Before anyone arrives

What to do in the first five minutes

Most plumbing damage comes from water that keeps running after the problem starts. These three steps cover the most common emergencies in a Caldwell home.

1

Water is spraying or pooling

Turn the main shutoff clockwise, open a low faucet and keep clear of wet outlets.

2

A drain is backing up

Stop using water everywhere in the house until the line is cleared.

3

No hot water

Check the breaker or pilot, and shut off the water if the tank is leaking.

4

You smell gas

Leave the building, then call 911 and your gas utility from outside.

Caldwell plumbing facts

What Caldwell homes and weather mean for your pipes

Caldwell has about 22,400 housing units, and the Census Bureau's 2020 to 2024 estimates show about 56 percent were built in 2000 or later while about 29 percent date from before 1980. Older homes tend to bring cast iron drains, galvanized supply pipe and original valves, and newer ones bring PEX, tankless heaters and irrigation systems.

Winter matters too. NOAA normals for the Nampa station, about 7 miles east, show roughly 132 days a year at or below freezing and a January average low near 23 degrees F. Pipes in garages, crawl spaces and exterior walls are the first to freeze, which is why burst pipe repair calls rise in cold snaps.

The City of Caldwell water department draws from groundwater wells and can be reached at 208-455-3070. A sewer problem on the street is reported to the city sewer emergency line at (208) 949-1278, while a problem inside your house is the owner's to fix. Plumbing work in Idaho follows the 2015 Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC) with state amendments, and the state says a permit is required when plumbing work is performed.
