Pipe & Fixture Services in Las Vegas, NV

Yes. The permit goes through the building department for your address: the City of Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas, Boulder City, or Clark County for unincorporated areas like Paradise, Spring Valley and Enterprise. An unpermitted repipe can cause trouble when you sell, and permitted work must be done by a licensed contractor.

Plumbing contractors are licensed by the Nevada State Contractors Board, and any license is verifiable at nvcontractorsboard.com. Active Plumbing holds license #0047021, has served the valley since 1991, and has a 4.9 Google rating with more than 880 reviews. Ask for the number and check it before you hire.

It depends on the pipe, not just the leak count. Polybutylene and corroded galvanized tend to fail throughout the house, so spot repairs keep coming. A single pinhole in otherwise sound copper is usually a repair. We identify the material and show you what we find.

Build era is a guide. Pre-1960s homes in the historic core often have galvanized steel, many 1970s to early 1990s homes have polybutylene, some late 1990s and 2000s homes have Kitec, copper spans the middle decades, and newer homes mostly have PEX. We always confirm on site.

Both are approved under the local plumbing code. PEX is flexible, needs fewer fittings and usually fewer wall openings, and costs less in labor. Copper is rigid and long proven, and some owners prefer it. We can price both so you can compare.

Most homes take a few days depending on size, layout and access. Water is off for part of each working day, and we restore it at the end of the day wherever the layout allows. Ask any contractor whether wall patching is included so quotes compare fairly.

Valley water is about 280 parts per million, roughly 16 grains per gallon, which is very hard. Scale builds in valves, fixtures and water heaters regardless of pipe material, so a softener or scale-reduction system is worth considering alongside a repipe.

Drain cleaning typically runs $150 to $350 in the Las Vegas Valley. That is a typical market range, not a quote. Active Plumbing gives a general idea of pricing on the phone and a written price on site before any work starts.

Yes. Crawl space houses do not have slab leaks in the usual sense, because supply and drain lines run under the floor where they can be reached. The typical work in these older homes is repiping galvanized supply lines, replacing aging cast iron drains, updating original fixtures and gas meter work.

It depends on the build era. The oldest houses often have galvanized steel, homes from roughly 1978 to 1995 may have polybutylene, and some from roughly 1995 to 2007 have Kitec, whose brass fittings tend to restrict flow before they leak. Copper appears throughout and PEX in newer building. A technician confirms the material on site before pricing a repipe.

They do, but the issues are different. Centennial Hills was built from the 1990s through the 2010s, so there is no galvanized or cast iron. Problems there tend to be builder-grade fixtures, valves and water heaters wearing out, plus scale from valley water at about 280 parts per million, roughly 16 grains per gallon.

About 43.4 percent of homes in the city are rented. In most cases the tenant should contact the landlord or property manager, who authorizes the repair. Active Plumbing can work with owners and managers directly and confirms who is approving the work on the first call.
