Meridian Plumber | Water Heaters, Drains & Leak Repair

Meridian plumbers for subdivisions that are coming of age

Meridian grew faster than almost any city in the state, and a lot of that housing was built in a hurry between the late 1990s and today. The first wave of those homes is now at the age where builder-grade water heaters, fixtures and softeners are wearing out at the same time.

What we see in Meridian

The majority of our Meridian calls come from homes built after 1995. Supply lines are PEX or copper, drains are plastic and sewer laterals are PVC, so the catastrophic pipe failures of older Boise are rare here. What fails instead is the equipment. Builder-grade tank water heaters installed around 2005 to 2012 are reaching the end of their lives, often on schedule in the first cold week of the year. Entry-level softeners that were sized for the model home rather than the family living there have stopped keeping up. Pressure regulators at the main are drifting high enough to shorten the life of everything downstream.

Slab-on-grade construction is common in Meridian, so when a copper line does fail it’s usually under the floor. We locate those electronically and typically reroute rather than cut concrete.

Older Meridian

Old Town Meridian and the neighborhoods along Cherry Lane and Franklin Road predate the boom and behave more like the Bench in Boise: some galvanized pipe, original cast iron under the house and older sewer laterals. We camera those lines before recommending anything.

Services Meridian homeowners call for

Same-day water heater replacement, tankless conversions in larger south Meridian homes, properly sized softeners and reverse-osmosis taps, drain cleaning, slab leak detection and emergency service. Meridian is close enough to our Boise shop that emergency response is typically fast.

Permits in Meridian

The City of Meridian issues plumbing permits for addresses inside city limits; some outlying subdivisions fall under Ada County. Water heaters, repipes, gas work and sewer repairs require a permit and inspection, which we handle and include in the quote.

Heater died on a Sunday night. Carlos was there Monday morning with a new unit on the van, had it installed by noon and hauled the old one away. The quote he gave on the phone was the price we paid.

Our water bill doubled and we couldn't find a drip anywhere. The tech located a slab leak under the hallway with his listening gear, rerouted the line through the attic and we never had to break the floor.
