The Hills sits on the eastern side of Summerlin along the golf corridors off Hillpointe Road, built from the early 1990s in a mix of detached tract homes, semi-custom lots and gated enclaves. At thirty to thirty-five years old it is the second-oldest part of Summerlin, which puts it in a different category from newer villages like The Paseos: original copper supply is reaching the age where pinhole leaks begin, particularly on hot lines and under-slab runs. That means a slab leak here is a genuine probability rather than a construction anomaly, and a house that has had one pinhole leak in copper this old will typically have more. The slab-on-grade construction means under-slab lines are not accessible without either opening the floor or rerouting above it, and in homes with stone or hardwood floors a reroute is frequently better value than breaking through.
The Southern Nevada Water Authority reports valley water at 280 parts per million—about 16 grains per gallon—categorised as very hard. Thirty years of that water has worked on everything: water heaters that failed early from scale on elements and tank bottoms, cartridges fouled so thoroughly that showers swing between hot and cold, blocked aerators and appliance inlet screens, and recirculation systems running harder than they should. Homes fronting the golf corridors carry private irrigation alongside shared common-area watering, and a yard line failure on a landscaped lot can run unnoticed for weeks before it shows as an unexplained bill. Caliche underlies much of the valley, and trenching through it is slower and more expensive than softer ground—a fact that belongs in any honest conversation about what a service line or lateral repair costs in this neighbourhood. Summerlin spans both unincorporated Clark County and the City of Las Vegas, and the permit counter for any given address depends on which side of that boundary the property sits, so the correct jurisdiction is confirmed per address before any permitted work is quoted.
Active Plumbing has worked the Las Vegas Valley since 1991 and holds Nevada State Contractors Board licence #0047021, verifiable at nvcontractorsboard.com. For Hills residents, that history means familiarity with the copper-era construction this village represents, with Electronic Leak Detection to locate an under-slab failure without unnecessary demolition, and with Water Heater Services for equipment that in this water benefits from regular flushing and, where the pattern of early failure keeps repeating, from upstream scale treatment. Gated enclaves require access to be arranged through the homeowner in advance, and attached product in the village raises HOA boundary questions under Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 116 that are worth settling before anything is ordered. Owners of second homes or seasonally vacant properties in the gated sections should note that a pinhole leak in copper can run a long time before anyone notices—a shut-off check at the start of each occupancy costs nothing.
Active Plumbing also serves nearby communities including Spring Valley and Whitney, where similar build-era and water-quality conditions apply. For Drain Cleaning, tank and tankless water heater work, or an under-slab leak question, call (702) 438-3357.
Local Expertise
Homes in The Hills were plumbed in copper from the early 1990s, putting supply lines at thirty to thirty-five years. On hot lines and under-slab runs, copper of this age reaches the point where pinhole leaks begin. The slab-on-grade construction means the line is not accessible without opening the floor or rerouting above it, and a house that has had one pinhole leak in copper this old will usually develop more.
The Southern Nevada Water Authority reports valley water at 280 parts per million—about 16 grains per gallon, classified very hard. Thirty years of that water deposits calcium and magnesium scale on water heater elements and tank bottoms, narrows supply lines, clogs cartridges and aerators, and fouls appliance inlet screens. In homes on a second or third water heater, scale accumulation is the explanation for the repeated failure pattern.
Homes fronting the golf corridors carry private irrigation alongside common-area watering, and a yard line failure on a landscaped lot can run unnoticed for weeks before it appears as an unexplained spike in water usage. Exterior line repairs also run into caliche, the cemented hardpan common under valley soil, which makes excavation slower and more expensive than in softer ground.
Pressure regulators installed in the 1990s wear out and either creep high—quietly stressing every downstream fixture—or drop and produce a noticeable complaint. A dripping temperature-pressure relief valve is frequently an expansion tank problem rather than a faulty valve, and expansion tanks fail silently. A two-minute incoming pressure check on every service call catches both before they cause downstream damage.
Summerlin spans both unincorporated Clark County and the City of Las Vegas, so the building department with permit authority depends on the specific address rather than the village name. A master association with village sub-associations also governs under NRS Chapter 116, and anything visible on the exterior—a tankless unit, a treatment system, a water heater enclosure—can require design review approval as a separate track from the building permit.

