In the early 1900s, indoor plumbing as we know it today, was a rare luxury. Running hot water, indoor toilets, and modern plumbing codes simply did not exist. It is difficult for us to imagine life without these conveniences, which have become so routine that we seldom pause to appreciate them. The bathroom, often the first room we visit in the morning and the last one we use at night, is one of the most frequently occupied spaces in any home. Yet we hardly think about the systems that keep it functioning until, of course, something goes wrong.

When we turn on the tap expecting a stream of hot water and are met instead with a stream of bone-chilling cold water, our minds may jump to dramatic conclusions: catastrophe, disaster, the end of the world as we know it. In reality, the explanation is usually far simpler: the hardworking water heater tucked away in the basement, faithfully serving the home for the past decade, finally needs some attention. When that moment comes, there is one company that has been ready to answer the call for more than 100 years.

In 1915, Kasper Bachman founded K. Bachman & Son Plumbing and Heating. Milton Kasper Bachman became one of the first licensed plumbers in the state of Utah, receiving his Journeyman Plumbing License on August 5, 1937. Since then, the plumbing industry has changed dramatically. Yet through every advancement and every challenge, a member of the Bachman family has continued to serve the plumbing needs of Northern Utah.

Today, Mike Bachman Plumbing proudly carries forward that legacy. Mike Bachman, his son Vic Bachman, and three of Vic’s sons, Chad, Mason, and Brandon, along with a dedicated team of skilled professionals they fondly refer to as their “plumbing family,” remain committed to the same values established in 1915. If you find yourself without hot water or stepping into a wet basement, Mike Bachman Plumbing is ready to help.

The company continues to provide the latest technology, high-quality parts, and superior workmanship. Their licensed plumbers will visit your home, offer a Straight Forward Price before any work begins, and assist you with all your plumbing needs,  just as the Bachman family has done for more than a century.
