Drain Cleaning
Our professional drain cleaning services utilize advanced hydro-jetting technology to remove blockages and buildup in residential and commercial plumbing systems. Technicians employ high-pressure water to clear clogs caused by grease, debris, or root intrusion while minimizing pipe damage. With 70+ years of experience, we handle everything from routine maintenance to emergency drain backups, using specialized equipment like mini-hydro jetters and inline video inspection systems. Our certified team ensures proper drainage function for kitchens, bathrooms, and sewer lines across Southern Idaho.
Water Heater Repair
We offer comprehensive water heater services including repair, replacement, installation, and maintenance for both residential and commercial properties. Our certified technicians handle all types including tankless, electric, gas, and commercial systems. With factory authorization for major brands, we provide extended warranties on new installations and annual inspection programs. Our experts diagnose issues like insufficient hot water, unusual noises, or leaks while offering energy-efficient upgrade recommendations. Emergency services are available 24/7 with same-day appointments prioritized for critical failures.
Septic System Services
Our septic system expertise covers installation, pumping, repair, and maintenance for residential and commercial properties across Idaho. We handle conventional systems and advanced treatment packages including BioMicrobics FAST technology. Services include tank inspections, effluent monitoring, drain field repairs, and emergency septic backups. Certified technicians use specialized equipment for safe waste removal while complying with DEQ regulations. We offer scheduled maintenance programs to prevent failures and extend system lifespan, serving both rural and suburban properties throughout the Treasure and Magic Valleys.
Hydro Jetting
Our hydro-jetting services use high-pressure water systems to thoroughly clean sewer and drain lines in residential and commercial properties. This non-invasive method effectively removes grease buildup, mineral deposits, and root intrusions from pipes ranging from kitchen drains to municipal sewer lines. With equipment capable of 4,000 PSI cleaning power, we restore optimal flow capacity while minimizing damage to existing plumbing. The service includes pre- and post-cleaning video inspections to identify potential issues, making it ideal for both emergency clog removal and preventive maintenance across Southern Idaho.
Excavation Services
We provide precision excavation services for plumbing repairs and installations using both traditional and hydro-excavation methods. Our team handles water line replacements, sewer main repairs, and septic system installations with minimal property disruption. Hydro-excavation technology safely exposes underground utilities for precise repairs near energized lines. With modern equipment and experienced operators, we work on residential, commercial, and municipal projects across Southern Idaho. Services include main line replacements, drain field installations, and emergency excavation for burst pipes or septic failures.
