For a burst pipe anywhere in Gem County, shut the main valve and call (800) 555-0100 — the free call connects you with the local specialist covering your town, typically within 30–60 minutes in town. The county sees 130.8 to 177.6 freeze days a year across its towns, so this is a planned-for emergency here, not an exception.
Gem County spans orchard country and valley homes around Emmett, with Emmett as its seat and a population of 20,614 (ACS 2024). This page is the county hub for burst pipe and freeze water damage cover: 4 communities are served here, each with its own page, its own data and its own local specialists. Freeze risk here is a county story: the same fronts, the same cold pools, the same housing eras repeat from town to town. The county hub keeps every town's own figures one click away.
Freeze exposure runs from 130.8 days a year at or below freezing in Emmett to 177.6 in Sweet (NOAA/NCEI 1991–2020 normals). The coldest January nights are in Ola, where average lows reach 15.4°F. NWS Boise covers Gem County's warnings, and the county's bursts reliably cluster in the same windows those warnings describe: deep-freeze nights and the thaw after. The county hub keeps every town's own figures one click away. In a deep freeze, that shared cover is what keeps the county's arrival times honest.
The oldest housing sits in Emmett, where the median home dates to 1977, and in Emmett, 56.9% of homes predate 1980 (ACS 2024). Across the county's towns there are roughly 3,590 homes, and the older share of them carries the familiar mixture: copper and galvanized lines, crawl-space runs and insulation that predates modern standards. That mix is why county cover is organized around local specialists: the failure in a 1910 farmhouse and a 2015 subdivision are different jobs. The county hub keeps every town's own figures one click away.
Cover works like this: one free call on (800) 555-0100, answered 24/7, and the specialist based nearest your town is dispatched — the aim is 30–60 minutes in town, longer for the county's far corners, stated honestly when you call. Each town's own page carries its figures, its ZIP codes and its neighbourhoods where we have verified them; this hub exists so the whole county is one click from anywhere. In a county-wide freeze, towns share cover — the nearest available specialist travels, not the nearest on paper. Follow-up visits look for the quiet damage: mold growth starting in a kitchen sink cabinet, an exterior wall still holding moisture, and irrigation line stubs that froze at the foundation.
Start any Gem County burst the same way: main shutoff closed, electrics avoided in wet areas, then the call. County resources — the county's official site and its emergency management office — are linked in the sources below, and NWS Boise is the authority for freeze warnings. If you manage property anywhere in the county, saving this page is the cheapest preparation there is. The county hub keeps every town's own figures one click away. In a deep freeze, that shared cover is what keeps the county's arrival times honest. In Gem County the pattern repeats each winter: galvanized steel pipe and copper pipe sections split at elbows, a brass fitting gives way under pressure, and a moisture meter and air mover stay on site until the walls read dry.

Call NowThe county's terrain — orchard country and valley homes around Emmett — decides how cold settles: valley floors pool freezing air on still nights, exposed benches take the wind, and shaded hollows hold ice long after the sun is up elsewhere. Pipe lines live in that microclimate, not in the county average, which is why two towns ten miles apart can have very different burst histories.

The oldest housing sits in Emmett, where the median home dates to 1977 (ACS 2024), and across the county roughly 3,590 houses share the same broad recipe: older pipe materials, crawl-space runs and fittings that have seen decades of freeze-thaw cycles. Freeze-thaw is the quiet multiplier — a joint that survives one winter slightly loosened meets the next winter slightly weaker. The county hub keeps every town's own figures one click away.
Gem County's water comes from a mix of city systems, small community supplies and private wells, and each fails differently in a freeze: mains pressure behind a split, a pump feeding a break, irrigation lines splitting silently underground. The county pages and town pages linked here keep the right guidance with the right system, so a well owner is not reading city-meter advice at 2 AM.

Call Now — (800) 555-0100All 4 listed on this page — from Emmett to Sweet — each through its own page and the same free number, (800) 555-0100. If your community sits between listed towns, call anyway: cover is dispatched by distance, and the nearest specialist to you is the one who travels. The call is free and answered around the clock.
The aim in any of the county's towns is 30–60 minutes, Emmett included; outlying addresses can take longer in bad weather. Cover is organized by proximity, not by town size — the specialist dispatched is the nearest available, whether the call comes from the county seat or its smallest community.
One number: (800) 555-0100, answered 24/7. Idaho Burst Pipe Pros is a free connection service — the call connects you with the independent local specialist covering your section of Gem County, who does and bills the work. Keeping one number for the whole county is deliberate: in a freeze you should not be guessing which town's page you need.
It varies with the break's access, how long water ran and what it damaged — the county sees everything from a crawl-space split fixed in an hour to a farmhouse dried over a week. The constant: the call is free, the price is given on site once the break is found, and acting in the first hour is the biggest saving available anywhere in the county.
Yes — a large share of county freeze damage is precisely that: well lines, pump houses, stock lines and irrigation runs that sit shallow and unheated. A pump that will not halt cycling is the classic sign of an underground break; cut its power and call — the pro will trace the line from there.
Yes — landlords and families with houses in two county towns use the same number for both; the handler logs each address and dispatches the nearest specialist to each. In a county-wide freeze, saying both addresses on the first call gets both into the queue at once. The call is free and answered day and night.
Because the cause is county-wide weather: Gem County towns share cold air masses, and exposure here runs up to 177.6 freeze days a year. Pipes across the county freeze on the same two or three nights; the splits reveal themselves together at the thaw, which is why the post-freeze weekend is the busiest of the year.
Save the number and give it to tenants: the fastest shutoff and the fastest call are worth more than any clause in the lease. For empty properties, winterize or fit a monitored leak detector — county distances mean an undiscovered burst in an empty home does its worst before anyone drives past.
In the towns themselves, the aim is 30–60 minutes. For the county's far corners — the ranch roads and canyon communities — it can run longer, and the person answering your call will give you the honest figure for your address and the weather that night. What does not change is the sequence: shutoff first, call second, and the specialist travels whilst you contain what you can.
NWS Boise issues watches and warnings for Gem County, and the county emergency management office passes local alerts — both are linked in the sources below. The practical translation for householders: a forecast of various nights in the teens is the drip-the-faucets, open-the-cabinets signal, everywhere in the county. The call is free and answered day and night.
