Whitney is an unincorporated Clark County township of about 22 square miles in the southeast valley, framed by Boulder Highway, Tropicana Avenue, Nellis Boulevard and Russell Road. It is not Whitney Ranch, which sits inside the City of Henderson and has a different building department. Most of Whitney was built through the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, so the plumbing behind the walls is typically galvanized steel supply on the oldest streets, copper on the later ones and cast iron drain, waste and vent piping through much of it. Galvanized narrows from the inside until pressure drops at a fixture and discolored water shows up, and cast iron scales and separates at joints, which is why repeated slow drains call for a camera inspection rather than another round of cabling.
Whitney also holds a large share of condominiums, townhomes and mobile home parks, and close to half its homes are rented. In attached buildings the CC&Rs decide whether a shared stack or riser belongs to the association or the owner, so it pays to check before approving work. In a park, the connection point between park infrastructure and the home sets who pays, and supply lines in the exposed underbelly can freeze on cold desert nights. In a rental, the landlord or property manager usually authorizes the repair. Valley water runs about 280 parts per million, roughly 16 grains per gallon, so water heaters scale up and original shut-off valves seize. Our Water Heater Services, Drain & Sewer Services and Pipe & Fixture Services cover the work this housing needs most.
