Local crews who know your Garden City home.
Garden City lives on the river. Older mid-century homes along Chinden, new lofts and live-work spaces on 36th Street, and Riverside Village condos that sit directly on the floodplain. Slab leaks, sump pumps and basement backflow valves come up here more than anywhere in the Treasure Valley. Our plumbers know the corridor cold.

What Garden City plumbing actually involves
Four conditions every Garden City home eventually faces.
Floodplain backflow & sump pumps
Riverside Village, Plantation and Lake Harbor sit on or near the floodplain. We install and service sewer backflow preventers, sump pumps and battery backup pumps every spring before runoff.
Mid-century galvanized supply
Pre-1970 homes off Chinden and Adams Street still run galvanized supply that's pinholing. We hydro-jet, line, and re-pipe in PEX without tearing up your floors.
Live-work and ADU plumbing
36th Street live-work spaces and ADUs across Garden City have non-standard fixture counts and unit-counts. We handle the permits and the unusual stack and vent layouts these buildings need.
Boise River freeze response
River corridor homes feel hard freezes a few degrees colder than central Boise. We freeze-proof crawlspaces and run 24/7 burst-pipe response across Garden City through every cold snap.
Why Boise families call us first.
For 25+ years, we've earned the Treasure Valley's trust one job at a time, with licensed plumbers, honest pricing and work that's guaranteed to be done right.
