Plumbing for Green Valley, Henderson's original master-planned community since 1978. Polybutylene and Kitec identification, cast iron drain camera work, repipes and water heaters from a licensed family business.
Green Valley was the first master-planned community in the Las Vegas Valley, started by American Nevada Company in 1978 across about 7,100 acres of Henderson along Green Valley Parkway. Its long build span is what makes plumbing here unusual: the earliest phases fall inside the polybutylene window, which ran to 1995, and later phases fall inside the 1995 to 2007 Kitec window. Polybutylene is usually gray pipe with gray acetal fittings and metal crimp rings, and it turns brittle from the inside and fails without warning. Kitec is orange and blue composite pipe with brass fittings that lose zinc, restrict flow and then leak. Both claim settlements have closed, so owners carry the cost. We confirm which material your house has on site, and where either is found a scheduled repipe through our Pipe & Fixture Services, with water back on at the end of each working day, beats patching one leak after another.
Local Knowledge
Early-phase homes may have gray polybutylene that turns brittle and fails without warning, with repeat failures after a spot repair.
Homes built from 1995 onward may have Kitec, where brass fittings lose zinc, restrict flow and leak. Weak flow at a fixture is an early sign.
Original cast iron in the oldest phases scales, cracks and separates at joints, showing up first as slow drains that keep returning.
More than forty years of mature trees and landscaping can push roots into older sewer laterals.
Very hard water scales tank heaters, and worn pressure regulators can creep high and strain an already weakened supply system.

What we offer in Green Valley
Water running that you cannot stop, sewage coming up through a drain, or no water at all - these do not wait for business hours, and neither does Active Plumbing. A fourth-generation family business serving the valley since 1991, we answer around the clock and send a licensed technician who arrives in 30 to 60 minutes. Our trucks carry common repair parts, so many emergencies are finished in one visit.
Learn more →A burst pipe is a supply line that has split, blown a fitting or corroded through, and it keeps releasing water at full system pressure until someone shuts it off. Active Plumbing has handled these emergencies across the Las Vegas Valley since 1991. We isolate the break, show you what failed, and repair it once you have a written price.
Learn more →A slab leak is a leak in a water line running beneath a home's concrete foundation. Because slab-on-grade construction is standard across the valley, this is a distinct and familiar category of work for us. We locate the leak before any concrete is touched, then explain whether a spot repair or a reroute makes more sense for your house.
Learn more →Electronic leak detection answers one question before any wall, floor or yard is opened: exactly where is the water going? Active Plumbing uses acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging and electromagnetic line tracing to find hidden leaks across the Las Vegas Valley. You get the location, the likely cause and your repair options in plain terms.
Learn more →Most water damage gets serious because nobody is home when a pipe or supply line fails. A whole-home leak detection system closes the main for you and sends an alert to your phone. Active Plumbing installs devices such as Flo by Moen and Phyn on the main line and sets them up for how your household actually uses water.
Learn more →Call (702) 438-3357, 24 hours a day. We take your address and the problem and talk you through shutting off the water while a technician heads out.

Local Tips
Planning to sell in Green Valley? Find out your supply pipe material before listing, since the buyer's inspector will likely find it anyway.
If you have polybutylene or Kitec, have incoming pressure checked and keep it in a normal range to reduce strain on the system until it is replaced.
For a slow drain that keeps coming back in an older phase, ask for a camera inspection before paying for repeated cabling.

Real reviews from Green Valley and nearby Henderson neighborhoods.
Had a slab leak that was killing our water bill. They found it fast with leak detection and fixed it without tearing up the whole floor, which saved us thousands compared to the first quote we got elsewhere. Showed up exactly when they said, explained the price line by line before starting, and the work was clean. Fair and professional.

The water hammer from the washer was shaking the hall pictures. Arrestors at the box and a re-secured drop from the attic. We were in The Section Seven, Las Vegas. The house went quiet on spin cycle.

The kitchen pot-filler dripped behind the range and warped the toe-kick. Shutoff, new valve, and a listed drop from the cold riser. That call was from Rhodes Ranch. The range slid back and the wood is drying.

Green Valley is inside the City of Henderson, not Clark County or the City of Las Vegas. Permits, plan check and inspections go through the City of Henderson Development Services Center under the Southern Nevada Amendments to the Uniform Plumbing Code as Henderson has adopted them. We confirm the permit position for your address before work starts.
A typical Las Vegas Valley range for drain cleaning is $150 to $350. That is a market range, not a quote. For recurring clogs in older cast iron lines we often suggest a camera inspection first, and we give you a written price before any work starts.
We are open 24/7 and arrive in 30 to 60 minutes anywhere in the valley, including every part of Green Valley from Sunset Road down to the 215. Trucks carry common repair parts, so many jobs finish in one visit.
It depends on when your phase was built. Early Green Valley homes fall in the polybutylene window that ended in 1995, and later homes fall in the 1995 to 2007 Kitec window. Polybutylene is usually gray with gray acetal fittings and crimp rings. Kitec is orange for hot and blue for cold with brass fittings. We confirm it on site under sinks, at the water heater and where pipe leaves the slab.
The polybutylene settlement from the Cox v. Shell Oil case and the Kitec settlement deadlines, the last on January 9 2020, have passed, so owners now pay for replacement themselves. If you believe your situation is unusual, an attorney is the right person to ask. Our job is to tell you what you have and what a repipe involves.
The oldest phases have cast iron drain lines that scale inside, crack and separate at joints, and decades of mature landscaping can send roots into laterals. Repeated cabling only buys time. A camera inspection shows the actual condition so you can decide between repair and replacement.
