Why Meridian homes need these repairs

Meridian is one of Idaho's fastest-growing cities, mostly owner-occupied subdivisions built since the 1990s west of Boise. All of its water comes from deep city wells into the aquifers under the Treasure Valley, and cold winters, hard water and newer-home warranty issues shape the calls.
