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.

A gas safety inspection from Active Plumbing checks the system from the meter outlet to each appliance and gives you a clear, written list of what we found. If something needs repair, you get a written price before any work starts.

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.
The pool heater would not stay lit and we smelled gas at the stub. A sniffer found a loose flare, they remade the joint, and soaped it. We were in Pittman, Henderson. The heater fired and the yard no longer had that odor.

Had a gas line run for our new range and pool heater. They measured for BTU, pulled the permit, pressure tested, and got the inspection. Took 2 days. No callbacks. You do not want to cheap out on gas - we went with a company that has been here since 1991.

A wet bar fridge line was 1/4-inch plastic mashed in a hinge. Copper with a shutoff and a strain-relief grommet. We were in Santa Barbara, Summerlin. The hinge swings and the fridge still makes ice.

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.
Technicians arrive in 30 to 60 minutes anywhere in the Las Vegas Valley, and Active Plumbing is open 24/7. Trucks carry common repair parts, so many jobs in Pittman are finished in one visit. Call (702) 438-3357.
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.
