Kuna sits about 17 miles southwest of downtown Boise, past the south end of Meridian. It was a farm town of about 5,000 people in 2000 and grew to roughly 25,000 by 2020. Almost every home in the new subdivisions was built after 2005, so Kuna plumbing calls look different from Boise's. The pipe is PEX, the water heaters are all reaching the same age at once, and the fixtures are builder grade. The surrounding acreage properties are the opposite: older farmhouses, private wells, and septic. Summit Plumbing covers both. We send trucks to Kuna daily and keep the parts that fail most in these homes on board.
Homes in Kuna
Kuna's subdivisions are mostly single-level and two-story homes from 2005 onward on slab or shallow crawlspace, with PEX supply, plastic drain lines, and a 40 or 50 gallon gas water heater in the garage. Garage heaters freeze and fail in cold snaps. The older farm homes outside town have galvanized pipe, aging well pressure tanks, and septic lines that have never been inspected.

Learn moreKuna questions
Our Kuna home is only eight years old. Why is the plumbing already failing?
Builder-grade parts have short lives. Plastic supply stops, cheap fill valves, and thin-walled water heaters are usually the first things to go, often between years seven and twelve. The pipe itself is usually fine.
Is Kuna water hard?
Very. The city draws from deep wells with a high mineral content. If your dishes spot and your shower heads clog within a year, a softener sized for your home will take care of it.
Can you get to Kuna in an emergency?
Kuna is a regular stop for our trucks, not a special trip. Call (208) 555-0142, shut off the main if water is running, and we will give you a real arrival window.
