UNLV area plumbing for landlords, managers and tenants: shared stacks, rental water heaters and pre-term turnover repairs
Customer financing available. Ask us about options.
Plumbing for the UNLV area in unincorporated Paradise, built around 1960s and 1970s apartments, fourplexes and student rentals, covering shared drain stacks, shared water heaters, aging supply pipe and pre-term turnover work.
The UNLV area is the University District around the campus at 4505 South Maryland Parkway, framed by Tropicana Avenue, Flamingo Road, Paradise Road, Harmon Avenue and Swenson Street. It lies in unincorporated Paradise, not the City of Las Vegas, so plumbing permits and inspections go through the Clark County Department of Building and Fire Prevention. Much of the housing is 1960s and 1970s apartment complexes, fourplexes, small multi-unit buildings and converted houses rented to students, with a smaller group of long-time owner-occupiers. Most calls here start with a tenant, but the landlord or property manager authorizes and pays, so we confirm who owns the building before the visit. Under Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 118A, landlords must keep working plumbing and hot water in a rental.
Local Knowledge
A blockage in a shared stack backs up every unit on it. Scaled or cracked cast iron in buildings of this age often needs a camera inspection rather than repeated cabling.
Original supply pipe, including galvanized steel in older buildings, can narrow inside or be undersized for today's load, so pressure drops when several units use water at once.
Where one water heater serves several units, a failure leaves multiple households without hot water. Rental heaters are rarely flushed and scale up in very hard valley water.
Shared student housing puts heavy use on small systems. Jammed disposals, toilets blocked by wipes and drains fouled by cooking grease are routine and largely preventable with clear tenant guidance.
Running toilets, failed fill valves, worn angle stops and dripping taps pile up at move-out and need attention before a new tenancy begins.

What we offer in UNLV Area
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
Tenants should report plumbing faults to the landlord or manager in writing, since the owner authorizes and pays for most repairs.
Landlords with several units can book pre-term plumbing checks in early summer, ahead of the late-summer move-in rush.
Add a short note to tenancy packs on what not to put down disposals and toilets, such as wipes, grease and fibrous food waste.

Real reviews from UNLV Area and nearby Paradise neighborhoods.
A fountain pump kept losing prime because the makeup valve stuck open. They replaced the float valve and added a vacuum breaker. We were in Sunset Park, Paradise. The fountain holds a level instead of flooding the planter.

The copper manifold in a 2004 tract home had two closed ports weeping. Manifold rebuild and labeled PEX home-runs to the baths. That call was from Sunset Park. The utility closet is dry and mapped.

Burst pipe in the wall at 10 PM. Active Plumbing had someone out by 11. He shut the water off, located the break, and had it repaired that night. No water damage to the drywall. Price was what they quoted on the phone. Solid emergency service.

The UNLV area is in unincorporated Paradise, part of Clark County, not the City of Las Vegas. Plumbing permits, plan check and inspections go through the Clark County Department of Building and Fire Prevention, and sewer in unincorporated areas falls under the Clark County Water Reclamation District.
Drain cleaning typically runs $150 to $350 across the Las Vegas Valley. That is a typical range, not a quote. A shared stack, a camera inspection or access through occupied units can change the scope, and Active Plumbing gives the owner or manager a written price before work starts.
Active Plumbing is open 24/7, and technicians arrive in 30 to 60 minutes anywhere in the valley, including ZIP codes 89119 and 89109. Campus traffic during term and assigned apartment parking can affect the visit, so let us know where to park and who can open the unit. Call (702) 438-3357.
Under Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 118A, a landlord must keep a rental habitable, which includes working plumbing and hot water. Report the problem to your landlord or property manager in writing. If the owner asks us to do the repair, we confirm their authorization before starting.
Many buildings here share cast iron drain stacks that scale and crack with age. Cabling clears the blockage for a while, but a camera inspection shows whether the line itself is failing. Heavy student occupancy also adds wipes, grease and disposal misuse, so simple tenant guidance helps too.
Yes. Late summer brings the heaviest move-outs, and the same jobs repeat across units: blocked drains and disposals, running toilets, worn fill valves and angle stops, and dripping taps. Scheduling those as one planned visit with the manager is usually simpler than separate calls.
