Commercial plumbing for Brewery Row, the City of Las Vegas craft beer area along Main Street in the 18b Arts District. Active Plumbing handles drains, grease interceptors, backflow and tenant improvements, 24/7.
Brewery Row is a City of Las Vegas designation for the cluster of breweries, brew pubs and craft beer bars along Main Street in the 18b Arts District, in ZIP codes 89101 and 89104 and entirely within city limits. The City announced the concept in April 2021, and in May 2023 the City Council approved a temporary waiver of certain liquor license charges for businesses in the area. The program was written around reusing buildings that already stand, and that is the plumbing challenge here: a shell built for warehouse or light industrial use has drainage laid out for that use, not for a brewhouse, a dish pit or a commercial kitchen.
Pipe and fixture services in Brewery Row cover remodel plumbing for tenant improvements, backflow prevention on process water systems, and new construction or ADU plumbing tied into existing downtown infrastructure. What makes this work distinct is that every venue here operates inside a repurposed building whose original drainage was never designed for a commercial kitchen or a brewhouse, permits run through City of Las Vegas Building and Safety, and the Southern Nevada Health District requires plan approval before construction begins on any food or drink establishment.
Bathroom and kitchen remodel plumbing in a Brewery Row venue cannot begin until the Southern Nevada Health District reviews and approves plans showing supply lines, waste lines and fixtures. NRS 446.930 requires that approval before construction starts, and late fees apply if work begins first. The SNHD remodel application also asks whether a grease interceptor is present, so the plumbing layout and interceptor sizing must be resolved at the design stage, not after rough-in is underway.
The Southern Nevada Amendments require pot sinks, scullery sinks, dishwashing sinks and commercial dishwashing machines to connect indirectly to the drainage system through an air gap, with an adjacent floor drain. Installing or replacing any of these fixtures in an existing Brewery Row building means confirming that the floor drain is present, properly trapped and primed, and that the air gap arrangement fits the available floor space before a fixture is ordered or set.
Wherever carbonation equipment, clean-in-place chemical circuits or process water connections exist in a brewery, a tested backflow prevention assembly is required on the potable supply. The Las Vegas Valley Water District administers the local program, requires assemblies on commercial buildings, and requires testing by a certified backflow assembly tester at installation and at least annually thereafter. Which assembly type is required and whether the existing installation meets current LVVWD requirements must be confirmed with the District before scheduling a test.
Adding a casita or a new structure to a Brewery Row lot means tying into an existing sewer lateral and water service in a district where underground work runs through caliche hardpan. Caliche is hard to trench and hard to bed pipe into evenly, and poorly compacted backfill settles under the pipe over time. The underground phase must be completed and inspected before the slab is poured, so sequencing with the general contractor and City of Las Vegas Building and Safety inspection scheduling is part of the planning process.

Local Knowledge
Section 801.3.4 of the Southern Nevada Amendments requires floor sink flood level rims to be installed flush with the finished floor, sealed with no gaps, and accessible for cleaning. In a Brewery Row building where the slab was poured for warehouse or light industrial use, adding a floor sink means saw cutting, excavating to establish proper slope, and patching, all inside an operating venue. The existing slab condition and drain routing must be confirmed before a fixture layout is finalized.
Brewery Row sits inside City of Las Vegas limits, but which sewer authority governs a specific address must be confirmed before a process waste line or grease interceptor is designed. The City of Las Vegas Environmental Compliance and Enforcement at 702-229-6594 handles wastewater discharge inquiries for City-served addresses. Assuming the wrong authority and designing to its rules can require rework after the correct pretreatment requirements are established.
At about 280 parts per million, the valley's water deposits calcium and magnesium scale on every hot surface. In a taproom or brewhouse, that means scale accumulating in booster heater elements and in dishwasher spray arms and jets. A booster heater working against scale buildup runs harder and fails earlier than its rated life. Descaling and regular maintenance are not optional in this environment, and fixture installation should account for access to these components.
Any new construction or ADU plumbing that requires trenching for a sewer lateral or water service in this district runs through caliche hardpan. Caliche is hard to trench and hard to bed pipe into evenly. If backfill is not properly compacted after the trench is closed, the fill settles under the pipe over time and pulls it out of grade. That creates bellies where solids accumulate, which is a particular problem in a line carrying brewhouse waste.
A building on Brewery Row that includes both a commercial brewing or kitchen operation and an attached or upper-floor residential unit carries two distinct supply systems with different code requirements. A repipe scoped only for the residential portion may leave commercial supply lines untouched, while a commercial tenant improvement permit does not automatically cover the residential side. The scope must be defined clearly before work starts so the correct permits are pulled for each portion.
What we offer in Brewery Row
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
Before finalizing a fixture layout for a remodel, confirm that every pot sink, scullery sink and commercial dishwasher has an adjacent floor drain in place. The Southern Nevada Amendments require an air gap and an adjacent floor drain for each of these connections, and adding a drain to an existing slab adds cost and time.
Contact City of Las Vegas Environmental Compliance and Enforcement at 702-229-6594 before designing any process waste line for a brewery. Whether a discharge permit, pH control or sampling is required is a determination the sewer authority makes, and designing to an assumed threshold can require rework after the fact.
Schedule any saw-cutting, drain work or interceptor service outside trading hours. A blocked lateral in a brewhouse backs up through the lowest floor drains first, and a venue cannot trade until the line is cleared. Building that buffer into the maintenance schedule avoids unplanned closures.
When a backflow assembly is repaired or relocated, the Southern Nevada Amendments require it to be retested by a certified backflow assembly tester before returning to service. Confirm with the Las Vegas Valley Water District at 702-258-3156 that the assembly type and installation meet current LVVWD requirements at the same time.