Expert Advice
Before quoting any permitted plumbing work in The Hills, confirm which side of the Clark County and City of Las Vegas boundary the address sits on—both jurisdictions serve this village and they run separate permit counters with separate processes.
If your Hills home is seasonally vacant or rented out, a shut-off check at each occupancy is worthwhile: a pinhole leak in thirty-year copper can run for an extended period before anyone in a gated or part-time-occupied property notices the water bill or the floor.
In attached product within The Hills, the governing documents under NRS Chapter 116 decide whether pipe inside a wall is the owner's responsibility or the association's—settling that question before ordering materials avoids a costly assumption.

Real reviews from The Hills and nearby Las Vegas neighborhoods.
The tankless and the grill were starving each other on a 3/4 riser. They upsized the branch and added a sediment trap at each appliance. We were in Downtown Las Vegas, Las Vegas. Both fire together now without the flame going lazy.

A new range needed a dedicated line the builder never stubbed. They trenched a coated line, pressure-tested, and waited on inspection. That call was from Downtown Las Vegas. The range is permitted and the inspector's tag is in the drawer.

Yelp review, June 2024
The outdoor kitchen was still on a flimsy rubber whip from a party store. A buried steel line with a shutoff at the island replaced the whip. We were in Scotch 80s, Las Vegas. The grill lights on the first click and the HOA signed off.

Yelp review, March 2026
Summerlin spans both unincorporated Clark County and the City of Las Vegas, and the boundary does not follow village lines. The permit counter that applies depends on your specific address, not on the village name. Active Plumbing confirms the correct jurisdiction before quoting any permitted work in The Hills, so you are dealing with the right department from the first step.
Copper of thirty to thirty-five years in this water does tend to develop additional pinholes once the first appears, and that is the honest thing to weigh when deciding between a spot repair and a partial or full repipe. The slab-on-grade construction means the under-slab line is not accessible without either opening the floor or rerouting above it. In a finished home with stone or hardwood floors, rerouting is frequently better value than breaking through. Electronic Leak Detection is the first step—it locates the failure precisely before any decision is made about repair method.
The Southern Nevada Water Authority reports valley water at 280 parts per million—about 16 grains per gallon, classified very hard. Scale builds on heating elements and tank bottoms, causing a tank that is never flushed to work harder and fail earlier than its rated life. In a home that is on a second or third unit, scale accumulation is the explanation for the pattern, and Tank Water Heater Installation paired with a scale-reduction discussion addresses the cause rather than just replacing the unit again.
The Summerlin master association and village sub-associations operate under NRS Chapter 116, and design review applies to anything visible on the exterior—an exterior tankless unit, a treatment system enclosure or equipment on a street-facing elevation. Interior plumbing work does not require HOA design review approval. Where exterior work is involved, association approval and the building department permit are separate tracks and both may apply to the same project.
Active Plumbing responds to emergencies across the Las Vegas Valley, including The Hills, within 30 to 60 minutes. For owners of gated enclave properties, access needs to be arranged through the homeowner before a crew can reach the door, so mentioning a gate code or guest authorization on the first call avoids delay. Active Plumbing also serves nearby communities including Spring Valley and North Las Vegas with the same response commitment.
A yard line or irrigation failure on a landscaped lot in The Hills can run unnoticed for weeks before it shows as an unexplained water bill or meter movement. Electronic Leak Detection allows the line to be located and the failure found without excavating the entire run. Once the break is pinpointed, repair cost can be estimated accurately, including the caliche factor—trenching through the cemented hardpan common under valley soil here is slower and more expensive than in softer ground, and that belongs in the cost conversation.
At 280 ppm—16 grains per gallon—valley water deposits calcium and magnesium scale throughout a plumbing system over time. In a Hills home of this age, that shows as clogged aerators, cartridges that make showers run hot and cold, blocked appliance inlet screens and recirculation systems working harder than they should. Drain Cleaning addresses the accumulation in drain lines, and cartridge or aerator service restores fixture performance. Whole-house scale reduction protects the newer fixtures and equipment the owner has already replaced. Similar hard-water histories are common in same-era homes in Green Valley Ranch and Coronado Ranch.
Active Plumbing holds Nevada State Contractors Board licence #0047021 and has been continuously licensed since 1991. Licence status, classification, bond and workers compensation coverage are all public record and can be verified free at nvcontractorsboard.com. Nevada licences contractors statewide through the NSCB; the city or county building department for the address governs permits, and those are two separate checks. Homeowners in The Hills, as in Huntridge or Seven Hills, are entitled to verify both before work begins.
