Emergency Plumber in Eagle, ID

What counts as a plumbing emergency

A plumbing emergency is any problem that is damaging the house right now or making it unsafe to use. Water running from a broken pipe, sewage coming up a floor drain, a water heater leaking onto a garage floor and a toilet that overflows every time someone flushes all qualify. A dripping faucet usually does not.

The test we suggest is simple. If the problem gets worse every ten minutes, call the 24/7 line. If it has been the same for a week, it can probably wait for a same-day appointment when available, and we will tell you which on the phone.

• A burst or frozen pipe, see burst pipe repair.
• A main sewer line that backs up into the lowest drain, see sewer line repair.
• No hot water or a leaking tank, see water heater repair.
• A wet ceiling, a warm floor or a water meter that keeps spinning, see leak detection.
• A drain that will not clear after one try, see drain cleaning.

Eagle homes and the plumbing they tend to hide

Eagle is a city of about 30,000 people in Ada County, roughly ten miles northwest of downtown Boise, and its housing ranges from downtown cottages to custom homes on the Boise River. Different neighborhoods bring different plumbing questions.

Homes in Two Rivers were built roughly between 2000 and 2017, and The Shores followed from 2006 to 2019. A storage tank water heater lasts 10 to 15 years according to the U.S. Department of Energy, so an original heater in the older of those homes is at or near the end of its range and deserves an age check before it floods a garage.

The Shores and Banbury Meadows also run pressurized irrigation. That is a second pipe network in the yard, and a leak there can look like a plumbing leak in the house. When a bill jumps, we help sort out which network is losing water before anyone digs.

Downtown Eagle around Heritage Park is a different job. Small shops and restaurants put heavy use on kitchen drains and floor drains, which is why commercial plumbing calls start with grease and cleanouts. The Preserve near Linder Road and State Street has homes built about 2013 to 2018, where a first-generation fixture failure is more likely than old pipe.

Who supplies your water, sewer and gas matters on an emergency call

Water in Eagle comes from Veolia Water Idaho, from the City of Eagle's own system or from a private well, depending on the address. Sewer service in Eagle comes from the Eagle Sewer District, and natural gas comes from Intermountain Gas Company.

That matters at 2 a.m. because the utility owns the meter side and you own the house side. We do not guess where one ends and the other starts. We tell you what is on your side, and when the problem sits with the utility we tell you that too, so you call the right 24-hour line.

Licensed plumbers, and how you can check

Idaho plumbing work is licensed and permitted through the state Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses, called DOPL, not the city. Anyone can check a plumber's license with DOPL at 208-334-3233, and you should, whoever you hire. We are licensed and insured, and we are glad to be checked.

Idaho's State Plumbing Code is based on the 2015 Uniform Plumbing Code. Where a job needs a permit, we pull it. Homeowners may buy a plumbing permit for work on their own residence, but a city or county building permit does not replace it, so ask DOPL if you plan to do any of the work yourself.

Nearby towns we also serve
