Fair pricing and same-day response for The Section 10 homeowners.
Financing available - same-day approval
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
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.

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.

Serving The Section 10, Spring Valley and all of Clark
Active Plumbing handles emergency plumbing calls throughout Spring Valley, covering the full range of neighborhoods from newer master-planned developments to older mid-century corridors like Section 10. The team is dispatched from Las Vegas and routes to the nearest available technician regardless of which Spring Valley street the call comes from.
Spring Valley sits in a particularly demanding zone for emergency response because the neighborhood mix means crews encounter everything from modern PEX and copper systems in recently built homes to the corroded galvanized steel supply lines common in Section 10. Knowing which type of system is likely before arriving helps technicians load the right materials and tools, reducing the time between arrival and actual repair. For any Spring Valley address, call (702) 438-3357 around the clock.
An emergency plumber serving Spring Valley needs familiarity with both the neighborhood's older construction stock and the specific soil and water conditions that make plumbing failures here different from other parts of the Las Vegas Valley. Active Plumbing technicians working Spring Valley calls understand that clay-heavy soil movement under slab foundations is a recurring factor, not an occasional one.
Beyond technical knowledge, Spring Valley homeowners should confirm that any emergency plumber they call dispatches a live person rather than routing calls to voicemail. Active Plumbing uses a live dispatch team available at all hours so that when a pipe lets go at 2 a.m., the response is immediate and the technician arrives with an upfront quote ready before touching anything. Confirming licensure before work begins is equally important for any Spring Valley repair situation.
Real reviews from The Section 10 and nearby Spring Valley neighborhoods.
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.

The master shower niche leaked into the closet behind it. They opened the back, reset the mixing valve, and waterproofed the pan lip. That call was from The Lakes. The closet is empty of buckets.

A sewage ejector in a below-grade bathroom was short-cycling. New float, check valve, and a vent the last crew skipped. We were in The Lakes, Spring Valley. The bath is usable and the pump runs once, not ten times.

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.
