Our plumbing services
Water heater repair and installation
For a heater that runs out of hot water, leaks at the base or pops and rumbles while heating, tank or tankless, we arrange repairs and same-size replacements. Tankless installs sized to your household are part of the work.
Drain cleaning
Clogs in the kitchen sink, the tub, the laundry standpipe or the main line under the house. A cable or a water jetter opens them up, and slow drains at several fixtures at once can mean the main line is the problem.
Leak detection and slab leaks
Unexplained jumps in the water bill, running water you can hear with every tap shut, or a warm patch on a tile floor. The plumber pins the leak down with pressure tests and acoustic gear and opens only what the repair needs.
Sewer line repair
Backups, gurgling toilets and soggy patches in the yard can all start at the sewer line. A camera shows what is wrong before anyone digs, and the fix can range from root cutting to a new line.
Repiping and water lines
Copper or PEX run fresh through the walls when patch after patch has not stopped the leaks, whether that covers a single bathroom or every line in the house. A new buried service line from the meter is part of this work too.
Toilet, faucet and fixture repair
Toilets that keep refilling, taps that drip, showers that can’t hold a steady temperature and disposals that hum but won’t spin. We arrange the repair, or a replacement fixture when the part has gone out of production.
Meridian’s water and irrigation lines
The City of Meridian owns, operates and maintains its own groundwater pumping and treatment facilities, along with the network of distribution lines that carries that water across the city.
The same city code covers the irrigation side: drinking water may not be piped into a home’s pressurized irrigation system. The re-pipe page has the details.
Home age and plumbing work
Half of Meridian’s homes were built in or before 2006. Even so, a tank can wear out, a kitchen drain can clog with grease and a valve can start to drip in any house, new or old, and each of those is covered by the services listed above.
Plumbing permits in Meridian
Meridian’s city government issues its own residential plumbing permits, and its Existing/Remodel permit is the one for improvements to a home that is already built.
Checking who works on your plumbing
Idaho asks for a state-issued license before a person does plumbing work, and doing that work without one can bring civil penalties.
The State Plumbing Board sits within the Idaho Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses (DOPL). Its website has a Search for a License page where you can type in a plumber’s name and see the license record.
Our process
Tell us what is wrong
Give us a ring and describe what the leak, clog or noise is doing, which part of the house it is in and when it began. That lets us connect you with a plumber who takes on that kind of job.
Get your free estimate
A free, personalized estimate comes first, along with a plain account of what the job takes. Agreeing to it is entirely up to you, with no obligation to decide on the call.
The plumbing work
When the plumber arrives, the repair or installation you approved gets done, and you see the result before anyone packs up. Anything close by that looks worn is pointed out so you can plan for it.
Plan ahead with our free tools
Planning is easier with numbers in hand, and this site has five free tools for it. A household weighing a new heater can start with the size calculator, or with the tankless flow calculator if a wall-hung unit appeals. The label on an existing tank goes into the serial number decoder. Crawl space pipes on a January night are the job of the freeze risk checker, and the drain pipe leaving the house is what the sewer line age checker looks at.
Frequently asked questions
Does starting work without a permit cost more?
Yes. The City of Meridian’s plumbing fee schedule says that when work begins without a permit, double the permit fee is the minimum charge.
Does a journeyman plumber have formal training?
Yes. In Idaho, a journeyman works as a registered apprentice for 8,000 hours alongside four years of approved schooling, or for 16,000 hours, and then passes an exam from the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO).
Do pipes freeze in Meridian?
Yes, they can. January nights in Meridian average a low of 25°F, and roughly 112 days each year dip to freezing or below. Supply lines in a crawl space, garage or attic, and hose spigots on the siding, give up their warmth sooner than lines tucked inside heated rooms.
