(208) 993-0717Plumbing Services in Boise, Idaho
Boise homeowners face plumbing challenges unique to Idaho's capital, aging cast-iron and galvanized lines in historic North End and East End homes, hard mineral-heavy water from the Boise River aquifer that wears out water heaters and fixtures, freeze-burst risk during sub-zero January cold snaps, and tree-root intrusion in older sewer laterals along established streets. Newer subdivisions in Harris Ranch, Southeast Boise, and the Foothills bring their own concerns: pressure-regulator failures, expansion-tank issues, and tankless water heater servicing. Mountain Time Plumbing has worked on every era of Boise plumbing, knob-and-tube-era cottages, mid-century ranchers, and brand-new builds, and we stock the parts, cameras, and equipment to fix it right the first time. We answer the phone, show up on time, and quote the job before we start.

Local Plumbing Concerns
Hard Water from the Boise Aquifer
Boise's municipal water runs 8–12 grains per gallon hard, scaling water heaters, reducing fixture life, and leaving residue on glassware. A whole-home water softener typically pays for itself in extended appliance life.
Aging Sewer Laterals in Historic Neighborhoods
North End, East End, and Bench homes often have 60–100 year old clay or cast-iron sewer lines vulnerable to root intrusion and bellies. Camera inspection before purchase or major remodel is strongly recommended.
Frozen & Burst Pipes
Uninsulated crawlspace and exterior-wall pipes regularly freeze during January cold snaps. We thaw, repair, and re-insulate vulnerable runs to prevent repeat damage.
Pressure Regulator & Expansion Tank Failures
Boise municipal pressure can spike above 80 PSI in some zones. Failed PRVs and expansion tanks lead to dripping T&P valves, leaking fixtures, and shortened water heater life.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can a plumber get to my Boise home?+
We aim to get out the same day, and sometimes the next, depending on how the schedule looks. Calling earlier in the day gives you the best chance at a same-day slot anywhere in Boise, the North End, the Bench, Southeast Boise or the Foothills.
Do you work on historic North End and East End homes?+
Yes. We routinely service older Boise homes with galvanized supply lines, cast-iron drains, clay sewer laterals, and unique fixtures. We carry the parts and cameras needed for older systems.
How hard is Boise water and do I need a softener?+
Boise municipal water typically tests at 8–12 grains per gallon, moderately hard to hard. A whole-home softener extends water heater life, reduces fixture scaling, and improves laundry and dishwasher performance.
What does drain cleaning cost in Boise?+
Drain cleaning is priced by the job, not by the hour. Access, the length of the line, and what is actually causing the blockage all change the number, so we don't quote drains over the phone. A plumber looks at the line first and gives you a flat rate before any work starts.
Do you offer free estimates for water heater replacement in Boise?+
Yes. Water heater replacement estimates are free in Boise and we can usually install a standard 40–50 gallon tank the same day.
Are you licensed and insured in Idaho?+
Yes, Mountain Time Plumbing is fully licensed by the State of Idaho (licenses 066509 and 053573) and insured. We're happy to provide proof of insurance on request.
