Bountiful's Go-To Licensed Plumber

If you need a plumber in Bountiful, Right Way Plumbing is a licensed plumbing service handling everything from burst pipes and water heater repair to drain cleaning and emergency plumbing for homeowners throughout Davis County. Owner Scott Rasmussen has earned a 4.9-star rating across 140 Google reviews by showing up when he says he will, diagnosing the problem correctly the first time, and charging honest prices without the runaround. If you're dealing with a plumbing issue right now, call (801) 821-3149 and you'll reach a real person.

Bountiful's housing stock tells you a lot about what breaks and why. Most homes here were built around 1973, which means a significant portion of the city still has galvanized steel supply lines and cast iron drain stacks, . Those materials were built to last decades, but decades have passed. Galvanized pipe corrodes from the inside out, restricting water pressure and eventually failing at joints. Cast iron drains crack under Bountiful's freeze-thaw cycles. And the city's water doesn't help: at roughly 513 parts per million, Bountiful has some of the hardest municipal water in northern Utah, supplied by eight wells, Mill Creek, and the Weber Basin. That mineral load accelerates scale buildup inside water heaters, corrodes fixture valves, and clogs aerators faster than most homeowners expect. Scott knows these conditions because he's worked on these homes. Bountiful isn't just a service area for Right Way Plumbing; it's where the work actually gets done.

Plumbing Services Right Way Covers in Bountiful

Every service listed here is one Scott has done in Bountiful homes, not a template list copied from another site.

Emergency Plumbing

Burst pipes, sewage backups, and flooding don't wait for business hours. Right Way Plumbing is available every hour of every day, including weekends and holidays. Call and Scott will give you an honest assessment of urgency.

Water Heater Repair and Installation

Bountiful's hard water wears out water heater tanks faster than the national average. Scott diagnoses water heater failures on the first visit and carries parts for common repairs. When replacement makes more sense than repair, he'll tell you straight.

Drain Cleaning

Slow drains in older Bountiful homes are often cast iron lines with decades of buildup, not just a surface clog. Right Way clears blockages at the source so the problem doesn't come back in a week.

Leak Repair

A small leak in a galvanized pipe often means the pipe wall is compromised nearby. Right Way identifies the actual cause of the leak rather than patching the obvious spot and leaving the rest to fail.

Water Softener Installation

At 513 ppm, Bountiful's water is aggressive. A properly sized water softener extends the life of your water heater, fixtures, and supply lines. Scott installs and sizes softeners based on your household's actual water use.

Toilet and Fixture Service

From toilet installation to faucet replacements and garbage disposal repair, Right Way handles fixture work with the same attention given to larger jobs. No task gets handed off to someone less experienced.

Local Conditions

What Bountiful's Water Does to Your Plumbing

Bountiful City Water Department delivers water tested at roughly 513 ppm of dissolved minerals, around 38 grains per gallon. That number matters because the national threshold for "hard" water starts at 7 grains per gallon. Bountiful's water is more than five times that. Hard water leaves calcium deposits inside water heater tanks, reducing efficiency and shortening the unit's life. It clogs the small orifices in showerheads and aerators, gradually cutting water pressure until homeowners think they have a supply line problem when they actually have a mineral buildup problem. Tankless water heaters, while more efficient than tank models, are especially vulnerable to scale on their heat exchangers if they're not descaled on a regular schedule. Beyond fixtures, the mineral content in Bountiful's water reacts with older pipe materials differently than it does with copper or PEX. If your home was built before 1985, there's a real chance your supply lines are galvanized steel. Galvanized pipe looks fine on the outside until it doesn't, and by the time pressure drops noticeably, the interior corrosion is significant. Scott identifies galvanized supply lines as part of every diagnostic visit on older Bountiful homes so you know what you're actually working with.

Older Homes

Pipes in Bountiful's Pre-1980 Homes: What to Expect

Bountiful's median home construction year sits around 1973. That puts a large portion of the city's housing stock in an era before copper and PEX became the standard for residential supply lines. Here's what Scott typically finds in those homes: Galvanized steel supply lines corrode internally over decades. By the time they start leaking, the pipe wall is thin. Replacing one section often reveals that adjacent sections are in similar shape. Scott won't replace a single joint and call it done if the surrounding pipe is obviously compromised. Cast iron drain lines were standard through most of the mid-century. They last a long time, but they develop hairline cracks under the freeze-thaw cycles Bountiful sees every winter. Roots from mature trees, common in Bountiful's established neighborhoods, find those cracks. A slow drain in a 1970s home isn't always a clog; sometimes it's a root intrusion that no amount of drain cleaner will fix. Any plumbing work requiring modifications in Bountiful goes through the Bountiful City Building Department, which issues permits for plumbing alterations. Right Way handles permitted work correctly so your home's records stay clean for future sales or insurance claims.

Our Process

How Right Way Plumbing Handles a Service Call

  1. You call, we answer

    (801) 821-3149 connects you to a real person any time of day. You describe the problem, Scott or his team gives you an honest assessment of urgency, and you get a firm arrival window, not a four-hour range.

