Plumbing for Section 10's custom homes on half-acre-plus lots between Sahara, Desert Inn, Rainbow and Buffalo. Active Plumbing traces yard lines, pool and barn water, gas to outdoor features, and mixed pipe in altered houses.
Section 10 is the square mile between Sahara Avenue and Desert Inn Road and between Rainbow Boulevard and Buffalo Drive, named for its legal survey section. It is made up entirely of custom homes on lots of half an acre or more, some well over an acre, with horse-friendly zoning in pockets and established barns on some older lots. There is no tract housing here, so no two homes share the same plumbing layout. The supply pipe depends on when your house was built: polybutylene is possible from about 1978 to 1995, Kitec from about 1995 to 2007, copper throughout, and PEX in newer homes. The oldest custom homes may still have galvanized steel, and houses altered more than once can mix several materials, with galvanic corrosion where dissimilar metals meet. Our Pipe & Fixture Services team identifies what is there before recommending a repair or repipe.
