Our plumbing services
Water heater repair and installation
Our water heater tools help you size a new one, and the work itself spans fixing a tank that leaks or no longer heats, replacing it, or putting a tankless unit where the tank stood.
Drain cleaning
A camera can trace a clog that keeps returning, and drain cleaning applies to slow kitchen sinks, backed-up tubs, gurgling laundry drains and main-line stoppages alike.
Leak detection and slab leaks
A damp wall, a floor that feels warm or a water bill that will not explain itself can all mean a hidden leak. Leak detection pins down the pipe, slab leaks included, before repairs begin.
Sewer line repair
Cracked pipe, invading roots or a sagging stretch can each block a sewer line. A camera inspection shows which, and the repair may be root clearing, a spot repair or a full replacement.
Repiping and water lines
When patching one more pinhole stops making sense, call to talk through new pipe for a single bathroom, a kitchen, the whole house or the service line from the meter.
Toilet, faucet and fixture repair
Faucets that drip, toilets that run and shower valves that wear get new parts or new fixtures, and the same goes for disposals that jam and outdoor spigots that leak.
A plumbing permit filed online
Caldwell’s Building Safety Division has its own plumbing permit, filed through the city’s online portal, for plumbing work that is not part of a building permit. Its residential lines include Sewer Line and Water Line, so sewer and water line work is covered by it.
Who may do plumbing work
Caldwell’s plumbing permit application asks for the contractor’s license number, and that license is the state’s to issue, since plumbing work in Idaho without the required license brings civil penalties.
Take the contractor’s name from the paperwork and look it up on Search for a License, the public search on the State Plumbing Board’s page at the Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses.
Our process
Tell us what is wrong
Call and tell us the problem, be it a leak, a sluggish drain, a dead water heater or something you cannot yet name. We listen first, then work out which service fits.
Get your free estimate
Nothing goes ahead until you say so. The estimate is free and personalized, it carries no obligation and it arrives before any work is agreed.
The plumbing work
After you accept the estimate, the plumber you were matched with carries out the work at your home from start to finish.
Caldwell homes by build year
Caldwell’s housing divides at 2002, with half built in or before that year, and homes from before 1980 come to a little under 3 in every 10. If you know when your own house went up, the sewer line age checker lets you enter that year.
Plan ahead with our free tools
Plumbing tools in the menu suit homeowners who like to plan first. Tank size comes from the size calculator, a unit’s fit for Caldwell’s 25°F January low from the tankless flow calculator, a heater’s age from the serial number decoder, how exposed pipes are from the freeze risk checker, and what a build year says about the sewer line from the sewer line age checker.
Frequently asked questions
Do pipes freeze in winter?
Yes. The pipes that suffer are those in an unheated crawl space, garage or attic, and in Caldwell they face about 114 days a year at or below freezing, along with January lows that average 25°F.
Can a tankless heater keep up with winter water?
Yes, if the unit is large enough. The tankless flow calculator treats Caldwell’s incoming winter water as 52°F, a 68°F rise to the 120°F setpoint, and two showers at once fall inside its large-unit band.
