Plumbing services in Salt Lake City
From the repairs you planned to the ones you didn't see coming. Homeowners, landlords, and businesses across the city call the same number.
Burst pipes, sewer backups, overflowing toilets, and leaking water heaters. Around the clock, every day of the year, with a stocked van so most emergencies are fixed on the first visit.
Tank and tankless, gas and electric. Repairs when they make sense, honest replacement advice when they don't, and flushing to fight the scale that Salt Lake's hard water leaves behind. 5% off new units.
Kitchen sinks, showers, toilets, floor drains, and main lines. Augers for the simple stuff, hydro jetting for the buildup, and a camera when the same drain keeps clogging.
Video camera inspections show you exactly what's wrong before we recommend anything. Root intrusion and aging clay laterals are common in the city's older neighborhoods, and spring runoff exposes both.
Rising water bills, damp spots, and the sound of running water with everything off. We locate hidden leaks without tearing the house apart, then repair the line properly.
Kitchen and bathroom remodels, fixture replacement, garbage disposals, and full plumbing systems for new construction. We work with your contractor or handle it ourselves.
Plumbing here is different
Utah's climate, water, and housing stock create predictable stress points. Knowing them is the difference between fixing the symptom and fixing the problem.
Overnight temperatures drop below freezing most nights from December through February. Exterior hose bibs, irrigation lines, and pipes in uninsulated crawl spaces and garages freeze, expand, and crack. The damage usually shows up when things thaw.
We winterize systems before the first hard freeze and stay on standby all season for the burst pipes that follow a cold snap.
Snowmelt and spring rain push a lot of water through drainage systems, especially on the benches and foothills. Aging sewer laterals, root intrusion from mature trees, and blockages that went unnoticed in the dry months all surface at once.
Our camera inspections show you the line's real condition before we recommend a repair or replacement.
The valley's water is high in dissolved minerals. Scale builds up inside water heaters, faucets, showerheads, and appliance connections, cutting pressure, wasting energy, and shortening equipment life.
Water heater flushing, fixture cleaning, and softening or purification systems protect what you've already paid for.
Much of the Avenues, Sugar House, Capitol Hill, and Liberty Wells was built before modern plumbing materials. Galvanized supply lines, clay sewer laterals, and decades of add-on work are common behind the walls.
We've worked in enough of these houses to know what to expect, and how to repair without turning a small job into a demolition.
Why Salt Lake calls Reliable
Brody Gehring built Reliable Plumbing around a simple idea: show up, explain the work, and fix it properly. Brody started Reliable Plumbing in 2025 with more than ten years of plumbing already behind him, and the pitch hasn't changed: the person who answers the phone is the person who does the work.
Technicians arrive in marked vehicles, protect your floors, explain what they find, and give you options and pricing before anything starts. When the job's done, the space is left clean and the old parts are gone.
Not a call center, not a callback queue.
You approve the plan and the cost first.
So you're not calling about the same thing next season.
Downtown offices, restaurants, rentals, and single-family homes.
I had Brody come out to one of my properties downtown SLC. He was able to get parts, make the repairs, and stop water from going into another unit below. Very happy and so was the resident. Highly recommended.
Some things can't wait until morning.
