Hand holding two removed chrome stops with broken cream CPVC elbows from Sandy UT remodel flood job

Mountain Man Plumbing removed these broken CPVC elbows and fixture stops after the Sandy, UT flood.

We got called out last minute to help with a leak in Sandy. The home was empty and under renovations, and the remodel crew had accidentally snapped off one of the fixture valves. That caused a pretty substantial flood. The piping was CPVC—one of those earlier plastic domestic lines that is not too common in Utah, but it still shows up.

This repair needed a time-sensitive response and careful work. CPVC gets brittle with age, especially with Utah’s dry heat sucking the moisture right out of it, so it cracks easily. We decided the smart move was not just a tiny patch. We opened the walls a bit higher, cut out a larger section of the old CPVC, and replaced a lot of it with PEX so the remaining brittle pipe would not keep failing on us.

We capped what needed capping in the main basement room, installed new quarter-turn fixture shutoffs where the old stops had been, tied the new PEX into the serviceable runs, restored water, and tested. If you have CPVC in your house, be aware of how fragile it can get. We left the lines sealed and the new valves ready for the remodel to move forward.

Mountain Man Plumbing 79 Google reviews Write a review Posted on Google Liz Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Super helpful and informative. Communicated well and was punctual! Posted on Google Nathan Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tyler from Mountain Man Plumbing replaced my in-house main water shutoff valve and the pressure reducing valve (PRV) with a very practical new system that enables me to view the line pressure coming in and any drops in pressure easily. Very good looking workmanship.

Prior to the work Tyler came out to my home and provided an estimate on the work, and stuck to the estimate. He's been easy to work with, cleaned up after himself, and also allowed me to change an appointment close to my originally planned estimate appointment over the phone. The website is also easy to use and efficient for scheduling an estimate. Thank you! Posted on Google Jeremy Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I had a great experience with Mountain Man Plumbing. Tyler showed up right on time, was professional, and got everything taken care of faster than expected—finishing the entire job in less than a day. He replaced our water heater, took care of the valves, and installed a new expansion tank, all with great attention to detail.

Everything is working perfectly now, and the whole process was smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend Tyler and the team if you’re looking for reliable, efficient plumbing work! Posted on Google Dana Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tyler was very professional, polite and honest. Instead of trying to sell me new parts or a whole new water heater he showed me that some of the heating elements just needed cleaned. I would recommend this company for anyone looking for honest help to get the right fix without getting ripped off. Posted on Google Kyle Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Honest, thorough (caught a problem a couple people had missed), on time/reliable Posted on Google Barb Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Efficient, clean, and knowledgeable. Posted on Google Wendy Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tyler was great! Hard to find a plumber who preps for a service call like he did. He asked questions before he came over to fix a shower valve so he could make sure he had the right parts for the fixture so he was as efficient as possible when he got here. Communication was great prior to the service call and during. Fixed everything I needed in a couple of hours for a very reasonable price. Posted on Google Ellen Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great service, fair pricing, quality work. I feel lucky to have found Tyler Nerdin at Mountain Man Plumbing! Posted on Google Karthik Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tyler was great. He kept his schedule and his work was flawless. Definitely knows his craft. Posted on Google Jon Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great service. Tyler updated everything that had been missed with my old water heater, even unplugged my floor drain. Highly recommended.
