The first ten minutes of a Middleton water emergency
Most of the damage in a plumbing emergency happens before the plumber arrives. Water keeps running and a small leak becomes a ruined floor.
If you are not sure which valve controls the house, call us and we will describe where to look.
Shut off the main valve
Turn the house main clockwise until it stops. If it will not move, leave it and tell the dispatcher.
Kill power near the water
Switch off breakers for wet rooms, the water heater, and any outlet near standing water.
Clear the area
Lift rugs, electronics, and boxes off the floor. Pull the kids and pets out of the wet room.
Call the 24/7 line
Dial (208) 679-8357. Tell us the street, the nearest cross street to Highway 44, and where the water is coming from.
Smell gas? Do not call us first.
Leave the building, then call the gas utility or 911 from outside. Call a plumber only after the gas company says the area is safe.
City water, a city bill, and the leak you cannot see
The City of Middleton draws its drinking water from 7 wells spread across town, according to its 2022 consumer confidence report. It bills water, sewer, and trash together through City Hall at 1103 West Main Street, (208) 585-3133.
That billing setup gives you a simple test. If your bill climbs and nothing in the house changed, shut off every fixture and watch the meter. A moving dial means water is escaping somewhere on your side, and that is a leak detection job. If the leak is between the meter and the house, our water service line repair page explains the fix.

For trouble in the street, such as a main break or low pressure on your whole block, the city runs an after-hours public works line at (208) 921-0029. Call us when the problem is on the house side.
Who to call first, by symptom
| What you see | First call | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Water pouring from a pipe inside the house | Us, after you shut the main | The break is on your side and needs a repair |
| Whole street has no water or low pressure | City public works after-hours line | The cause is likely in the public system |
| Sewage coming up a floor drain | Us, right away | A blocked house line needs a cable or jetter |
| Smell of gas | Gas utility or 911 | Leave the building first, plumber later |
| Water bill jumped, no visible leak | Us, for a leak check | A hidden leak is the usual cause |
Call the 24/7 line now. A plumber can talk you through the shutoff before anyone arrives.
Water heaters, drains, and what Middleton calls us about
Hot water trouble leads the list, then drains, then hidden leaks. A tank that drips from the bottom seam is finished, and a tank that only lacks hot water often needs a part. Our water heater repair page helps you tell the two apart, and water heater replacement covers what happens when it is time for a new one.
Plumbing work in Idaho needs a state permit, and a city building permit may not stand in for it. Ask the Middleton Building Department what it wants on your project, and ask any plumber, us included, how the state permit and inspections will be handled.
Tank leaking
Shut the cold supply to the tank, switch off its power or gas control, and call. Do not wait for it to dry up.
Drain backing up
Stop running water. If the lowest drain backs up first, the main line is likely blocked. See drain cleaning.
Pipe burst
Main off, breaker off, towels down, then call.
Reaching you from Highway 44 and exit 25
State Highway 44 runs through Middleton and meets Interstate 84 at exit 25, roughly three miles west of town. Our shop in Star is about six miles east along the same road.
Tell the dispatcher which side of Highway 44 you are on and the nearest cross street.
An old town does not tell you what is under your lot
Middleton is the oldest settlement in Canyon County, with land first parceled out in 1863 and a grist mill running by 1871. A flood in 1872 cut a new river channel and pushed settlement away from the original site after 1880.
That history says very little about the pipes in your house. A sewer camera inspection shows the real condition of a house line in minutes, so you can decide whether to repair, clean, or leave it alone.
Nearby towns and how to reach us from them
Caldwell is the next city west, and people there sometimes ask whether we can come out too. Meridian and Nampa come up the same way. Call, and the dispatcher will say plainly whether we can take the job.
Our page for Eagle, Idaho covers the other side of Star.

Start with the City of Middleton. Its after-hours public works line is (208) 921-0029. If the city says the problem is on your side of the meter, call us.
Same-day appointments are available when the schedule allows. We confirm the tank size, fuel type, and venting on the phone, and we explain the price before we begin.
A hidden leak is the most common cause. Turn off every tap and appliance and check whether the meter still moves. If it does, the leak is somewhere between the meter and your fixtures, and we can find it with listening gear and pressure tests.
Search the license online with the Idaho Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses, or call (208) 334-3233. You can do this for any plumber, including us.
