Centennial Hills runs from the Moccasin Road alignment south to Cheyenne Avenue and from Decatur Boulevard west toward the Red Rock preservation area, crossed by US 95 and the 215 Beltway. It is the newest large residential area inside the City of Las Vegas, built out mostly from the 1990s through the 2010s as master-planned and production tract housing. That means slab-on-grade homes, many of them two stories, with copper or PEX supply lines and ABS or PVC drains. There is no galvanized steel or cast iron to replace here. What wears out is the equipment and the fittings that went in with the house, now twenty to thirty years old.
Water heaters lead the list. A tank installed in the late 1990s or 2000s is at or past its rated life, and in valley water of about 280 parts per million, roughly 16 grains per gallon, an unflushed tank works harder and fails earlier. Thermal expansion tanks fail quietly and show up as a dripping relief valve, pressure regulators drift high or low, and original angle stops, supply connectors, toilet fill valves and washing machine hoses are due for a look. In a two-story plan, a connector that fails over a living room does far more damage than one on a slab floor. Our Water Heater Services, Pipe & Fixture Services and Water Treatment teams handle all of it, including the softener loop many builders stubbed into the garage and many owners never used. Tankless units are a popular upgrade here, and in this water they need regular descaling.
Permits run through the City of Las Vegas, not Clark County, even though some neighboring growth areas to the north and west are unincorporated county. Most streets are under HOAs, so exterior equipment such as a wall-mounted tankless unit may need architectural approval as well. Active Plumbing has served the valley since 1991, holds license #0047021 and gives a written price before work starts. Call (702) 438-3357.
LOCAL KNOWLEDGE
Tanks installed with homes in the late 1990s and 2000s are at or past their rated life. Hard water scale on elements and tank bottoms means an unflushed heater fails earlier than its label suggests.
Thermal expansion tanks fail without obvious signs, often showing up as a dripping relief valve. Pressure regulators wear and either creep high, stressing fixtures, or drop and cause low pressure complaints.
Angle stops, supply connectors, fill valves and washer hoses are often original. In two-story plans, a failure in an upstairs bathroom or laundry sends water into the living space below.
At about 280 parts per million, roughly 16 grains per gallon, scale fouls tankless heat exchangers and the small passages in shower cartridges, so showers swing hot and cold and tankless output drops without regular descaling.
Copper and PEX of this age leak under the slab less often than older pipe, but it happens, often where a line was damaged during construction. Detection comes first, then the choice between opening the slab and rerouting the line.
LOCAL TIPS
Find your main shut-off and test that it closes fully, since an upstairs leak in a two-story Centennial Hills home can reach the rooms below.
Swap any original plastic supply connectors for braided stainless ones and put a drain pan under an upstairs washing machine.
Check your association's architectural rules before mounting a tankless heater or treatment system on an exterior wall.

Homes in different parts of the valley were built in different eras, so the heater, venting and pipe we find can vary from one community to the next. We confirm what is installed on site before recommending a repair or replacement. Hard water at about 280 parts per million affects every neighborhood equally, so regular flushing makes sense wherever you live. Call (702) 438-3357.
Active Plumbing is a licensed plumbing contractor, not a heating and air company, so we do not repair furnace mechanical parts. What we do handle is the gas piping that feeds a furnace, water heater or other gas appliance, along with water heaters themselves. If an appliance is not getting gas, or you need a gas line installed or rerouted, our Gas Line Services team can help.
If you smell gas, leave the building, do not use switches or flames, and call Southwest Gas from outside before calling a plumber. For problems with the furnace itself, such as the blower, burners or controls, a licensed HVAC contractor is the right call. If you are not sure which side the problem is on, call (702) 438-3357 and describe what is happening.
Active Plumbing installs, repairs and replaces water heaters in the Majestic Hills area of northwest Las Vegas as part of its Centennial Hills service. Homes across this part of the city were largely built from the 1990s through the 2010s, so many original tank heaters, expansion tanks and pressure regulators are reaching the end of their service life. We confirm the age and setup of your heater on site rather than assuming it from the build year.
Valley water is very hard, about 280 parts per million or roughly 16 grains per gallon, according to the Southern Nevada Water Authority. Scale builds on tank bottoms and inside tankless heat exchangers, so flushing a tank and descaling a tankless unit on a regular interval helps it last. Technicians arrive in 30 to 60 minutes, 24/7, and you get a written price before work starts. Call (702) 438-3357.
Active Plumbing installs heat pump water heaters as part of its Water Heater Services in Centennial Hills. These units pull heat from the surrounding air, so they need enough space and airflow around them, a condensate drain and a suitable electrical supply. Many Centennial Hills homes keep the water heater in the garage, and we check the space, the electrical service and the water connections before recommending a unit.
The federal Section 25C tax credit ended for equipment placed in service after December 31, 2025, so it is not available for new installs. NV Energy and manufacturers have offered rebates at times, so check the current program before you buy. In very hard water, a heat pump unit still benefits from regular tank flushing. You get a written price before work starts. Call (702) 438-3357.
Real reviews from Centennial Hills-area customers we've served.
The restaurant's grease interceptor was days past pump-out. They pumped, scraped baffles, and left a dated service sticker. We were in Centennial Hills, Las Vegas. The county inspector passed the trap on the next walk-through.

Our water heater died after 6 years - Vegas hard water destroys them. Active Plumbing had a tech out the same day, quoted a fair flat price before touching anything, and stuck to it. New tank in by that evening, permit pulled, old one hauled off. No upsell, no surprises on the bill. You can tell why they have been around since 1991.

The ADU over the garage had no wet walls when we bought the lot. They tapped the main, set a cleanout, and plumbed every fixture. That call was from Centennial Hills. The ADU got a C of O without a punch-list on piping.

Centennial Hills is inside the City of Las Vegas, so permits and inspections go through the City of Las Vegas building department under the Uniform Plumbing Code with the Southern Nevada Amendments. Some growth areas just north and west are unincorporated Clark County, so we confirm the authority for your exact address.
Tank water heater installation typically runs $800 to $1,500 in the Las Vegas Valley, and tankless water heater installation typically runs $1,500 to $3,500. These are typical valley ranges, not a quote. Active Plumbing gives a written price on site before any work starts.
Active Plumbing is open 24/7, and technicians arrive in 30 to 60 minutes anywhere in the valley, including Centennial Hills, Skye Canyon and Lone Mountain. Call (702) 438-3357.
Many Centennial Hills homes were built with a stubbed softener loop in the garage because the builder expected owners to add treatment. If nothing is connected, every fixture and appliance in the house runs on untreated very hard water. A softener or conditioning system can be connected to that loop, and our Water Treatment team can explain the options.
Interior work generally does not. Most of Centennial Hills is under associations governed by NRS Chapter 116, and their architectural rules cover exterior appearance, so an exterior tankless unit, a visible treatment system in a side yard or a new heater enclosure may need approval. That is separate from any city permit.
Start with the water heater and its expansion tank, the pressure regulator on the incoming service, and the original angle stops, supply connectors, toilet fill valves and washing machine hoses. In a two-story home, confirm the main shut-off actually closes and consider a pan under an upstairs washer.
