Section 10 takes its name from its legal survey section and sits on the west side of the valley, roughly between Desert Inn Road, Sahara Avenue, Rainbow Boulevard and Buffalo Drive, close to The Lakes. It is one of the few parts of the valley made up only of custom homes on lots of half an acre or more, some well over an acre, with no mandatory HOA except in a few gated cul-de-sacs and horse-friendly zoning in pockets. Because every home was built individually across many decades, Active Plumbing crews find everything from galvanized supply in the oldest houses to polybutylene, Kitec, copper and modern PEX, often mixed together after renovations.
The Southern Nevada Water Authority rates the valley's water very hard, at about 280 parts per million or 16 grains per gallon, and large custom homes feel it in multiple water heaters, recirculation lines and high-end cartridges. On big lots the plumbing extends to pools, guest houses, workshops, barns and long yard and irrigation lines, where a leak can run for weeks before it shows. Gas to pool heaters, outdoor kitchens and fire features must be sized to the whole load. With no association on most lots, every line on the parcel is the owner's responsibility. Spring Valley is unincorporated Clark County, so permits run through the Clark County Department of Building and Fire Prevention, but addresses near Sahara Avenue can sit close to the City of Las Vegas line, so the parcel record is the reliable check, and sewer in unincorporated areas is handled by the Clark County Water Reclamation District.
Active Plumbing serves Section 10 residents alongside neighbors in The Lakes and West Sahara. The team understands custom construction of every era and prices and plans accordingly. For any plumbing concern in the neighborhood, call Active Plumbing at (702) 438-3357.
Local Expertise
Section 10 homes were built one at a time across many decades, so the supply pipe depends on the house: galvanized in the oldest, polybutylene in homes from about 1978 to 1995, Kitec from about 1995 to 2007, and copper or PEX otherwise. Older houses often mix several materials, with corrosion where dissimilar metals meet.
The Southern Nevada Water Authority rates the valley's water very hard, at about 280 parts per million. Large custom homes often run more than one water heater and recirculation systems, all scaling at once, and scale also fouls cartridges and outdoor fixtures. Whole-house treatment protects a large, expensive system.
On lots of half an acre or more, plumbing runs to pools, spas, guest houses, workshops, barns and long irrigation systems. A leak in a buried yard line can run unnoticed and show up first as a higher water bill, which makes outdoor leak detection a genuine service here.
Water heaters in Section 10 homes fail early in very hard water if they are never flushed, and larger homes often have more than one. Expansion tanks fail silently and show up as a dripping relief valve, and pressure regulators creep high or drop, so all three are worth checking together.
Pools, outdoor kitchens, fire features and generators all add gas demand on large lots. The line must be sized to the whole load of every gas appliance, not just the new one, or appliances underperform. Older gas piping in the oldest homes warrants inspection rather than assumption.
What we offer in The Section 10
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.

Expert Advice
Watch your water bill. On a half-acre or larger lot, a leak in a yard line, irrigation run or line to a guest house or barn can run for weeks before it shows, and an unexplained jump in usage is the first sign.
Test every shut-off valve under sinks and at toilets twice a year by turning them fully off and back on. In The Section 10's older homes, valves that sit unused for years will seize, leaving you unable to stop water flow quickly during a plumbing emergency.
If you are adding a pool heater, outdoor kitchen, fire feature or generator, have the gas line sized to the whole load of every gas appliance on the property, not just the new one.

Real reviews from The Section 10 and nearby Spring Valley 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.

The main shutoff in the front yard was buried and seized. They excavated, replaced it with a curb-stop, and set a valve box. That call was from West Sahara. We can kill water in ten seconds instead of a hunt.

Pricing in Section 10 varies by job type and by property, since every home is custom. Drain clearing often runs $150-$300, while repiping a large custom home can reach $4,000-$8,000 or more depending on size, layout and materials. Yard, pool and guest house lines are priced separately. Active Plumbing provides written estimates before any work begins.
Active Plumbing regularly serves Section 10 and the surrounding west valley, including The Lakes, West Sahara and the rest of Spring Valley. Whether you need Drain & Sewer Services, Water Heater Services, a yard line repair or a full repipe, our crews are used to large custom lots. Call (702) 438-3357 to confirm scheduling for your address.
For urgent situations in Section 10, Active Plumbing offers Emergency Plumbing response, often same-day or within hours. On a large lot, a yard line or main leak can run a long way before it shows, so shut off the main and call. Call (702) 438-3357 to reach a dispatcher who can route the nearest available technician to your address quickly.
Section 10 is named after its legal survey section and runs roughly between Desert Inn Road, Sahara Avenue, Rainbow Boulevard and Buffalo Drive. It is made up only of custom homes on half-acre or larger lots, mostly with no HOA, and some pockets allow horses. Because no two homes are alike and they were built across many decades, the pipe material depends on the individual house, and the plumbing extends well beyond it: long yard lines, pools, guest houses, barns and outdoor gas.
It depends on when your home was built and what has been changed since. The oldest custom homes can have galvanized steel supply, homes from about 1978 to 1995 may have polybutylene, and homes from about 1995 to 2007 may have Kitec. Older houses have often been altered more than once, so a plumber should identify every material in the house and check pressure before recommending spot repairs or a planned repipe.
Summer heat above 110°F is hardest on water heaters, expansion tanks, pool equipment and irrigation. Winter cold snaps can freeze exposed yard lines and outdoor fittings. The Southern Nevada Water Authority rates the valley's water very hard, at about 280 parts per million or 16 grains per gallon, so scale builds all year in heaters, cartridges and any animal water systems. A spring check of water heaters, pressure and yard lines before the heat arrives is worthwhile.
Yes. Active Plumbing holds Nevada State Contractors Board license #0047021 and carries general liability insurance. You can verify any Nevada contractor's license at nvcontractorsboard.com before signing a contract. Spring Valley is unincorporated Clark County, so permits run through the Clark County Department of Building and Fire Prevention, but addresses near Sahara Avenue can sit close to the City of Las Vegas line, so the parcel record is the reliable check, and gas work to pool heaters or outdoor kitchens must be sized to the whole load.
Expect a walkthrough of the system before any work is quoted, because every Section 10 property is different. That includes identifying the pipe materials, checking incoming pressure and the main shut-off, and asking about yard lines, pools, guest houses or animal water points. Active Plumbing uses the same process across the west valley, with written findings and a clear estimate.
