Plumbing for The Hills, an original Summerlin village in ZIP 89134 built from the early 1990s. Thirty-year copper reaching pinhole age, slab leaks, second-generation water heaters, golf-frontage irrigation leaks and HOA design review.
The Hills is one of Summerlin's original villages, built from the early 1990s on the eastern side of the community around the golf corridors. Hillpointe Road runs through its center past The Hills Park, William Lummis Elementary and The Adelson Educational Campus, with Town Center Drive and Summerlin Parkway carrying traffic out. Housing is a mix of detached tract and semi-custom homes, gated enclaves and some attached product, all built slab-on-grade. At thirty to thirty-five years old it is the second-oldest part of Summerlin after Sun City, which changes the kind of plumbing calls it produces compared with the newer villages farther west.
Emergency plumbing in The Hills covers burst pipe repair, slab leak detection and repair, electronic leak detection, and whole-home leak detection systems, available around the clock. What shapes this work in The Hills is the age of the housing stock: early-1990s copper that is now reaching pinhole territory, slab-on-grade construction throughout, and thirty-plus years of valley water at roughly 280 parts per million working through supply lines, heaters, and fittings. Active Plumbing has worked these conditions since 1991, with technicians reaching The Hills in 30 to 60 minutes.
Slab leak repair in The Hills often comes down to a choice between breaking concrete for a spot repair or rerouting the line through walls or the attic. In homes with stone or hardwood floors installed over the original slab, opening the concrete is far more disruptive and costly than a reroute. A house that has had one pinhole leak in aging copper is likely to develop more, so the reroute conversation is about long-term value, not just the current failure.
Homes along the golf corridors in The Hills run private irrigation beside heavily watered common land, which means a yard line failure can soak in slowly and show only as a rising water bill. Electronic leak detection using acoustic and line-tracing tools locates the break before any digging starts, which matters here because caliche makes excavation slower and more expensive than in softer ground, and an accurate pinpoint keeps the trench short.
Some homes in The Hills, particularly in gated enclaves, sit empty for extended periods. A whole-home leak detection system with an automatic shutoff valve on the main supply line closes the water if flow continues beyond normal patterns, limiting damage from a copper pinhole or supply line failure that would otherwise run unnoticed for days or weeks. Contractor access through gated entries needs to be arranged through the homeowner in advance.
The Hills includes attached housing alongside detached homes. When a burst pipe or active leak is behind a shared wall, Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 116 and the governing documents determine whether the pipe is the owner's responsibility or the association's before repair work is ordered. Settling that question on the first call avoids disputes over who authorizes the work and who is billed, which matters when water is actively spreading.

Local Knowledge
A Hills home that has already had one spot repair under the slab faces a different calculation on the second failure. Aging copper at thirty-plus years tends to develop pinholes in more than one place, so a second break raises the question of whether another concrete opening is worth it against a reroute through walls or the attic. That conversation belongs early, before the repair scope is set.
When a buried supply or irrigation line needs excavation in The Hills, caliche hardpan makes the trench slower and more expensive to open than in softer ground. Poorly compacted backfill from a prior dig can also settle under a pipe over time and pull it out of grade. Electronic detection that pinpoints the break accurately before digging starts keeps the trench as short as possible and holds down the total cost.
Several enclaves in The Hills are gated, and contractor access requires the homeowner to authorize entry in advance rather than arranging it at the gate. In a burst pipe or active leak situation, that step needs to happen on the first call so a technician is not held outside while water is spreading. Having the gate code or contact ready before an emergency is the practical fix.
Pressure regulators in thirty-year Hills homes wear out and can creep high without an obvious symptom, quietly stressing copper supply lines that are already approaching pinhole age. A technician checking incoming pressure on any emergency call can catch a regulator that is running above normal range before it accelerates a failure elsewhere in the system. A two-minute pressure check costs nothing extra and can change the repair conversation.
A hot supply line leaking under the slab in a Hills home often shows first as a warm patch on tile or a water heater running more than it should, not as visible water. By the time the bill rises noticeably, the leak may have been running for weeks. Acoustic and thermal detection equipment locates the source through the slab without opening the floor, so the repair decision is made with accurate information.
What we offer in The Hills
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
If your water heater relief valve is dripping, check the thermal expansion tank before replacing the valve. A failed expansion tank is a common cause in Hills homes, and replacing only the valve leaves the real problem in place.
Before scheduling any emergency repair in attached Hills housing, pull out your governing documents and confirm whether the pipe in question is your responsibility or the association's. That answer changes who authorizes the work and who pays, and it is faster to settle it before a technician arrives than after.
Ask for a pressure reading on every plumbing service call. A worn regulator running high in a home with aging copper is a quiet risk, and a two-minute check at the start of any visit can catch it before it contributes to the next failure.
If your Hills home sits empty for part of the year, verify the main shutoff valve actually closes fully before you leave. A valve that has not been turned in years can be stiff or only partially close, which defeats the purpose of shutting off the water against a copper pinhole.

