The Capital, the Bench and the River

Boise is a big, varied city, and its water damage varies with it. Near downtown and in the older neighborhoods north of the river, many homes have basements, some of them old and some finished decades after the house was built. Up on the Bench and across west Boise, the houses are more often mid-century and newer homes over crawlspaces, with the same canal-and-lateral grid that runs through Meridian. And through the middle of it all is the Boise River, which in a big snowmelt year runs high enough to close stretches of the Greenbelt. What you see depends on where you are: a damp basement corner in summer, water under the floor after a freeze, or wet carpet from an appliance line.

Boise Water, Season by Season

Winter is freeze season everywhere in the city, with crawlspace and outside-wall lines the usual splits. From spring into fall, irrigation raises groundwater on parts of the Bench and in the west, and basements in older neighborhoods can take on water when the ground is wet. In big snowmelt years, the river adds a third season of its own for low areas nearby.

When Boise Calls

A call from Boise to (208) 908-0878 goes to a restoration company that already works this part of the Treasure Valley. Those companies take on restoration and mitigation, ceiling damage, wet walls, floors and carpet, crawlspace and basement water and burst pipes. What the work costs and when it starts get settled after someone has seen the house, between you and that company.
