UNLV area plumbing for landlords, managers and tenants: shared stacks, rental water heaters and pre-term turnover repairs
Customer financing available. Ask us about options.
Plumbing for the UNLV area in unincorporated Paradise, built around 1960s and 1970s apartments, fourplexes and student rentals, covering shared drain stacks, shared water heaters, aging supply pipe and pre-term turnover work.
The UNLV area is the University District around the campus at 4505 South Maryland Parkway, framed by Tropicana Avenue, Flamingo Road, Paradise Road, Harmon Avenue and Swenson Street. It lies in unincorporated Paradise, not the City of Las Vegas, so plumbing permits and inspections go through the Clark County Department of Building and Fire Prevention. Much of the housing is 1960s and 1970s apartment complexes, fourplexes, small multi-unit buildings and converted houses rented to students, with a smaller group of long-time owner-occupiers. Most calls here start with a tenant, but the landlord or property manager authorizes and pays, so we confirm who owns the building before the visit. Under Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 118A, landlords must keep working plumbing and hot water in a rental.
Local Knowledge
A blockage in a shared stack backs up every unit on it. Scaled or cracked cast iron in buildings of this age often needs a camera inspection rather than repeated cabling.
Original supply pipe, including galvanized steel in older buildings, can narrow inside or be undersized for today's load, so pressure drops when several units use water at once.
Where one water heater serves several units, a failure leaves multiple households without hot water. Rental heaters are rarely flushed and scale up in very hard valley water.
Shared student housing puts heavy use on small systems. Jammed disposals, toilets blocked by wipes and drains fouled by cooking grease are routine and largely preventable with clear tenant guidance.
Running toilets, failed fill valves, worn angle stops and dripping taps pile up at move-out and need attention before a new tenancy begins.

What we offer in UNLV Area
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
Tenants should report plumbing faults to the landlord or manager in writing, since the owner authorizes and pays for most repairs.
Landlords with several units can book pre-term plumbing checks in early summer, ahead of the late-summer move-in rush.
Add a short note to tenancy packs on what not to put down disposals and toilets, such as wipes, grease and fibrous food waste.

Real reviews from UNLV Area and nearby Paradise neighborhoods.
A bathroom group shared a 2-inch that sagged behind the tub. They sistered a new arm with proper pitch from an access panel. We were in West Sahara, Spring Valley. The tub no longer holds last night's soap.

An outdoor shower at the casita had no tempering and scalded guests. A listed mixing valve and a freeze-resistant shutoff at the wall. We were in Chinatown Area, Spring Valley. Guests can use it without a warning sign.

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 UNLV area is in unincorporated Paradise, part of Clark County, not the City of Las Vegas. Plumbing permits, plan check and inspections go through the Clark County Department of Building and Fire Prevention, and sewer in unincorporated areas falls under the Clark County Water Reclamation District.
Drain cleaning typically runs $150 to $350 across the Las Vegas Valley. That is a typical range, not a quote. A shared stack, a camera inspection or access through occupied units can change the scope, and Active Plumbing gives the owner or manager a written price before work starts.
Active Plumbing is open 24/7, and technicians arrive in 30 to 60 minutes anywhere in the valley, including ZIP codes 89119 and 89109. Campus traffic during term and assigned apartment parking can affect the visit, so let us know where to park and who can open the unit. Call (702) 438-3357.
Under Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 118A, a landlord must keep a rental habitable, which includes working plumbing and hot water. Report the problem to your landlord or property manager in writing. If the owner asks us to do the repair, we confirm their authorization before starting.
Many buildings here share cast iron drain stacks that scale and crack with age. Cabling clears the blockage for a while, but a camera inspection shows whether the line itself is failing. Heavy student occupancy also adds wipes, grease and disposal misuse, so simple tenant guidance helps too.
Yes. Late summer brings the heaviest move-outs, and the same jobs repeat across units: blocked drains and disposals, running toilets, worn fill valves and angle stops, and dripping taps. Scheduling those as one planned visit with the manager is usually simpler than separate calls.
