Plumbing for The Paseos, a 2000s Summerlin village in ZIP 89138. Original water heaters, expansion tanks and pressure regulators at end of life, tankless descaling, upstairs supply failures and trail-side irrigation leaks.
The Paseos is a Summerlin village built largely through the 2000s on the western side of the community, reached from Far Hills Avenue at the western end of Summerlin Parkway. Desert Moon Road, Antelope Ridge Drive, Fox Hill Drive and Sky Vista Drive run through it past Paseos Park, Fox Hill Park and Vassiliadis Elementary, and it adjoins The Vistas and Stonebridge. Homes are slab-on-grade, mostly two-story, with copper or PEX supply, so there is no galvanized, cast iron or polybutylene here and no repipe work in the sense older parts of the valley need it. What the village does have is a whole generation of equipment reaching end of life at roughly the same time, because it was built in a compressed period.
Drain cleaning, hydro-jetting, sewer camera inspection and sewer line repair in The Paseos involve conditions specific to this western Summerlin village. Homes built largely through the 2000s on slab-on-grade foundations sit over drain and sewer lines that are now old enough to show scale buildup from the valley's very hard water, root intrusion from mature landscaping, and the first signs of structural wear. Caliche hardpan beneath the lots makes any exterior excavation for sewer repairs slower and more involved than owners typically expect.
Valley water at about 280 parts per million leaves calcium scale on pipe walls as well as clogs. In Paseos homes now twenty-plus years old, a cable machine cuts through a blockage but leaves scale behind, and the line slows again within weeks. Hydro-jetting scours the bore back to its full size. Knowing which method fits the line depends on a camera look first, not just whether the drain flows after cabling.
Paseos homes are slab-on-grade, so the main sewer lateral runs beneath the concrete with no crawl space to reach it from below. Camera inspection typically enters from a cleanout at grade. Homes built in this era sometimes have a cleanout that is buried under landscaping or hardscape added after construction, which has to be located or a new one installed before a camera can be run or the line jetted.
Where a camera inspection finds a belly, offset or cracked joint that needs a spot repair or section replacement, caliche hardpan beneath The Paseos lots makes trenching slower and harder to bed a pipe into evenly. Poorly compacted backfill in caliche also settles under the pipe over time and can pull it out of grade. An honest repair estimate here accounts for that excavation difficulty before any digging starts.
The Paseos was developed in the 2000s, and trees and large shrubs planted at that time have had two decades to establish root systems near sewer laterals. A main line that backs up repeatedly after cabling, rather than staying clear, often has roots re-entering through a joint. Camera inspection identifies whether roots are the cause and where along the lateral they are entering, which determines whether jetting, spot repair or lining is the right response.

Local Knowledge
Landscaping and hardscape added after original construction in The Paseos frequently covers or buries the sewer cleanout. When a main line backs up and no accessible cleanout can be found, the line cannot be cabled, jetted or inspected without either locating the buried fitting or installing a new one. Discovering this during an emergency call adds time and cost that a pre-emptive cleanout check would avoid.
In homes now twenty-plus years old, calcium scale from the valley's 280 parts per million water narrows the bore of drain lines gradually. A cable machine clears the immediate blockage and the drain flows, but the scale remains and the line slows again within weeks. Treating the job as a simple clog rather than a scale problem leads to repeated service calls instead of a lasting fix through hydro-jetting.
Trees and large shrubs planted when The Paseos was developed in the 2000s now have established root systems near sewer laterals. Roots cut by a cable or flushed by jetting regrow through the same joint if the pipe defect is not addressed. Without a camera inspection to locate the entry point, the line will back up again on a similar cycle regardless of how thoroughly it was cleared.
Some Paseos homes were built without a usable exterior cleanout, or the original fitting is cracked or inaccessible. Clearing or inspecting the main line then requires going through a toilet or a roof vent stack, which limits the reach of a cable and makes camera inspection difficult. Adding a cleanout resolves the access problem permanently and is most economical when the line is already open for another repair.
When a camera inspection finds a cracked joint or belly that needs excavation, caliche hardpan beneath the lot makes the trench harder to open and harder to bed a replacement pipe into evenly. Poorly compacted backfill in caliche also settles over time. An estimate that does not account for this excavation difficulty before digging starts is likely to change once work is underway.
What we offer in The Paseos
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.

Local Tips
If your main line has been cabled more than once in the past two years, ask for a camera inspection before the next clearing. In Paseos homes of this age, a recurring blockage usually has a structural or scale cause that cabling alone will not resolve.
Locate your sewer cleanout before you need it. In The Paseos, cleanouts are sometimes buried under mulch or pavers added after original construction. Knowing where it is and confirming it is accessible saves time during an emergency service call.
If a camera inspection is done before you close on a Paseos home, ask for the recorded footage rather than just a verbal summary. The recording documents the line's condition at purchase and is useful if a problem develops later or when you eventually sell.
When getting a sewer repair estimate for a Paseos lot, ask specifically how the contractor plans to handle caliche. Trenching through hardpan takes longer and costs more than digging in softer ground, and a written price should reflect that before work starts.

Real reviews from The Paseos 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

The Paseos is in the City of Las Vegas, ZIP 89138, so permitted work generally goes through the City of Las Vegas building department. Because Summerlin spans both the city and unincorporated Clark County and the boundary does not follow village names, we confirm the jurisdiction for your address before any permitted job.
Usually not. Homes here were plumbed in copper or PEX, with no galvanized, cast iron or polybutylene. The work at this age is mostly equipment - water heaters, expansion tanks, pressure regulators, recirculation pumps and original connectors - rather than the pipe itself.
Tank water heater installation typically runs $800 to $1,500 in the Las Vegas Valley, and tankless water heater installation $1,500 to $3,500. These are typical ranges, not a quote. Active Plumbing gives a written price before work starts.
Many homes in The Paseos were built with a stubbed softener loop in the garage that was never connected. It gives a straightforward place to install a softener or other treatment system, which helps water heaters and fixtures cope with water at about 280 parts per million.
It can be, as long as you plan for upkeep. In water this hard a tankless heater needs descaling on a regular interval, or performance drops. An exterior unit can also need Summerlin design review, so check with your association before mounting one on an outside wall.
Active Plumbing is open 24/7, and technicians arrive in 30 to 60 minutes anywhere in the valley, including The Paseos and western Summerlin.
Repeated blockages after cabling usually point to something left on the pipe wall or a structural defect rather than a simple debris clog. In homes of this age, the likely causes are root intrusion through a joint, scale buildup that narrows the bore, or a belly in the line that holds water and debris. A camera inspection shows which it is and where, so the fix addresses the actual cause rather than just clearing the symptom again.
The Paseos is in the City of Las Vegas, ZIP 89138, so permitted work goes through the City of Las Vegas building department. Whether a cleanout installation requires a permit depends on the scope and the building official's determination for that address. Confirm the permit requirement before work starts. Cleanout installation typically runs $250 to $600 in the Las Vegas Valley, and the price depends on depth, access and whether caliche or hardscape has to be cut through.
Yes, and it is a practical step on a home of this age. A camera run through the main sewer lateral before closing shows the condition of the pipe, any root intrusion, bellies or offsets, and whether the line has been repaired before. The footage is recorded, so you have a documented baseline. If the inspection finds damage, typical valley repair ranges are $1,500 to $5,000 for a section repair and $4,000 to $12,000 for full replacement.
