(208) 285-8836Water, drains, sewers and water heaters for Boise homes and businesses, any hour of the day.
- Licensed and insured plumbers
- Same-day service when available
- 24/7 emergency dispatch
From Meridian it is roughly 8.4 miles to Boise. This is what happens after you call from a Boise address:
- Dispatch asks for the address and what you see, and whether water is still running.
- You hear an estimated arrival time that fits where you are in the city.
- A plumber serving your area finds the source, explains the options, and starts the repair once you agree.
Boise is large and varied, with homes, apartment buildings, offices and shops all in the same service area, so the sections below cover residential and commercial calls together.
Water damage restoration and cleanup in Boise
A failed supply line, an overflowing fixture or a leaking water heater can put water into floors and walls quickly. Stopping the source is the plumber's first job, and removing standing water and drying the materials follows. The sooner wet drywall, carpet and insulation are dried, the less chance there is of mold taking hold.
Businesses in Boise face the same sequence on a larger scale, with the added problem of closed doors and lost hours. For a shop, restaurant or office, the water damage service page explains the process and the commercial service page describes how repairs to building systems are handled.

Drain cleaning for Boise homes and buildings
Slow drains have a short list of causes: grease in kitchen lines, hair and soap in bathrooms, wipes and paper products in toilets, and roots in older outdoor lines. When one fixture is slow, the clog is near that fixture. When several clear slowly or back up together, the main line is the suspect.
The plumber chooses between a cable and a water jet after finding out which drains are affected. Buildings with many fixtures, like small offices and restaurants, often have grease or paper buildup that returns, and a camera inspection can show where. The clog and drain service page has the details.
A short call is the quickest way to find out whether your problem needs a plumber today.
Sewers, water heaters and softeners in Boise
Sewer line repair
Sewage coming up in a shower, a toilet that will not stop gurgling, or a lawn that stays soggy over the sewer path points to a main line problem. A video inspection finds the cause and the plumber lays out the repair choices. Read about sewer line repair and replacement.
Water heater repair
A pilot that will not light, a tank that rumbles, water that never gets hot or a puddle at the base are the common symptoms. The plumber checks the burner or element, the thermostat, the relief valve and the vent before recommending anything. The repair inspection page lists what is checked.
Water softeners
A softener removes calcium and magnesium before water reaches the pipes and heater. It is installed on the main line with a drain connection for the regeneration cycle. See softener and filtration for sizing and care.

The same dispatch line also handles fixture repair, hidden leak finding, replacement water heaters, water service lines, jammed disposals, repiping and tankless units. Gas hookups and concrete floor leaks are available too, through gas line repair and slab leak repair.

Emergency plumbing in Boise
These situations should be treated as emergencies, and the dispatch line is open all day and night for them:
- A burst or frozen pipe that is releasing water.
- Sewage backing up into a tub, floor drain or toilet.
- A water heater leaking from the tank.
- No water at all to the house or building.
- An overflowing toilet that will not stop.
- A broken supply line under a sink or behind a toilet.
Leave the building first if there is a smell of gas, avoid light switches, and call the gas utility from outside before calling anyone else. Where standing water reaches outlets, stay out of the room until the power is off at the panel.
For flooding, the main water shutoff is the first step. Turn it clockwise until it stops, open a low tap to drain the lines, and phone dispatch with what you see.
Water supply and hardness in Boise
Boise addresses are not all on the same system. Federal drinking water records list Veolia Water Idaho as the largest provider in the area, serving about 264,978 people, and Capitol Water Corporation as a smaller system serving about 9,000.
| Water system | People served |
|---|---|
| Veolia Water Idaho | about 264,978 |
| Capitol Water Corporation | about 9,000 |
Where to read your hardness figure
Hardness differs between water systems, and this page does not publish a single Boise number. Each provider posts an annual water quality report, and that report is the right place for the figure that applies to your address. A plumber can use that number to size a softener.
If you are weighing treatment equipment, read the report first, then call. The softener page explains how a plumber turns that figure into a recommendation.
Scale or low pressure in Boise?
Describe what you notice at the taps. The dispatcher will tell you whether it sounds like a heater, a softener or a pipe problem.

Questions about plumbing in Boise
Which water company serves my Boise address?
Federal drinking water records list Veolia Water Idaho as the largest system in the Boise area, and Capitol Water Corporation as a smaller one. Your water bill names the company that serves your address, and that company is the one to ask about water quality or a main break in the street.
Can a plumber help after water has soaked a Boise office or shop?
Yes. Commercial water loss starts the same way as a home loss: stop the source, then remove standing water and dry the materials. A plumber serving your area repairs the failed pipe or fixture, and the water damage page explains what removal and drying involve for the building itself.
Is the plumbing different in the older parts of Boise?
It can be. Boise has houses of many ages, and older ones are more likely to have original supply lines and drains that have been repaired in pieces over the years. The plumber looks at what is in your building and does not assume a pipe type from the neighborhood.
