Idaho plumbing FAQ

How do I check a plumber's license in Idaho?

Idaho's Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses issues plumbing licenses and permits through its Plumbing Board.

Do pipes freeze in Idaho?

Yes, regularly. Idaho winters freeze pipes in exterior walls, crawl spaces, garages and attics, and outdoor spigots that aren't frost-free. Keep the heat on, disconnect hoses in fall and know where your main shutoff is.

Is Idaho water hard?

Generally hard, based on national hardness mapping, but it varies by utility and by well. Your water provider's annual water quality report lists the hardness for your system, and a plumber can test well water.

How old are homes in Idaho?

Census estimates for Idaho put 18% of homes as built before 1960, 22% from 1960 to 1979, 25% from 1980 to 1999 and 35% in 2000 or later. Older homes are more likely to have galvanized supply pipe and cast iron or clay sewer lines.
