Polybutylene or Kitec? We identify what is behind the walls of your Green Valley home

Plumbing for Green Valley, Henderson's original master-planned community since 1978. Polybutylene and Kitec identification, cast iron drain camera work, repipes and water heaters from a licensed family business.
Green Valley was the first master-planned community in the Las Vegas Valley, started by American Nevada Company in 1978 across about 7,100 acres of Henderson along Green Valley Parkway. Its long build span is what makes plumbing here unusual: the earliest phases fall inside the polybutylene window, which ran to 1995, and later phases fall inside the 1995 to 2007 Kitec window. Polybutylene is usually gray pipe with gray acetal fittings and metal crimp rings, and it turns brittle from the inside and fails without warning. Kitec is orange and blue composite pipe with brass fittings that lose zinc, restrict flow and then leak. Both claim settlements have closed, so owners carry the cost. We confirm which material your house has on site, and where either is found a scheduled repipe through our Pipe & Fixture Services, with water back on at the end of each working day, beats patching one leak after another.
Local Knowledge
Early-phase homes may have gray polybutylene that turns brittle and fails without warning, with repeat failures after a spot repair.
Homes built from 1995 onward may have Kitec, where brass fittings lose zinc, restrict flow and leak. Weak flow at a fixture is an early sign.
Original cast iron in the oldest phases scales, cracks and separates at joints, showing up first as slow drains that keep returning.
More than forty years of mature trees and landscaping can push roots into older sewer laterals.
Very hard water scales tank heaters, and worn pressure regulators can creep high and strain an already weakened supply system.

What we offer in Green Valley
When the supply pipe in a home is failing everywhere at once, spot repairs only buy time. Active Plumbing replaces the water lines in Las Vegas Valley homes from the main shutoff to every fixture, using PEX or copper installed to the local code. We confirm what pipe you have on site, handle the permit, and give you a written price before work starts.
Learn more →Fixtures are the parts of your plumbing you use every day, and in the valley's very hard water they wear out sooner than people expect. Active Plumbing repairs and replaces faucets, toilets, shower valves, sinks, garbage disposals and appliance connections, and our trucks carry common repair parts so many jobs finish in one visit. You get a written price before work starts.
Learn more →A remodel is the one time the walls and floor are open, so it is the right time to get the plumbing behind them right. Active Plumbing plans and installs new drain, vent and supply lines, works through rough-in inspection with the building department for your address, and sets the finished fixtures. You get a written price before work starts.
Learn more →A backflow assembly keeps water from your irrigation system or building from flowing back into the public supply. In the Las Vegas Valley these assemblies must be tested by a certified tester at installation, after repair or relocation, and at least once a year. Active Plumbing handles the test, the repair and the replacement, with a written price before work starts.
Learn more →A new building or accessory unit gets its plumbing in stages, and each stage has to land at the right point in the schedule. Active Plumbing handles the underground, the rough-in and the trim for new homes, casitas and ADUs across the Las Vegas Valley. You get a written price before work starts, and we work alongside your builder or general contractor.
Learn more →We confirm the supply material, check pressure and leak history, and map how lines can be routed through the house.
You get a written price covering PEX or copper and wall openings, and we file the permit with the building department for your address.
New lines run from the main shutoff to each fixture, with water restored at the end of each working day where possible.
The new system is pressure tested and inspected before walls close, then fixtures are reconnected and checked.

Local Tips
Planning to sell in Green Valley? Find out your supply pipe material before listing, since the buyer's inspector will likely find it anyway.
If you have polybutylene or Kitec, have incoming pressure checked and keep it in a normal range to reduce strain on the system until it is replaced.
For a slow drain that keeps coming back in an older phase, ask for a camera inspection before paying for repeated cabling.

Real reviews from Green Valley and nearby Henderson neighborhoods.
The hall bath faucet leaked at the base and stained the vanity. Cartridge, supply stops, and a new escutcheon, not a full remodel. We were in Rancho Bel Air, Las Vegas. The wood dried and we kept the stone top we liked.

A roof vent was missing its screen and pigeons nested in the stack. They pulled the nest, camera-verified the run, and capped the vent. We were in Elkhorn, North Las Vegas. The bath fan no longer smells like a coop.

A slab cleanout was buried under a paver patio with no marker. They located it, set a traffic-rated lid, and mapped it. We were in Mountain Trails, Summerlin. The next clog will not require a treasure hunt.

Green Valley is inside the City of Henderson, not Clark County or the City of Las Vegas. Permits, plan check and inspections go through the City of Henderson Development Services Center under the Southern Nevada Amendments to the Uniform Plumbing Code as Henderson has adopted them. We confirm the permit position for your address before work starts.
A typical Las Vegas Valley range for drain cleaning is $150 to $350. That is a market range, not a quote. For recurring clogs in older cast iron lines we often suggest a camera inspection first, and we give you a written price before any work starts.
We are open 24/7 and arrive in 30 to 60 minutes anywhere in the valley, including every part of Green Valley from Sunset Road down to the 215. Trucks carry common repair parts, so many jobs finish in one visit.
It depends on when your phase was built. Early Green Valley homes fall in the polybutylene window that ended in 1995, and later homes fall in the 1995 to 2007 Kitec window. Polybutylene is usually gray with gray acetal fittings and crimp rings. Kitec is orange for hot and blue for cold with brass fittings. We confirm it on site under sinks, at the water heater and where pipe leaves the slab.
The polybutylene settlement from the Cox v. Shell Oil case and the Kitec settlement deadlines, the last on January 9 2020, have passed, so owners now pay for replacement themselves. If you believe your situation is unusual, an attorney is the right person to ask. Our job is to tell you what you have and what a repipe involves.
The oldest phases have cast iron drain lines that scale inside, crack and separate at joints, and decades of mature landscaping can send roots into laterals. Repeated cabling only buys time. A camera inspection shows the actual condition so you can decide between repair and replacement.
