Drain Cleaning & Clog Removal

Slow drains, recurring clogs, and backed-up fixtures are some of our most common calls. We use [camera inspection / hydro jetting / professional-grade snaking] to clear blockages and find the root cause — whether it's grease buildup, tree root intrusion, or a failing section of pipe.

Water Heater Repair & Installation

We service, repair, and install all types of water heaters — traditional tank (gas and electric), tankless on-demand, and power vent models. If your hot water is inconsistent, your unit is leaking, or your water heater is past its useful life, we'll give you an honest assessment of whether repair or replacement makes more sense.

Sewer Line Repair & Replacement

Sewer line problems cause backups, odors, and property damage. We use camera inspection to diagnose the issue before recommending a solution — whether it's a targeted repair, root clearing, or a full line replacement.

Leak Detection & Pipe Repair

Even small leaks lead to water damage, mold, and wasted water. We locate leaks — including those hidden in walls, under slabs, and in crawl spaces — and repair them before they become major problems.

Water Softener & Water Treatment

The Upper Valley's water is hard. If you're seeing scale buildup on fixtures, spotty dishes, dry skin, or shortened appliance life, a water softener or filtration system makes a measurable difference. We install, repair, and service water softeners, reverse osmosis systems, and whole-home filtration. For homes on well water, we also provide water testing to identify what treatment your system needs.

Gas Line Installation & Repair

Coppers Plumbing is gas line certified. We install new gas lines for furnaces, water heaters, ranges, dryers, fire pits, and outdoor grills, and we repair existing lines. If you smell gas, leave your home immediately, call your gas utility from outside, and then call us to locate and fix the issue.

Fixture Installation

Upgrading a kitchen faucet, replacing a toilet, or installing new bathroom fixtures as part of a remodel — we handle it. We work with the brands and fixtures you choose and make sure everything is installed to Idaho plumbing code.

Frozen & Burst Pipe Repair

Saint Anthony sits at roughly 4,900 feet of elevation, and winter temperatures regularly drop well below zero. Frozen pipes are not a hypothetical — they're a predictable annual risk, particularly in crawl spaces, exterior walls, and outbuildings. We provide emergency thawing and repair, and we advise on insulation and heat tape solutions to prevent recurrence.

Repiping

Older homes in Saint Anthony and across Fremont County may still have galvanized steel or polybutylene pipes that are deteriorating. If you're seeing frequent leaks, rusty water, or low pressure, a whole-home repipe with modern materials is often the most cost-effective long-term fix.

New Construction & Remodel Plumbing

We work with builders, contractors, and homeowners on new construction rough-ins and finish plumbing, as well as kitchen and bathroom remodels. We coordinate with other trades, pull permits, and ensure every installation meets current Idaho plumbing code.

Tyler started Coppers Plumbing after spending years working for plumbing contractors across Eastern Idaho. He built the company on a simple principle: treat every home like it’s your own.

Plumbing Challenges Specific to Saint Anthony and the Upper Valley

Living in the Upper Valley means your plumbing deals with conditions that a plumber in Boise or Twin Falls may not fully understand:

Extreme cold and frozen pipes

Saint Anthony averages over 170 days per year below freezing, with winter lows frequently hitting -10°F to -20°F. Pipes in crawl spaces, exterior walls, unheated garages, and outbuildings are at high risk. Proper insulation, heat tape on vulnerable lines, and knowing where your shutoff valve is are essential — not optional. We see more frozen pipe calls in a single January than some Idaho plumbers see all year.

Hard water and mineral buildup

The Upper Valley’s groundwater is mineral-heavy — high in calcium and magnesium. This causes scale accumulation inside pipes, on fixtures, in water heaters, and in appliances. Without a water softener, water heaters in this area tend to fail years earlier than expected due to sediment buildup. Anode rods corrode faster. Fixtures scale up. A properly installed water softener is one of the best investments a homeowner in this area can make.

Well water systems

Many properties outside Saint Anthony town limits — and throughout Fremont County — are on private wells rather than municipal water. Well water introduces additional considerations: iron and manganese staining, sulfur smell, variable water pressure, and the need for treatment systems tailored to your specific water chemistry. We provide water testing and install treatment systems designed for what’s actually in your water — not generic one-size-fits-all solutions.

Septic system awareness

Properties on septic systems need plumbers who understand the limitations — certain fixtures, garbage disposals, and chemical drain cleaners can damage a septic system. We factor your waste system into every recommendation we make.

Elevation and water pressure

At nearly 5,000 feet, homes in Saint Anthony and the surrounding area can experience different water pressure dynamics than lower-elevation communities. This affects fixture selection, water heater sizing (particularly tankless units, which need to account for colder inlet temps at elevation), and irrigation system design.

Older housing stock

Saint Anthony has homes dating back to the early 1900s, many with original or aging plumbing — galvanized steel supply lines, cast iron drains, and outdated configurations. We’re experienced with the specific challenges of updating plumbing in older homes without tearing the whole house apart.
