. If we open a wall or access the line and find a problem that is larger or different from what the call described, we explain the updated scope and confirm the revised cost before continuing. No additional work is started without your agreement. The call is where the job is agreed, and any change to that agreement happens in conversation, not after the fact.

| Service | What It Covers | Recommended For | Helpful to Know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Faucet & Fixture Installation |
| Homeowners updating fixtures or dealing with persistent drips | Bringing us in at the planning stage of a remodel means the rough-in is done correctly before the finish work goes in. |
| Water Heater Repair & ReplacementMost Popular |
| Any home or business without reliable hot water | Water heaters older than about ten years are worth keeping an eye on. We confirm hot water is restored before the job is closed. |
| Water Pressure & Shutoff Valve Repair |
| Homes with noticeably low pressure or valves that no longer turn or seal | A shutoff valve that will not close properly is a risk worth addressing before a pipe failure turns it into an emergency. |
| Emergency Plumbing |
| Any situation causing active damage or making the property unusable | We take emergency calls every day from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM. The job is scoped on the phone so the visit is focused from the start. |
| Frozen & Burst Pipe Repair |
| Draper properties dealing with pipe failures during or after hard freezes | Pipes in exterior walls, unheated crawl spaces, and garages are most vulnerable when temperatures drop. Shutting off the main supply before we arrive limits damage. |
| Pipe Insulation & Winterization |
| Draper homeowners preparing for winter before the first hard freeze | Outdoor spigots that are not frost-free are a common freeze point. Swapping them out is a straightforward part of the same winterization visit. |
| Drain Cleaning & Clog Removal |
| Any property with slow or fully stopped drains | Hydro jetting clears grease and root debris that a standard snake cannot reach, and it leaves the pipe walls cleaner than snaking alone. |
| Sewer & Main Line Service |
| Properties with slow drains throughout the house, sewage odor, or a backup at the lowest fixture | The sewer line from the house to the city connection is the full run we diagnose and repair. Camera inspection shows us the condition of the pipe before we recommend any repair. |
| Toilet Repair & Installation |
| Homeowners dealing with constant running, weak flush, or a toilet that needs replacing | A toilet that runs overnight can waste a significant amount of water before the bill reflects it. Most repairs are completed in a single visit. |
| Leak Detection & Repair |
| Homeowners noticing water damage, high bills, or sounds behind walls | We locate the source before opening anything up, which keeps the repair focused and limits how much wall or floor is disturbed. |
| Garbage Disposal Service |
| Kitchens with a disposal that has stopped working or started leaking | Many disposal problems are fixable without replacing the unit. We assess the problem first and explain the options before any work is scheduled. |
| Sump Pump Installation |
| Basements and below-grade spaces that take on water during spring snowmelt | Salt Lake County snowmelt puts real pressure on below-grade spaces each spring. Pump sizing is based on the actual volume the space needs to handle, not a default unit. |
What causes low water pressure throughout the house, and how is it fixed?
Low pressure that affects the whole house usually points to a failing pressure regulator, a partially closed main shutoff, or a supply line issue upstream of the home. Pressure that is low only at one fixture is more likely a clogged aerator or a problem with that fixture's supply valve. We diagnose the cause before recommending a fix, because replacing a regulator when the real problem is a valve that needs to be opened fully does not solve anything.
What is the difference between a tank water heater and a tankless unit, and which is right for my home?
A tank water heater stores a set volume of hot water and keeps it ready. A tankless unit heats water on demand as it flows through the system, which means it does not run out the same way a tank does but requires enough gas or electrical capacity to fire at the flow rate the home needs. The right choice depends on the home's hot water demand, the existing gas line or electrical setup, and the space available. We assess those factors and explain the options before recommending anything.
Cause Found Before Anything Is Replaced
We diagnose first and explain what we found before any repair is scheduled. You know what the problem is and what fixing it involves before any work begins.
How do I know whether a clog is in the fixture drain or further down the main line?
A clog that affects only one fixture, such as a single slow sink or a toilet that backs up on its own, is usually in the drain close to that fixture. When multiple fixtures are slow or backing up at the same time, especially the lowest ones in the house, the blockage is more likely in the main line. We confirm which it is before clearing anything, because the approach and the equipment involved are different depending on where the problem sits.
What does hydro jetting do that a standard drain snake cannot?
A drain snake breaks up or pulls out a blockage, but it leaves the pipe walls largely as they were. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the interior of the pipe, cutting through grease buildup, mineral deposits, and root debris that a snake pushes past rather than removes. It is a more thorough clean, and it makes sense when a line has recurring clogs or when a camera inspection shows significant buildup along the walls of the pipe.
Do I need to be home while the plumbing work is being done?
For most jobs, yes. Access to the affected area, the water shutoff, and any relevant valves is needed during the visit. For larger jobs that run across more of the day, we can discuss what access looks like and whether any part of the work can proceed without you present for every step. The scope and the access requirements are confirmed on the call before anything is scheduled.
Clean and Respectful Workmanship
We protect your floors and finishes while we work and leave the area the way we found it. The job being done does not mean the rest of the property has to show for it.
When does a dripping faucet or running toilet cross the line into something that needs a plumber?
A faucet that drips steadily or a toilet that runs after every flush is wasting water every hour it goes unaddressed, and both are worth fixing sooner rather than later. If you have already replaced the cartridge or the flapper and the problem came back, the issue is likely with the valve seat, the fill valve, or a component that needs a closer look. We handle both the straightforward fixes and the ones that turned out to be more involved than expected.
How long does a water heater replacement typically take?
Most water heater replacements are completed in a single visit, typically a few hours depending on the unit type and where it is located. Tankless installations can take longer if the gas line or electrical supply needs to be modified to meet the unit's requirements. We confirm the expected scope on the call and let you know if anything about your setup is likely to affect the timeline.
What causes a sump pump to fail, and how do I know mine is not working?
Sump pumps fail for a few common reasons: a float switch that is stuck or has shifted out of position, a motor that has burned out, a discharge line that has frozen or become blocked, or a pump that is undersized for the volume of water the space receives. Signs of a problem include water in the basement that the pump did not clear, a pump that runs constantly without lowering the water level, or a pump that makes noise but does not move water. If you are not sure whether yours is working, we can assess it on a visit.
Scope Agreed Before Any Pipe Is Cut
The price and the scope are confirmed before anything is opened up. If we find something different once the work is underway, we explain it and confirm the updated plan before continuing.
Is plumbing work in Draper subject to permits or inspections?
Some plumbing work requires a permit and inspection, and some does not. Whether a permit is needed depends on the scope of the job and whether it involves new construction, a significant alteration to the existing system, or a straightforward repair. We confirm what applies to the specific job before work begins, and any work that requires a permit is handled to the standard that an inspection covers.
What should I do if I smell gas near a water heater or range connection?
Leave the building without turning any switches on or off, and call the gas company from outside. Do not call us until the gas company has been out and the situation is safe. Once the line is cleared and it is safe to proceed, we handle the repair or replacement of the gas connection, line extension, or hookup. We work on the gas line and the connection point for appliances, and the gas company is always the first call when a smell is involved.
Call (385) 993-9289 and we will walk through what is happening, give you a rate on the call, and get the work scheduled at a time that fits.
