Our Local Expertise
At Express Septic, we have detailed knowledge of local conditions, which is one reason to trust us for your septic and drain service needs. Our technicians are familiar with the clay soil common in the area. It is known for poor drainage, which can create challenges with septic systems. The climate is generally dry but can be unpredictable, while wide seasonal temperature variations can take a toll on your drainage system.
We are fully licensed to operate in Idaho and are familiar with the common septic system types used here. These include the following:
- Conventional: A conventional septic system has a concrete, fiberglass, or polyethylene tank and drainfield. While solids form a sludge at the bottom of the tank, oil and grease float on top and the liquid in between flows into the drain field.
- Alternative: An alternative septic system is similar to but more compact than a conventional system. It requires prior treatment but is suited for areas with high groundwater. Tighter regulations demand annual or semi-annual inspections.
- Aerobic: Injecting oxygen into the tank increases the natural bacteria that break down waste. Suited for small lots, high water tables, and poor soil conditions, an aerobic septic system may include pretreatment and a separate tank for disinfection.
Our septic service experts are familiar with all local regulations and coordinate with the health department to ensure your septic system is properly installed, inspected, and maintained.
Specialized Local Services
Septic Services
Our local plumbers can help you with the following septic services:
- System Inspections: Your septic system should be inspected regularly to ensure it’s functioning properly and is safe to use. Our technicians look for full tanks, clogged pipes, leaks, tree roots, and other issues that need to be addressed.
- Maintenance: Prevention helps avoid septic failures and expensive repairs and replacements. Any small issue can escalate into problems throughout a septic system, but our maintenance experts can keep your septic tank, pipes, and drain field in top shape.
- Repairs: A septic tank failure can release foul odors and cause wastewater backups. We provide septic repair services throughout our service area. Our plumbers address common problems such as clogs, overflows, leaks, tree root invasion, and pump failure.
- Installations: Our team helps choose a septic system suited for your home. After a thorough site evaluation, we obtain approval and permits and install your new system, complete with site excavation, leveling, compaction, and backfilling. We also install the pipes needed to serve the drain field.
Drain Services
Drain problems can occur in any home. Fortunately, our plumbers are trained and skilled in the following services:
- Cleaning: Our drain cleaning services provide permanent solutions to blockages, whether they’re caused by food particles, grease, oil, or hair. We use a wide range of methods, including hydro jetting, to remove debris, prevent odors, and protect pipes.
- Repair: Persistent clogs can damage drains, while corrosion can wear out pipes. No matter the problem, our experts can find and fix it quickly. Call if you have slow drainage, frequent clogs, odors from drains, pests, or hear gurgling noises.
- Emergency Clearing: A drain backup and overflow can occur without warning. It can lead to a messy cleanup and extensive water damage. Express Septic & Drain Cleaning is available 24/7 to respond to and resolve an emergency.
- Maintenance: Even when your drains are working properly, it pays to have them checked by a plumber. Camera inspections can help spot problems early and hydro jetting can keep them clear.
- Camera Inspections: Drain camera inspections are invaluable in assessing the health of your plumbing and septic systems. We use high-quality video cameras attached to long cables. These allow us to see deep into drain lines to spot hidden issues.

Local Challenges We Address
Another reason to choose us for drain maintenance and septic services is our knowledge of ability to handle local challenges, including the following:
- Winter Freezes: Boise is known for its cold winters. A freeze can damage a septic tank, piping, and other components.
- Spring Thaws: A thaw can overwhelm the drain field with water, causing water to backflow into your home.
- Irrigation Impacts: Irrigation elements should be placed away from septic systems, and any impacts from them evaluated by a professional.
- Soil Conditions: Soil types and conditions can vary; a soil’s permeability and the weather can affect your drainage and septic system.
- Tree Root Intrusion: Tree roots grow towards moisture and nutrients and can damage drain lines and septic tanks.
- Aging Systems: A well-cared-for septic system can last 30 years or longer. Over time, rust, soil conditions, the water table, and worn components take a toll.
- Local Building Codes: Code compliance is essential, as violations can lead to safety issues, fines, and costly repairs and rework.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do You Service Older Septic Systems in Boise?
The age of your septic system can be a factor. We provide repairs whenever possible, but offer free estimates and fair pricing if the best option is a septic tank replacement service.
How Do I Protect My Septic System from Freezing Temperatures?
Our septic service experts install the tank and pipes below the frost line. Insulating the tank and pipes with rigid foam helps prevent freezing, while we try to avoid compacting the soil above, so the ground won’t freeze as easily.
