Pittman plumbing for older Henderson ranch homes, from galvanized supply lines to root-filled sewer laterals
Customer financing available. Ask us about options.
Plumbing for Pittman, one of Henderson's oldest neighborhoods east of Boulder Highway. Older ranch homes with galvanized, polybutylene or mixed pipe, clay and cast iron sewer laterals, worn shut-off valves and rental repairs, permitted through the City of Henderson.
Pittman is a plain street grid east of Boulder Highway between Sunset Road and Warm Springs Road, with streets like Moser Drive, Galleria Drive and Westminster Way, Wells Park at its center and the Henderson Bird Viewing Preserve on its north edge. It is one of the oldest communities in the Henderson area. Housing first appeared around 1930 as workers arrived, the area took the Pittman name in 1942 and it merged with Henderson in 1953. Today it is a mix of single-story ranch homes and industrial business parks, mostly without a homeowners association, with Cadence growing on its east side. That history shows up behind the walls. The oldest homes can still have galvanized steel supply and cast iron drain, waste and vent piping, homes from about 1978 to 1995 fall in the polybutylene window, and later houses may have Kitec or copper old enough for pinhole leaks.
Local Knowledge
Corrosion and hard water scale narrow galvanized pipe from the inside, causing low pressure at individual fixtures and rust-tinted water long before a burst.
Homes from about 1978 to 1995 may have polybutylene, which becomes brittle with age and tends to fail again after repairs because the whole system has aged together.
Clay and cast iron laterals under mature landscaping let roots in, showing up as recurring slow drains before a full backup.
Repeated remodels leave original pipe, copper patches and PEX side by side, with galvanic corrosion at joints where dissimilar metals meet.
Main and fixture shut-offs that have not been turned in years often seize, which turns a small leak into a bigger one. Replacing them is a small job with large value.

What we offer in Pittman
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.

Local Tips
Find your main shut-off and test it now. In older Pittman homes it may be seized, and replacing it is a small job compared with a leak you cannot stop.
If several drains slow down at once, or the same drain keeps clogging, ask for a camera inspection of the sewer lateral to check for roots.
Look under the kitchen sink and behind the toilet. Gray plastic pipe with crimp rings likely means polybutylene, which is worth planning to replace.

Real reviews from Pittman 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.

Pittman is inside the City of Henderson, so permits, plan check and inspections go through the City of Henderson Development Services Center. Henderson also provides the water and sewer service. It is not Clark County or the City of Las Vegas.
A whole-house repipe typically runs $4,000 to $15,000 in the Las Vegas Valley. That is a market range, not a quote. The size of the house, the number of fixtures and what is behind the walls all affect the price, and Active Plumbing gives you a written price before work starts.

In older Pittman homes with galvanized steel supply, that is a classic early sign. The pipe narrows from the inside as corrosion and scale build, and discolored water at the tap is another clue. A pressure test and a look at the accessible runs show how far it has gone, and once galvanized is restricting flow, a repipe is the honest answer.
Polybutylene was used from about 1978 to 1995. It is usually gray, sometimes black, joined with plastic fittings and aluminum or copper crimp rings. Look under sinks, behind toilets and at the washer and water heater connections. The class action settled in 1995 and claim windows closed long ago, so a scheduled repipe is the usual recommendation.
Under Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 118A, a landlord must keep plumbing and hot water in working order. Tenants typically call the landlord or property manager first, so it helps to have a plumber's number ready and to know where the main shut-off is before a leak happens.
