Our plumbing services
Water heater repair and installation
A tank heater that has gone cold can be repaired or swapped for a new one, and a tankless unit can be installed or serviced, with the size matched to your household.
Drain cleaning
Clogs show up as slow sinks, standing water in tubs, overflowing laundry standpipes and gurgling main lines. Each can be cleared, and a camera reveals where a stubborn blockage is lodged.
Leak detection and slab leaks
A leak behind drywall or beneath concrete is hard to spot. Meter checks, pressure tests and listening gear narrow down the location, so only the section that needs it gets opened.
Sewer line repair
Inspection with a camera comes first, then the choice among clearing roots, fixing a single damaged stretch or putting in a new sewer line.
Repiping and water lines
Worn supply pipes come out in stages or all at once, and a new water line can be installed into the house as well.
Toilet, faucet and fixture repair
Dripping spouts, running toilets, shower handles that deliver scalding or cold water and disposals stuck on a hum are repaired where possible and replaced when a repair no longer makes sense.
Drinking water and irrigation water, both from the city
Nampa’s Water Division supplies over 9.7 million gallons of drinking water a day through over 600 miles of water lines. It also runs the city’s irrigation water, through over 530 miles of irrigation lines and more than 35,000 irrigation services.
The permit rule and its emergency exception
All plumbing piping and drainage work in Nampa needs a permit from the City of Nampa Building Department, unless it is a leak repair, a broken fixture replaced or a similar emergency repair.
A journeyman working for a licensed contractor
Nampa requires plumbing that needs a permit and inspection to be installed by a state licensed journeyman employed by an Idaho licensed plumbing contractor. The exception is an owner who will live in the dwelling for 180 days after the work is completed.
Idaho treats plumbing work without a required state license as grounds for civil penalties. To look up a license, open Search for a License on the State Plumbing Board page of the Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses.
Nampa homes built before 1960
About 15 in every 100 Nampa homes were standing before 1960 and more than 27 in every 100 before 1980, while half were built in or before 1998. Knowing roughly when your house went up helps a plumber know what to expect.
Our process
Describe the problem
Describe what you are seeing, whether water on the floor, a drain that will not clear or a stopped heater, and add the house’s approximate age and the spot where the trouble sits.
Hear your estimate
Your estimate comes by phone, and it is free, personal to your job and without obligation. Take your time to ask questions before you say yes.
The plumber does the work
Once you are happy with the estimate, a plumber comes to your home to do the job. Questions that come up along the way can go straight to the plumber.
Plan ahead with our free tools
Before calling, a Nampa homeowner can try any of five free tools from the menu. The Pipe Freeze Risk Checker takes on cold nights, and the Sewer Line Age Checker takes the house’s construction year as its starting point. A heater’s label goes into the Water Heater Age by Serial Number tool, while a tank is sized with the Water Heater Size Calculator and tankless units are compared with the Tankless Flow Calculator.
Frequently asked questions
What happens if plumbing work is done without a permit?
The city lists citations and fines and removal of the work among the costs. It adds that non-permitted work may delay the sale of a home, require permits and require the owner to bring the home into code compliance.
Can an owner install plumbing in their own home?
Yes, with a condition. The city allows plumbing installation by the legal owner of the home, but only if the owner will be living in the dwelling for 180 days after the work is completed.
Can pipes freeze in winter?
Yes. Close to one day in three in Nampa reaches freezing, and January lows average about 25°F. Pipes in an unheated garage, crawl space or attic and outdoor spigots are the exposed ones, and the freeze risk checker rates your own layout.
