Reviews say it best when looking for a local plumber “Find someone who will be in your house more than your spouse.” All jokes aside, when your pipe springs a leak or your water heater starts pumping flaming torrents of revenge all over your garage, you want someone fast. You want experienced. You want local.
Leaks can cause thousands of dollars in damage per hour to your drywall, flooring and the structural integrity of your home. The best thing you can do as a homeowner is to find a professional before that small drip under the kitchen sink turns into a fountain of destruction.
Unfortunately, if you simply call the first person who answers their phone, you’ll likely be overcharged, receive low-quality service, or simply get a “band-aid” for your problem that will cause you to have to call another plumber in six months. You need someone who understands the unique topography of the Salt Lake Valley and how to provide solutions that will last through our harsh climate.
How do you know who that plumber is? As a local homeowner, you are faced with advertisements and big brand names daily, but what makes one company shine above the rest? Here at Frontier Plumbing, we are held to higher standards both in and outside of the workplace. Take a look at how we maintain those standards and why we think you should be researching us for all of your residential and commercial plumbing needs.
Who Does West Jordan Actually Benefit From Using?
You know how we mentioned how difficult it can be for homeowners to find a good plumber? It’s because there are SO many options for you to choose from. Don’t worry though, once you understand what makes a good plumbing company you’ll be able to eliminate the majority of them and find a local gem like Frontier Plumbing.
The climate of Utah can be hard on your home plumbing. We experience freezing cold winters that can cause exposed pipes to shrink, freeze, and burst if they’re not properly taken care of. Water damage is every homeowner’s worst nightmare and a qualified West Jordan plumber knows how to insulate and direct your pipes to eliminate the chances of this happening. Not only will they know how to winterize your home, but should an emergency happen, they’ll be able to provide quick service to restore your water systems.
Another unfortunate thing we find ourselves battling up here in Salt Lake County is hard water. The naturally occurring mineral composition of our local municipal water causes it to be incredibly hard on your water heaters, faucets, and even the inside of your pipes. A quality West Jordan plumber will understand how to install water softeners and treat your entire plumbing system to best equip them for our mineral heavy water.
Last but certainly not least, every city you go to has different building codes and permit requirements. Frontier Plumbing is locally owned and operated which means we stay 100% up to date on the city of West Jordan’s requirements. We guarantee every job we do from installing that new tankless water heater to replacing your sewer line will pass municipal inspection the first time!
How Do You REALLY Know They Are Legit?
While advertising helps narrow down your options, you still need to dig a little deeper. All plumbers in Utah are required to be licensed by the state and insured. You should always ask to see a contractors license when meeting with technicians at your home. Give the number to your state licensing division to verify it is active. (License numbers can be found here).
In addition to a license, make sure any plumbing service you’re considering also has up to date general liability and worker’s compensation insurance. If an accident were to happen in your home, you don’t want to be liable or responsible for any medical bills or damage caused. Don’t be afraid to ask to see proof of insurance!
Frontier Plumbing takes pride in making sure our employees are up to date on the best training the industry has to offer. Not only will we always have licenses and insurance to show you, but every technician that comes to your home is certified and ready to take on any complicated diagnostic problem!
Should You Trust Online Reviews?

Online reviews can be an excellent tool when you’re looking to find a trusted local company. We recommend looking at reviews of your chosen West Jordan plumber on Google, Yelp, and the BBB. Look for consistent themes in how the company conducts their daily business. Do they show up on time? Are they respectful of your home? How well do they communicate?
We suggest reading reviews that aren’t super positive as well to see how a company interacts with unhappy clients. The highest rated companies will have an occasional negative review, that’s inevitable with any business. However, take note of how the company responds to those reviews and how they attempt to make the situation right.
Frontier Plumbing has been the go-to plumbing company in our community for years. You’ll notice one common theme throughout all of our reviews; our communication and respect for you and your home. Our technicians are known for showing up on time, wearing shoe covers, and cleaning up before they leave!
Do You Need an Estimate or Can You Give Me a Price Quote?
Here’s the worst part about plumbing. Let’s say you called a plumber right now and they told you they could come to your house within the hour. Great! But when they get here they need to assess the damage before they give you a quote. Waiting any amount of time after they provide you that quote is just torture. Am I covered by my warranty? What if they’re overcharging me? Will my kids somehow break more stuff while I’m home worrying about this?
That’s why we’ll walk you through everything step by step at Frontier Plumbing and give you a price quote before we start the repair. Transparent pricing means you won’t get a smaller bill. We simply believe you deserve to know what the repair or installation will cost before we come to your house.
Another great thing about shopping around for a plumber is you’ll quickly learn if they use flat-rate pricing or hourly. HOURLY rate pricing is much more lucrative for the company because there is no incentive for them to get your job done quickly. That’s why we use flat-rate pricing. It might take us an hour to complete your job, but that’s the price you were quoted whether we get there tomorrow or next week.
