Polybutylene or Kitec? We identify what is behind the walls of your Green Valley home

Plumbing for Green Valley, Henderson's original master-planned community since 1978. Polybutylene and Kitec identification, cast iron drain camera work, repipes and water heaters from a licensed family business.
Green Valley was the first master-planned community in the Las Vegas Valley, started by American Nevada Company in 1978 across about 7,100 acres of Henderson along Green Valley Parkway. Its long build span is what makes plumbing here unusual: the earliest phases fall inside the polybutylene window, which ran to 1995, and later phases fall inside the 1995 to 2007 Kitec window. Polybutylene is usually gray pipe with gray acetal fittings and metal crimp rings, and it turns brittle from the inside and fails without warning. Kitec is orange and blue composite pipe with brass fittings that lose zinc, restrict flow and then leak. Both claim settlements have closed, so owners carry the cost. We confirm which material your house has on site, and where either is found a scheduled repipe through our Pipe & Fixture Services, with water back on at the end of each working day, beats patching one leak after another.
Local Knowledge
Early-phase homes may have gray polybutylene that turns brittle and fails without warning, with repeat failures after a spot repair.
Homes built from 1995 onward may have Kitec, where brass fittings lose zinc, restrict flow and leak. Weak flow at a fixture is an early sign.
Original cast iron in the oldest phases scales, cracks and separates at joints, showing up first as slow drains that keep returning.
More than forty years of mature trees and landscaping can push roots into older sewer laterals.
Very hard water scales tank heaters, and worn pressure regulators can creep high and strain an already weakened supply system.

What we offer in Green Valley
A slow sink is an annoyance, but several slow drains at once usually means the main line is involved. Active Plumbing clears kitchen sinks, bathroom sinks, tubs, showers, toilets, floor drains and laundry lines with cable machines or hydro-jetting, and uses a camera where the cause needs confirming. You get a written price before any work starts.
Learn more →Repeat clogs, slow drains throughout the house and sewer odors all have a cause you can see on camera. We run a waterproof HD camera through your sewer line from a cleanout, record the full run and walk you through the footage. You get a clear picture of roots, bellies, offset joints, cracks or scale before anyone digs or quotes a repair.
Learn more →When a cable machine only punches a hole through a blockage, hydro-jetting cleans the whole pipe wall. Active Plumbing pairs high-pressure water jetting with mechanical root cutting to clear sewer and drain lines across the Las Vegas Valley. Where the line is older or has a history, a camera look comes first so the method suits the pipe.
Learn more →Roots, offset joints, bellies, corrosion and collapse all end the same way - a main line that stops carrying waste away from the house. We repair or replace damaged sewer lines with spot repairs, trenchless lining, pipe bursting or open-cut replacement. The camera decides which method fits, and you see the evidence before you choose.
Learn more →A sewer cleanout is the doorway into your main line. With one in the right place, a plumber can run a camera, cable or hydro-jet without pulling a toilet or going through a roof vent. Active Plumbing installs and replaces cleanouts across the Las Vegas Valley and gives you a written price before work starts.
Learn more →Call (702) 438-3357 and tell us which drain is affected and whether it is slow or fully stopped. We can give a general idea of pricing on the phone.
A technician arrives in 30 to 60 minutes, checks which fixtures are affected to tell a branch clog from a main line problem, and gives you a written price before work starts.
We clear the drain with a cable machine or hydro-jet as the line requires, running a camera where the cause or the result needs confirming.
We show you what caused the blockage, recommend any repair if the pipe itself is defective, clean up the work area and follow up after the job.

Local Tips
Planning to sell in Green Valley? Find out your supply pipe material before listing, since the buyer's inspector will likely find it anyway.
If you have polybutylene or Kitec, have incoming pressure checked and keep it in a normal range to reduce strain on the system until it is replaced.
For a slow drain that keeps coming back in an older phase, ask for a camera inspection before paying for repeated cabling.

Real reviews from Green Valley and nearby Henderson neighborhoods.
Roots had knitted a mat in the 4-inch main. Hydro-jetting cut the mat and they ran the camera again to prove it. We were in Green Valley, Henderson. Three baths flushed at once with no backup in the shower.

Toilets gurgled whenever the washer dumped. Camera footage showed a belly in the clay lateral just past the cleanout. That call was from Green Valley. We have video, a map, and a priced repair instead of a mystery.

There was no usable cleanout and every clog meant a toilet pull. They added a two-way cleanout at the property line with a marked lid. We were in Anthem, Henderson. The next backup was cleared from the yard, not the powder room.

Yelp review, October 2025
Green Valley is inside the City of Henderson, not Clark County or the City of Las Vegas. Permits, plan check and inspections go through the City of Henderson Development Services Center under the Southern Nevada Amendments to the Uniform Plumbing Code as Henderson has adopted them. We confirm the permit position for your address before work starts.
A typical Las Vegas Valley range for drain cleaning is $150 to $350. That is a market range, not a quote. For recurring clogs in older cast iron lines we often suggest a camera inspection first, and we give you a written price before any work starts.
We are open 24/7 and arrive in 30 to 60 minutes anywhere in the valley, including every part of Green Valley from Sunset Road down to the 215. Trucks carry common repair parts, so many jobs finish in one visit.
It depends on when your phase was built. Early Green Valley homes fall in the polybutylene window that ended in 1995, and later homes fall in the 1995 to 2007 Kitec window. Polybutylene is usually gray with gray acetal fittings and crimp rings. Kitec is orange for hot and blue for cold with brass fittings. We confirm it on site under sinks, at the water heater and where pipe leaves the slab.
The polybutylene settlement from the Cox v. Shell Oil case and the Kitec settlement deadlines, the last on January 9 2020, have passed, so owners now pay for replacement themselves. If you believe your situation is unusual, an attorney is the right person to ask. Our job is to tell you what you have and what a repipe involves.
The oldest phases have cast iron drain lines that scale inside, crack and separate at joints, and decades of mature landscaping can send roots into laterals. Repeated cabling only buys time. A camera inspection shows the actual condition so you can decide between repair and replacement.
