The Fremont East Entertainment District was created by the City of Las Vegas in 2002 and covers six downtown blocks bounded by Las Vegas Boulevard, Ogden Avenue, 8th Street and Carson Avenue in ZIP 89101. It is the bar, restaurant and music strip east of the Fremont Street Experience canopy, with the El Cortez at 600 East Fremont Street, Downtown Container Park at 707 Fremont Street and the vintage neon streetscape finished in 2007. The buildings are older downtown commercial stock, and many have been converted from one use to another several times.
That history shapes nearly every plumbing call here. Supply and drain lines are often galvanized and cast iron, services may be sized for an earlier tenant, and because tenancies change often, it is normal to find plumbing that was modified several times with no record of what was done. Establishing what is actually in the building before pricing a job is the honest approach, and it saves the owner from paying for the wrong fix. Our Drain & Sewer Services cover floor drains carrying a heavy nightly load, camera inspection of old cast iron and line cleaning. Sewage & Waste Services include grease trap pumping, and Pipe & Fixture Services take in bar sinks, restroom fixtures and repairs to aging galvanized lines. Backflow assemblies on the potable supply are tested annually by a certified tester under the water provider's program.
The valley draws its water from Lake Mead and the Colorado River, treated with ozone and then chlorine, and it is very hard at about 280 parts per million, roughly 16 grains per gallon. Water Treatment and Water Heater Services help control scale in tank heaters, glass washers and fixture cartridges. Work in this district is planned around trading hours, and street access and parking are tight, so we confirm the service entrance before we arrive. Emergency Plumbing is open 24/7 with technicians arriving in 30 to 60 minutes. Call Active Plumbing at (702) 438-3357.