Real reviews from The Hills and nearby Las Vegas neighborhoods.
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.

A pinhole choir started on the 1970s copper under the master. Sectional replacement with dielectric unions at the water heater. That call was from The Section Seven. The ceiling stain is the last one we plan to paint.

A tenant's toilet wax failed and soaked the ceiling of unit 2B. Same-day reset, new closet bolts, and a photo report for the file. That call was from Brewery Row. The tenant stayed and the claim never went to the carrier.

Yelp review, October 2025
The Hills sits in the City of Las Vegas, so permitted plumbing work in ZIP 89134 generally goes through the City of Las Vegas building department. Summerlin spans both the city and unincorporated Clark County and the line does not follow village names, so we confirm the jurisdiction for your exact address before pulling a permit.
Homes from the early 1990s were plumbed in copper that is now reaching the age where pinhole leaks begin, especially on hot lines and runs under the slab. Not every house leaks, but if yours has had one, more are likely, and that is worth weighing before choosing a spot repair over a repipe.
Slab leak detection typically runs $150 to $300 and slab leak repair $500 to $3,000 in the Las Vegas Valley. These are typical ranges, not a quote. Access, flooring and whether the line is repaired or rerouted all affect the price, and Active Plumbing gives a written price before work starts.
Lots along the golf corridors run their own irrigation next to heavily watered common land, so a broken irrigation line can soak in unnoticed for weeks. An unexplained jump in the bill is often the first clue. Leak detection can separate an irrigation leak from a supply leak inside the house.
An exterior tankless unit, a treatment system or any equipment visible on the outside of the house can need Summerlin design review, while interior work generally does not. Association approval and a building permit are separate, and both may apply to one project, so check with your association before installation.
Active Plumbing is open 24/7, and technicians arrive in 30 to 60 minutes anywhere in the valley, including The Hills and the rest of Summerlin. For a gated enclave, let your gate know we are coming so access is ready.
Not necessarily. Copper plumbed in the early 1990s is at the age where pinhole leaks recur rather than stay isolated. If you have had two failures, the honest conversation is whether a partial or whole reroute makes more sense than a third spot repair. A reroute runs a new line through walls or the attic and leaves the aging under-slab section abandoned, which avoids repeated concrete work and the floor disruption that comes with it.
Yes. Acoustic and electromagnetic line-tracing tools narrow a buried leak to a specific section before any excavation begins. On a landscaped lot that matters because caliche makes digging slow and expensive, and an accurate pinpoint keeps the trench as short as possible. Most detection visits are completed in a single trip, and you get a written price for any repair before work starts.
The device itself mounts on the main supply line inside the home, so it typically does not require Summerlin design review. If any component, such as a Wi-Fi antenna or conduit, ends up visible on the exterior, that can trigger review under the master association or village sub-association rules. Interior installation generally does not, but confirming with your association documents before scheduling is the straightforward way to avoid a dispute.
