Sewer Line Repair in Boise, Idaho

Sewer Line Repair and Replacement in Boise

Consider a home in the East End, in the part of the neighborhood that filled in between 1900 and 1940, with a big old street tree in the parkway out front. Every few months the basement floor drain gurgles when the washing machine empties. Last week it came up instead of going down. The owner has snaked the line twice and tried an enzyme treatment, but the problem keeps returning, and the line between the house and the street is as old as the house. Nobody has ever looked inside it.

Boise sewer service is run by City of Boise Public Works Water Renewal Services, which cleans about 10 billion gallons of used water a year through more than 1,000 miles of underground pipe. The city says some of its infrastructure is nearing 100 years old and needs replacement. The line running from a house out to the street connection can be just as old: in a city where 6,024 homes date from 1939 or earlier and about 40 percent were built before 1980, plenty of those lines are the oldest plumbing on the property.

A sewer line replacement inside city limits is inspected by the City of Boise Building Division, whose plumbing inspections include a sewer service stage scheduled online or by phone with the city before the trench is closed.

Every sewer line repair in Boise starts with a camera, not a quote. We run it to the main, show you the footage, and say whether the problem is roots, a sag, a break, or a blockage hydro jetting will clear. Spot repair, trenchless lining or bursting where the line qualifies, and full replacement are all on the table. Written estimate first, free second opinion on any dig-up quote.
