Commercial plumbing for downtown Las Vegas hotels, restaurants and older buildings, from interceptors to backflow
Customer financing available. Ask us about options.
Downtown Las Vegas, from Bonanza Road to Charleston Boulevard and I-15 to Maryland Parkway, is a commercial and hospitality quarter where grease interceptors, backflow, commercial water heating and pre-code sewer drive plumbing work.
Downtown Las Vegas runs from Bonanza Road south to Charleston Boulevard and from Interstate 15 east to Maryland Parkway, taking in the Fremont Street Experience, the Fremont East Entertainment District, Symphony Park and the Las Vegas Medical District. It is a commercial and hospitality market first. Casinos and hotels, restaurants and bars, offices, small retail and a growing number of residential conversions share some of the oldest commercial building stock in the valley. Cast iron and clay drain lines, undersized laterals and decades of alterations layered on top of each other are routine, and a sewer connection that met code when it went in often does not today.
Local Knowledge
Downtown has the valley's oldest commercial buildings, with cast iron and clay drain lines, undersized laterals and connections that no longer meet current code. Camera inspection shows the real condition before work starts.
Kitchens that skip scheduled cleaning end up with grease in the drain lines and backups during service. Documented maintenance is also what a health inspection looks for.
Turning retail or warehouse space into a restaurant or bar changes drainage, venting and interceptor requirements, which is where older downtown buildings most often need real plumbing work.
Hotel and kitchen water heating plant runs far harder than a household unit, and at about 280 parts per million, roughly 16 grains per gallon, scale cuts efficiency and shortens equipment life.
Dead legs and low-use lines in hotels and larger buildings let water sit, and SNWA notes Legionella can grow in biofilm in large systems. Temperature control and recirculation design help manage that risk.

What we offer in Downtown Las Vegas
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
If your downtown building has several food tenants, confirm each one has its own grease interceptor before an inspection rather than after.
Schedule interceptor cleaning and drain jetting on a fixed interval and keep the records, since a failed line on a busy night costs more than maintenance.
Check Fremont Street events and convention dates before booking planned plumbing work, as access and parking change on those days.

Real reviews from Downtown Las Vegas and nearby Las Vegas neighborhoods.
A slab-on-grade ranch had a mystery hiss under the dining room. Thermal camera plus a listening disc marked one tile only. We were in Artesian Heights, Las Vegas. Dinner was back at that table the next night.

The garbage disposal hummed and then tripped the breaker. They replaced the unit, reset the air gap, and checked the trap. That call was from Artesian Heights. The sink handles onion peels again.

To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to commend the excellent service I received from Active Plumbing on March 28, 2025. Ace Palmer was the service technician who assisted me, arriving promptly as scheduled. I had an unknown leak in my kitchen that was causing my entire kitchen floor to get wet, and I couldn't identify the source. Ace Palmer quickly assessed the situation, identified the cracked drain pipe and went above and beyond to resolve the issue, even staying late to ensure the problem was completely fixed. I highly recommend Ace Palmer from Active Plumbing, for any plumbing needs you may have. Sincerely, Shane Adam Johnson

Two authorities are involved. Downtown is inside the City of Las Vegas, so the plumbing permit and inspections come from the City of Las Vegas building department. The Southern Nevada Health District separately reviews plans for food establishments, and one approval does not replace the other.
Grease trap pumping typically runs $150 to $400 in the Las Vegas Valley, and commercial water heater installation typically runs $1,500 to $6,000+. These are typical valley ranges, not quotes. Active Plumbing gives a written price before any work starts.
Active Plumbing is open 24/7, and technicians arrive in 30 to 60 minutes anywhere in the valley, including downtown. For planned work we can agree an early morning or overnight window so your business stays open. Call (702) 438-3357.
Not under the Southern Nevada Amendments. Each business that needs a sand or oil interceptor must have one serving that establishment only, and separate owners or lessees within a larger building need separate interceptors. Interceptors must also pass a water test showing no leaks.
The Southern Nevada Water Authority notes that Legionella can grow in biofilm inside large plumbing systems such as hotels, offices, hospitals and high rises. Water temperature, dead legs, stagnant low-use lines and recirculation design all affect that risk, especially in buildings with changing occupancy.
Have the drain lines and lateral inspected with a camera, since old cast iron and clay lines and past alterations often differ from the plans. A change from retail to food service changes the drainage, venting and interceptor requirements, so the existing plumbing is assessed before the design is finished.
