What’s a Bury Hydrant?
A bury hydrant is a frost-proof outdoor water outlet that shuts off deep underground, below the freeze line, to prevent frozen pipes in winter. They’re commonly installed in barns, gardens, or fields where year-round water access is needed.
With our bury hydrants services, you get a system that drains properly when shut off and keeps working even in freezing conditions. We install them to last, so you don’t have to worry when winter hits.
Here’s What We Handle
We install, replace, and repair hydrants across Meridian, Kuna, Nampa, and rural parts of the Treasure Valley. These are common situations we help with:
- Bury Hydrant Installation: New builds, expanded farms, or upgraded water access points.
- Bury Hydrant Replacement: Old or rusted hydrants that no longer shut off properly or leak.
- Broken handles or stems
- Water freezing at the outlet
- Leaks around the base
We help you pick the right depth, location, and model for your property.
Real Problems We’ve Solved
We’ve replaced hydrants that froze solid every winter and upgraded aging units that leaked underground without warning. In one case, a property owner had no idea their hydrant was draining improperly until we found standing water pooling below the surface.
In every job, we provided a clear fix that solved the problem. Our installs are built to last and made to handle the conditions specific to your property.
Why Homeowners Call Us
We show up with the right parts, take care with every dig, and install your hydrant the right way from the start. You’ll know exactly where it’s going, how it works, and what to expect when we’re done.
There’s no guessing, no shortcuts, and no surprises. We leave your space clean, your hydrant working, and the job fully done.
My mind is blown with how efficient, quick, and friendly this plumbing crew is. ColeBee came in and did a tub/shower trim swap for me. His pricing is great and he is very detail oriented. I HIGHLY recommend him for any plumbing needs you have. 100/10!!!

Colebee from Running Water Plumbing installed a gas line and also fixed a broken exterior faucet at my home. He showed up right on time and worked quickly and efficiently. Without me even asking, he helped remove my old oven and install the new one, which I really appreciated. The quality of work was solid and the whole process was smooth. I highly recommend Running Water for any plumbing needs. Thanks again.

Colebee was on time and very professional. He wasn’t satisfied with the quality of some of the previous parts so he replaced them at a fair price to ensure no further issues with my toilet repair. Highly recommend for any of your plumbing issues.

Colebee and Brody were professional and awesome. He help me add a loop for the water softener in my basement and did the plumbing for my kitchen remodel. They will clean up the site really well and I am happy with the experience.

Plumbing Tips, Local Fixes & Know-How
Bury Hydrant FAQs
How deep should a bury hydrant be installed?
In Idaho, at least 3 to 4 feet below ground to stay below the frost line.
Why is my hydrant leaking when off?
That usually means the plunger or seat needs replacement. We can repair or replace the unit.
Can you move an existing hydrant?
Yes. We can dig and relocate it to a better or more useful location.
Do I need a gravel pit for drainage?
Yes. We install a proper gravel base to allow water to drain when the hydrant is turned off.