Real reviews from Brewery Row and nearby Las Vegas 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.

Matt came by to assess whether an access panel could be cut into a jetted tub as recommended by a home warranty companys plumber. Matt took a look at the situation and recommended putting in Delta cartridges and doing a good clean. I about fell out over the cost of cartridge replacement; however the faucet hasnt leaked since. Thank you, Matt!!

Brewery Row is entirely inside the City of Las Vegas, so commercial plumbing, tenant improvements and changes of occupancy are permitted by City of Las Vegas Building and Safety at 495 S. Main St. The City only issues commercial building permits to Nevada licensed contractors. Active Plumbing holds Nevada State Contractors Board license #0047021.
Grease trap pumping typically runs $150 to $400 across the Las Vegas Valley, and the final figure depends on interceptor size and access. These are typical valley ranges, not a quote. You get a written price before any work starts.
Active Plumbing is open 24/7, and technicians arrive in 30 to 60 minutes anywhere in the valley, including the Arts District. When a lateral blocks, waste backs up through the lowest fixtures first, usually the kitchen and brewhouse floor drains, so call (702) 438-3357 as soon as you see it.
Yes. Under NRS 446.930, plans for building or remodeling a food and drink establishment go to the Southern Nevada Health District for review before work begins. The remodel application asks for supply lines, waste lines, fixtures and whether a grease interceptor is present, and late fees apply if construction starts first.
The City of Las Vegas Food Service Establishment Guideline sets a 500 gallon minimum, citing the City amendments to the 2018 UPC. The City has since adopted the 2024 UPC, so the sizing rule for a current project should be confirmed with Building and Safety before design.
Wherever a cross connection exists, yes. Carbonation equipment, clean in place chemical circuits and process water connections can all put a non-potable substance in contact with the supply. The Las Vegas Valley Water District decides whether a property needs an assembly, and it must be tested by a certified tester at installation and at least annually.
The SNHD remodel application requires plans showing plumbing supply lines, waste lines and all fixtures, and asks whether a grease interceptor is present. The establishment must be fully functional with water, power, gas and hot water before the final inspection, and Building and Safety approval is required before the SNHD final. Submit through the EH Portal at FoodRev@snhd.org or call 702-759-1258. Starting construction before approval triggers late fees.
The City of Las Vegas Food Service Establishment Guideline set a 500-gallon minimum citing the City amendments to the 2018 UPC. The City has since adopted the 2024 UPC, effective January 5, 2026, so the governing sizing rule for a current project must be confirmed with City of Las Vegas Building and Safety at 702-229-6011 before the interceptor is sized or ordered.
Whether a brewery discharging process waste needs a discharge permit, pH control, flow monitoring or sampling is a determination the sewer authority makes under its pretreatment program. Brewery Row is inside City of Las Vegas limits, so direct that question to City of Las Vegas Environmental Compliance and Enforcement at 702-229-6594 before designing the process waste line. Do not assume a threshold from the mailing address or from another venue's permit status.
