Repairs, replacements & new plumbing
Shower valve acting up? Planning a basement bathroom? Start with the part of the house you’re working on. Each category opens our services and detailed repair guides.
Our research · 10,842 Holladay residential parcels
We matched county property records to Holladay’s city boundary. 5,389 of the 10,842 residential parcels date to the 1950s and 1960s alone. That’s nearly half the sample. Count everything built before 1980 and it reaches 71%.
For homeowners who want to keep an older bathroom, we offer shower-valve repairs, toilet rebuilds and fixture replacements. For the kitchen or basement you’re ready to change, we install the water, drain and vent piping, too.
A repair doesn’t need to become a remodel. We’ll tell you what can be fixed, what needs replacing and what each option costs.
Holladay’s building years
of the residential parcels
we counted predate 1980.
Mountain Man analysis, September 11, 2026: 2025 county assessor records joined to county address points inside Holladay’s official boundary. One primary address per parcel; housing units above zero; construction years 1800–2026. One invalid residential year was excluded. 7,660 ÷ 10,842 = 70.65%.
Parcels are not individual homes or apartments. These dates describe construction, not the age or material of plumbing currently installed. No owner information or individual property locations are published.

Holladay and Holliday aren’t interchangeable here. The city has an “a”; Holliday Water Company has an “i.” And the company supplies only part of the city.
Our map · Inside the city boundary
We overlaid the same 10,842 residential parcel address points on Utah’s 2024-reporting-year culinary service boundaries, clipped to Holladay. Every sampled point matched one provider area, with no overlaps.
Boundary records can lag service changes. Parcel counts differ from utility accounts and meters; this map does not establish who serves an individual property.
Aggregate data & source fingerprints ↗Softeners & drinking-water filters
Holliday Water’s 2025 plan describes treated Spring Creek water, Big Cottonwood Creek water delivered through Salt Lake City, and seasonal wells. Even within this one company, the supply has several sources.
We service and replace water softeners and install drinking-water filtration. We test your water before choosing equipment or a softener setting. A single “Holladay hardness” number would skip too much.
A small piece of the old irrigation system
The company’s plan identifies 46 homes that may use untreated Spring Creek overflow for garden and landscape watering. Availability varies; it isn’t a second drinking-water supply.
That’s a detail worth knowing when a property has an old watering connection: “Spring Creek water” can mean treated tap water or untreated irrigation water. The two connections must stay separate.

A water trade still explains who maintains certain mains. A century-old house hid a bar behind pocket doors. We went into the court record and historic-property files for these.
1921 · Big Cottonwood Creek
In 1921, Upper Canal Irrigation traded Big Cottonwood Creek water rights to Salt Lake City, reserving water for domestic use. Salt Lake agreed to build a piped distribution system and provide irrigation water along the canal.
Holliday Water Company formed in 1928 to manage the drinking-water share. A Utah Supreme Court opinion records piped deliveries to shareholders beginning in 1931.
The arrangement still comes up at City Hall. In September 2025, Holliday’s representative explained that Salt Lake maintains exchange-related mains along Holladay Boulevard, Highland Drive, Wander Lane and Gunderson Lane.
Ross Hame · Built 1922–1923
Ross Hame, above Spring Creek on Holladay Boulevard, had a basement ballroom and a Prohibition-era bar concealed by pocket doors. Beer taps and a tin-lined icebox were part of the setup.
The 2018 National Register record describes much of the house as remarkably intact. Its biggest interior changes were concentrated in the kitchen and two bathrooms. The upstairs bathroom had none of its original fixtures or fittings left.
The ballroom had changed, too: water damage led to carpet replacing its maple floor. The nomination doesn’t identify the source of that water.
Inside the house · National Register record, pages 7–8 ↗A 1924 architect’s sketch shows a doorway from the stair hall into a main-floor bathroom. The historic-property record says that doorway was never built.

5 project photosMillcreek · Nearby · Sep 6, 2026
We got called out to a home in Millcreek, UT because a few plumbing issues were stacking up at once. That is pretty common around here.
See the job & photos ↗The price, in plain terms
A quote for work at your Holladay home should make the scope clear. Check who handles access and patching, whether any further diagnosis costs extra, and what happens if opening things up reveals more damage.
Found a lower number? Ask us why ours is different. Bring both descriptions of the work. Compare the equipment, repair scope and exclusions before deciding what the difference buys. A higher price alone doesn't prove a better job.

Holladay plumbing questions
Water heaters, tankless systems, water softeners, household drains, toilets, shower valves, faucets, garbage disposals, leaks, pressure regulators and shutoff valves. We also install the water, drain and vent piping for basement bathrooms, kitchen remodels and other residential projects.
We repair individual shower valves, faucets, toilets and their connections, as well as plumbing complete bathroom remodels. A valve with available replacement parts may be repairable through the opening behind its handle. Our shower and tub guide covers those options; the valve’s condition determines which repair will work.
