Dispatched from Riverton
Our address is 2600 W 12600 S. Riverton calls are not routed from another metro, and the four towns that border us are an easy hop.
A clear price first
You hear the price before work starts. If the job changes once a wall is open, we stop and tell you before going further.
We find the cause
A damp ceiling is not always the pipe above it. We trace the source with the right tools so you do not pay to fix the wrong thing.
Honest repair or replace advice
A ten-minute fix beats a new fixture when it will last. When it will not, we say so and explain why.
From your call to a finished repair

Tell us what you see, hear or smell. If water is moving, we help you shut it off first.

Cause found, price stated
The plumber diagnoses the problem and gives you a clear price before work starts.
Fixed and cleaned up
We repair, test, clean the work area and explain what to watch over the next few days.
What Riverton homeowners should know about their pipes
Hard water is normal here
Riverton buys its drinking water wholesale from the Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District. The city's 2022 water quality report lists average hardness of about 190 mg/L, roughly 11 grains per gallon, so scale in water heaters and faucets is a real wear factor.
Two water systems, two shutoffs
Culinary water runs inside the home. Secondary irrigation water runs the yard. The city asks residents to shut their secondary valves by March 15 each year, and activation is tentatively set for May 1, so spring is when sprinkler leaks surface.
You own the line from the meter to the house
The city is responsible for the water line up to and including the meter. The pipe between the meter and your home belongs to you, which matters when you find a wet patch in the front yard.
Sewer main versus your lateral
Jordan Basin Improvement District maintains the sewer main. The private line from your house to the main is yours. Standing water at your cleanout points to a blockage between the house and the main.
What to do while you wait
Shut off the water
Turn the main valve clockwise until it stops. For a single fixture, close the valve under it.
Stop using drains
If sewage or gray water is backing up, do not flush or run taps. More water only adds to the problem.
Mind the electricity
Stay out of standing water near outlets, appliances or a panel. Call the utility or 911 if water has reached live electrical.
Clear the area
Move rugs, boxes and furniture away from the wet zone, and take photos for insurance before cleanup.
Not sure if it is an emergency?
Call and describe what you see. We will tell you whether it needs a visit tonight or can wait for a same-day appointment.
