Trusted Plumbing in Orem
Serving Orem · Utah County, Utah
Orem is our highest-volume service city in Utah County and one of the most varied. The neighborhoods surrounding UVU and near Carterville Road have large populations of rentals and student housing, which means we are routinely dispatched for after-hours disposal jams, overflowing toilets, washer drain backups, and water heaters that have been neglected for a decade. The older east-bench streets up toward Orchard Drive hold original 1950s and 1960s homes with cast iron drains starting to scale shut. Central Orem along State Street and the side streets east of I-15 has a massive stock of mid-century ramblers where we replace water heaters, tubs, and main line drain-cleaning regularly. The newer developments on the foothills above 800 North deal with higher static pressure and need PRVs inspected. Hard water plus older supply lines means a steady diet of repipes here too.

Orem Plumbing FAQ
Questions we actually hear from Orem homeowners.
Do you handle rental property and student housing plumbing in Orem?
Yes. We work with a number of landlords and property managers around UVU and on the west side of Orem. We can set up direct billing to the owner, provide tenant-friendly appointment windows, and document everything for your records. After-hours calls from tenants are handled the same way — we fix the problem, stop the damage, and invoice the owner. No surprises.
How often should Orem homeowners flush their water heater?
At least once a year, and twice a year if you do not have a water softener. Orem water carries enough calcium and sediment that an unflushed tank loses a third of its heating capacity inside three years. Sediment piling up on the bottom also hammers the element or gas flue every time the burner fires. A modest annual flush adds years to the tank and cuts your monthly gas bill.
Why do my Orem kitchen drains back up even after I clear them?
In mid-century Orem ramblers with cast iron, snaking the line only punches a hole through the grease and scale — it does not restore the pipe diameter. Within weeks you are clogged again. We run a sewer camera to confirm the issue, then hydro-jet the line to scour it back to bare pipe, or, if the cast iron is too far gone, cut out the section and replace it with modern PVC. The difference after a proper cleaning is dramatic.
