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
A gas leak is the one plumbing problem where your first call is not to a plumber. Get everyone out, call Southwest Gas from outside, and once the area is safe, Active Plumbing tracks down the leak and repairs it. Technicians arrive in 30 to 60 minutes anywhere in the valley, 24/7.
Learn more →A new gas appliance is only as good as the line feeding it. Active Plumbing installs gas piping across the Las Vegas Valley, from a single connection for a range or dryer to a new main line run, sized to the load and inspected through the building department for your address. You get a written price before work starts.
Learn more →Gas lines rarely end up where a remodel needs them, and older piping was often sized for fewer appliances than a home runs today. Active Plumbing moves existing gas lines and replaces undersized sections across the Las Vegas Valley, with the whole system recalculated, permitted and pressure tested. You get a written price before work starts.
Learn more →Most gas problems build slowly, at a connector, a valve or a joint nobody has looked at in years. 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.
Learn more →An outdoor kitchen or fire feature is only as good as the gas line feeding it. Active Plumbing plans, sizes and installs exterior gas piping across the Las Vegas Valley, pulls the permit through the building department for your address and pressure tests every run. You get a written price before work starts.

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.

Real reviews from The Section 10 and nearby Spring Valley neighborhoods.
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.

A sewer camera showed a tap-root invasion at the parkway. They cut a spot repair and installed a root-barrier wrap. We were in Capri At The Vistas, Summerlin. The parkway tree stayed and the line is clear.

Yelp review, August 2026
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.

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.
