What Eagle homeowners ask us about most
Water heaters come first. When a tank fails, you lose hot water and sometimes your garage floor too. Then come stubborn drains, water that shows up where it should not, and the slow mystery of a bill that keeps rising.
Water heater down
No hot water, a pilot that will not hold, or a puddle at the base. Start with water heater repair.
Drain that keeps coming back
A repeat clog means something is catching debris. We cable it, then look with a camera. See drain cleaning.
Meter moving with taps off
Water is leaking somewhere you cannot see. Our leak detection work finds it without opening walls blindly.
Pipe burst or sprayed
Shut the main, kill the breaker, call. Our burst pipe repair page explains what follows.
Check your bill before you call anyone about the water
Eagle Water Company serves Eagle and is regulated by the Idaho Public Utilities Commission, but providers vary by address. Your bill tells you which one is yours.
That matters in an emergency. If the problem is at the street or the meter, the utility on your bill is who to call. If water is running inside the house or between the meter and the house, it is your repair, and that is where we come in.

Repair or replace: a water heater decision aid
| Symptom | Likely direction | What we check |
|---|---|---|
| Tank leaks from the bottom | Replace | A leaking tank is rusted through and cannot be patched |
| No hot water, tank is dry | Repair | Thermostat, element, or pilot parts |
| Rusty hot water only | Inspect | Anode rod and tank condition |
| Water too hot or too cool | Repair | Thermostat and mixing valve |
If replacement is the answer, water heater replacement walks through sizing, venting, and what the permit involves. Idaho requires a plumbing permit for this kind of work, and it is worth asking any contractor, us included, who will pull it and who will schedule the inspection.
Call the 24/7 line. We handle night and weekend emergencies, and we state the price before we start.
Living near the river: flooding and sump pumps
Flooding along the Boise River has been a recurring issue in Eagle, even with Arrowrock Dam and later dams. If your home sits on low ground near the water, a wet crawlspace or basement is a real possibility in a wet season.
A working sump pump is the first defense, and a backup power plan is the second. If yours stops or gets overwhelmed, call us and see sump pump installation and repair. We cannot say what the ground is like under your lot, so ask us to check the pump, the discharge line, and the float before the wet season, not during it.
Eagle Road, Highway 44, and getting a plumber to your door
Eagle Road and State Highway 44 are the main routes through town, and Star lies about seven road miles west along 44. Give the dispatcher your cross street off one of those two roads and the name of your subdivision.
We do not promise an arrival time, because the road and the job in front of us both change the answer. We will tell you honestly what to expect when you call.
What to do before we arrive
Close the main valve
Turn it clockwise. If it is stuck, do not force it.
Switch off nearby power
Breakers for the water heater and wet rooms go off. Stay out of standing water.
Clear the floor
Move furniture, rugs, and boxes. A wet vac helps if the outlet is dry and far from the water.
Call the 24/7 line
Dial (208) 679-8357 and tell us what you see.
Gas smell
Get everyone outside and call the gas utility or 911 first. Plumbers come second.
Neighbors beyond Eagle
Meridian and Nampa neighbors sometimes ask if we can reach them, and Caldwell too. Call with the address and we will say honestly. For homes west of Star, see our Middleton page. Eagle homeowners should know that Idaho adopts the 2015 Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC) as its State Plumbing Code, so plumbing work here follows the same permit and inspection rules as in Star.
Eagle plumbing questions, answered
Eagle has one ZIP, 83616, and we cover it. We also serve neighboring 83669 for Star and take calls from 83646 in Meridian. Call with your address and we will confirm.
Yes. The line is open 24/7, every day of the year. Call and describe what you see, and we will talk you through the shutoff and give a clear price before work starts.
Look at your water bill. Providers vary by address in Eagle, so the name printed on the bill is the one to call about problems at the street or meter.
Turn off power to the area if you can do it safely, and stay out of water near outlets. Then call us. If the water is coming from a pipe, we will find it. If it comes from the ground, a sump pump is the likely fix.
Idaho requires a plumbing permit for this work, and a local city permit may not replace the state one. Ask your contractor who pulls it and who requests the inspection. Homeowners may buy a permit for their own residence only.
Ask which side of the meter or property line the problem is on. If it is the utility's side, call the provider named on your bill. We tell you plainly when a repair is not ours to make.
