General Plumbing Services in Utah

Not every plumbing problem is a drain or sewer issue. Sometimes it’s a leaking pipe behind the wall, a running toilet that’s been wasting water for weeks, a faucet that won’t stop dripping no matter how hard you tighten it, or water pressure that’s dropped throughout your whole house for no obvious reason.

These are the kinds of problems that seem minor at first but get more expensive the longer they go. A small leak behind drywall can cause mold, wood rot, and structural damage before you even notice it. A running toilet can add hundreds of dollars to your water bill over the course of a year. The sooner you address it, the less it costs.

Drain Kingz provides professional plumbing repair, installation, and maintenance for homes, restaurants, commercial properties, and property managers across Salt Lake, Utah, Davis, and Weber counties. If it’s connected to your plumbing system, we can fix it.

Our Plumbing Services

We handle the full range of general plumbing work for residential and commercial properties. Here’s what we cover:

Common Plumbing Problems We Fix

Most plumbing issues start small and get worse over time. A drip becomes a leak. A slow fixture becomes a non-functional one. A minor annoyance becomes water damage and an insurance claim. Here are the problems we see most often and what they usually mean.

Dripping faucets

faucet that drips once per second wastes over 3,000 gallons a year. That’s not just a water bill problem. The constant moisture can damage your sink, countertop, and the cabinet underneath. Most dripping faucets are caused by worn-out washers, O-rings, or cartridge assemblies inside the valve. In some cases the faucet itself is corroded or outdated and a replacement makes more sense than a repair. We’ll assess what you have, explain your options, and handle whichever direction you choose.

Running toilets

A running toilet might seem like a minor annoyance, but it can waste 200 or more gallons of water per day depending on the severity. The most common causes are a worn flapper that doesn’t seal properly, a faulty fill valve, or a flush valve that needs replacing. These are relatively straightforward repairs, but diagnosing the right component matters. Replacing the wrong part means the problem continues and you’ve spent money for nothing. We identify the actual cause and fix it correctly so it stays fixed.

Slow or no hot water

If your hot water takes a long time to arrive, runs out faster than it used to, or isn’t getting hot at all, the issue could be coming from several places. The water heater itself may be failing, the dip tube could be broken, sediment may have built up in the tank, or the supply lines running to your fixtures could be restricted. We diagnose whether the problem is in the plumbing side or the water heater side and point you toward the right fix. If it turns out to be a water heater issue, we handle those too. Visit our water heater services page for more on that.

Leaking pipes

Not all leaks are visible. Many happen behind walls, under floors, in crawl spaces, or beneath your foundation where you can’t see them. The signs are often indirect: an unexplained jump in your water bill, damp or discolored patches on walls and ceilings, a persistent musty smell, or mold growing in areas that should be dry. By the time these signs show up, the leak has usually been going for a while. We use professional detection methods to pinpoint the exact location of the leak with minimal disruption to your home, then repair the affected section of pipe.

Water pressure drops

Losing water pressure can happen suddenly or gradually, and the cause isn’t always obvious. It could be corroded pipes restricting flow, mineral buildup from Utah’s hard water narrowing the line, a failing pressure regulator, a partially closed main valve, or an active leak pulling pressure away from your fixtures. If the drop is isolated to one fixture, the fix is usually localized. If it’s affecting your whole house, the problem is typically deeper in the system. We trace the issue back to its source and restore proper pressure.

Frozen or burst pipes

Utah winters are hard on plumbing, especially in homes with exposed pipes in garages, crawl spaces, exterior walls, or unheated areas. When water freezes inside a pipe, it expands and can crack or burst the line. If the pipe hasn’t burst yet but water flow has stopped, it may still be frozen and needs to be thawed carefully to avoid a rupture. If a pipe has already burst, you need to shut off the water and call us immediately. This is an emergency situation that can cause significant water damage in a short amount of time. Call (801) 335-9197 or visit our emergency plumbing page.

When to Call a Plumber vs. DIY

Some plumbing fixes are simple enough to handle yourself. Replacing a toilet flapper, tightening a loose connection under a sink, swapping out a showerhead, or plunging a minor clog are all reasonable DIY tasks. If the fix is on the surface and the part is cheap, it’s worth trying on your own first.

But anything beyond the basics can get complicated fast. Plumbing systems are interconnected, and what looks like a simple repair can turn into a much bigger issue if something goes wrong. Attempting pipe repairs without the right tools can cause water damage. Installing a fixture incorrectly can lead to leaks you won’t notice until the subfloor is ruined. And any work that involves moving or modifying supply lines or drain connections needs to meet Utah plumbing code requirements.

As a general rule, call a plumber when the issue involves anything behind a wall or under a floor, when multiple fixtures are affected at the same time, when you smell gas or sewage, when water is actively leaking and you can’t stop it, or when the fix requires shutting off your main water supply. If you’re ever unsure whether something is a DIY job or a professional one, give us a call at (801) 335-9197. We’re happy to talk through it and let you know if it’s something you can handle or if we should come take a look.

Residential and Commercial Drain Cleaning

We serve both homeowners and businesses with the same level of professionalism and urgency. The scope and demands are different, and we approach each one accordingly.

Homeowners And Landlords

From a single leaky faucet to a whole-home repiping project, we handle every job with care. We know that having a plumber in your home can feel disruptive, so we show up on time, keep the work area clean, explain what we find in plain language, and make sure the fix is done right before we leave. Whether it's a quick repair or a bigger project, we treat your home with respect.

Restaurants and commercial

Commercial plumbing systems see heavier use, serve more people, and have stricter code requirements than residential systems. A plumbing failure at a restaurant or business can mean lost revenue, health code violations, and unhappy customers. We handle repairs, fixture installations, and ongoing maintenance for commercial properties of all sizes, and we work around your operating schedule so your business stays open.

Property managers and HOA's

Managing multiple units means dealing with plumbing issues across different buildings, different tenants, and different systems. You need a team that responds quickly, communicates clearly, and gets the job done without callbacks. We work with property managers across the Wasatch Front and offer preventative maintenance plans that include annual inspections, priority scheduling, and member pricing to help you stay ahead of problems across your portfolio.
“Great company… They showed up after short notice. Told me what he was going to do to fix my clog and got it taken care of way faster than I thought. And the price reasonable. To be honest I wouldn’t mind paying a little more, just because of the work ethic.” – Doug Silva