  2. Diagnose the actual cause

    Most plumbing problems have a visible symptom and an underlying cause. Right Way finds both before recommending anything. If the fix is simple, we tell you. If it's more involved, we explain why before any work starts.

  3. Fix it and confirm it's working

    The job isn't done until Scott has verified the repair holds. No patches that buy you six months. If a component needs to be replaced rather than repaired, we say so upfront.

Plumbing Emergencies: What Actually Can't Wait

  1. Shut off water immediately

    A burst pipe or major leak: turn off the main shutoff first, then call. Every minute of water flow is damage compounding. Know where your main shutoff is before you need it.

  2. Call before you assume the worst

    Not every leak requires a full pipe replacement. A lot of Bountiful homeowners have paid for more than they needed because they couldn't get an honest read over the phone. Scott will tell you the likely scope before he arrives.

  3. Some problems genuinely do wait

    A slow drain or a running toilet isn't usually a crisis. A sewage smell, visible water intrusion, or sudden pressure loss is. If you're unsure, call (801) 821-3149 and describe what you're seeing. We'll tell you straight.

Service Area: Bountiful and Nearby Davis County Cities

Right Way Plumbing is based in Bountiful and works throughout Davis County and the northern Salt Lake Valley. Cities regularly served include:

Questions Bountiful Homeowners Ask Right Way Plumbing

How hard is Bountiful's water and what does it do to my plumbing?
Bountiful's municipal water tests around 513 ppm, or roughly 38 grains per gallon. That's considered very hard. Over time it leaves calcium scale inside tank water heaters, which cuts efficiency and shortens the unit's life. It also clogs aerators and showerhead orifices, and it accelerates corrosion inside older galvanized pipes. If you're seeing white mineral deposits on fixtures or noticing reduced water pressure, Bountiful's water quality is usually part of the explanation. A water softener installation is often the most practical long-term fix.
My Bountiful home was built in the 1970s. What plumbing problems should I expect?
Homes built around that era in Bountiful typically have galvanized steel supply lines and cast iron drain stacks. Galvanized pipe corrodes internally over decades, reducing water pressure and eventually failing at joints. Cast iron drains develop hairline cracks under freeze-thaw cycles and can admit tree roots over time. Neither problem shows obvious external signs until failure is close. If your home hasn't had its supply lines or main drain stack inspected in the last several years, it's worth having Scott take a look before something fails unexpectedly. Contact Right Way Plumbing for an accurate assessment.
What should I do if I have a burst pipe or major leak in Bountiful?
Turn off your main water shutoff immediately. Locate your main water shutoff, commonly near the meter or inside the home, and turn it off, then call. Once water is shut off, call (801) 821-3149. Scott responds to emergencies any hour of the day, including weekends. Don't run water anywhere in the house until the damaged line is identified. If there's visible water intrusion near electrical panels or outlets, also shut off power to the affected area and stay out of standing water.
Do I need a permit for plumbing work in Bountiful?
It depends on the scope. The Bountiful City Building Department requires permits for most plumbing modifications, including new water heater installations, line replacements, and any work that alters the existing plumbing system. Simple fixture swaps like replacing a toilet or faucet typically don't require a permit. Right Way Plumbing handles permitted work correctly and pulls permits where required so your home's records stay accurate, which matters when you sell or file an insurance claim. Every job is different; Scott will confirm permit requirements before work starts.
How do I know if my water heater needs repair or full replacement in Bountiful?
A few clear indicators: rumbling or popping sounds from the tank usually mean heavy sediment buildup, often from Bountiful's hard water. Rust-colored water from the hot side, visible corrosion around the tank base, or a consistently inconsistent water temperature all point toward a failing unit. If the tank is more than 10 years old and showing any of these signs, replacement is usually more cost-effective than repeated repairs. Scott diagnoses on the first visit and gives you a straight answer. For more on this, see our water heater repair and water heater installation pages.
Can a plumber in Bountiful also service areas like Centerville or Farmington?
Yes. Right Way Plumbing works throughout Davis County, including Centerville, Farmington, Kaysville, and Layton, as well as parts of northern Salt Lake County. Bountiful is the home base, which means response times to surrounding Davis County cities are typically fast. Call (801) 821-3149 to confirm availability for your specific location.
What causes slow drains in Bountiful homes and when do they need professional cleaning?
In newer homes it's usually grease, hair, or soap buildup. In older Bountiful homes with cast iron drains, slow movement is often root intrusion or collapsed sections of pipe rather than a typical clog. Store-bought drain chemicals work on soft organic buildup but do nothing for roots and can actually accelerate corrosion in cast iron and PVC. If you've tried standard methods and the drain stays slow, or if multiple drains in the house are sluggish at the same time, call Right Way. Multiple slow drains often signal a main line issue, not isolated clogs. See our drain cleaning page for more detail.
