Plumbing for The Trails, Summerlin's fourth village - Kitec checks, water heaters and sewer laterals in 30-year-old homes
Customer financing available. Ask us about options.
Plumbing for The Trails in Summerlin North, the village begun in 1993 with detached and attached homes. Active Plumbing checks for Kitec, replaces aging water heaters and clears root-damaged sewer laterals under City of Las Vegas permits.
The Trails was the fourth Summerlin village to start, breaking ground in 1993 after The Hills, The Hills South and The Pueblo. It covers 573 acres of single-family and multi-family neighborhoods laid out around Trails Center Drive, Spring Gate Lane and Snow Trail, with The Trails Park and Pool and The Trails Community Center at its heart and Summerlin Parkway running past. That 1993 start puts much of the housing in the window when Kitec was sold, from 1995 to 2007. Kitec is aluminum pipe between PEX layers joined with high-zinc brass fittings that can dezincify, restricting flow or failing, and the product was recalled in 2005. Look for orange and blue lines or KTC and IPEX stamps at the water heater connections and the manifold. Early PEX also shows up in this period, so we confirm the material by inspection rather than guessing from the build year, and where Kitec is found our Pipe & Fixture Services can plan a repipe.
Local Knowledge
Homes plumbed between 1995 and 2007 may have Kitec, whose brass fittings can dezincify in aggressive water and restrict flow or fail. Orange and blue lines at the heater or manifold are the giveaway.
With the oldest homes now beyond thirty years, many heaters have been replaced at least once and others are overdue. Scale from very hard water shortens tank life when heaters go unflushed.
Mature trees and shrubs planted when the village was built now reach sewer laterals and irrigation mains, causing slow drains and recurring backups.
Hose bibbs and irrigation valves in full sun reach the end of their life on a thirty-year timescale, and a leaking one wastes water until it is replaced.

What we offer in The Trails
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
Look up your build year on the Clark County Assessor record, then have the pipe at your water heater connections checked to confirm whether it is Kitec, PEX or copper.
Plan exterior equipment around the association guidelines: softeners must be screened from view, and work crews may not cross common areas or go through common area walls.
If you are replacing a water heater in a spot where a leak would damage the house, expect a drain pan with a drain line to an approved location as part of the job.

Real reviews from The Trails and nearby Summerlin neighborhoods.
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.

The courtyard fire pit gas key leaked at the valve body. A listed fire-feature valve and a sediment trap in the box. That call was from Mountain Trails. The pit lights and the key no longer smells.

A bathroom fan was ducted into a wet wall and condensed into the stack. They rerouted the fan and sealed the plumbing chase. We were in Summerlin North, Summerlin. The stack is a stack again, not a dripper.

Yelp review, April 2025
The Trails is in Summerlin North, inside City of Las Vegas limits, so permits go through the City of Las Vegas Department of Building and Safety on South Main Street. The city requires a permit to install or replace a water heater or water softener and to repair or replace concealed piping, and it enforces the 2024 Uniform Plumbing Code with the Southern Nevada Amendments, effective January 5, 2026.
Across the Las Vegas Valley, a whole-house repipe typically runs $4,000 to $15,000 depending on the size of the home and how the new lines are routed. That is a typical valley range, not a quote. Active Plumbing inspects first and gives you 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 Trails. Trucks carry common repair parts, so many repairs are finished in one visit.
Kitec was sold from 1995 to 2007, which overlaps the years The Trails was built out. Check the lines at your water heater and manifold for orange and blue pipe or KTC or IPEX stamps. Early PEX from the same period can look similar, so a licensed plumber should confirm the material on site.
The Summerlin North Community Association design guidelines require mechanical equipment, including water softeners, to be screened from public view, and committee approval is required before exterior improvements. Allow time, because the request form gives the committee up to thirty business days to respond. Interior work does not go through design review.
Landscaping in The Trails has had three decades to mature, and roots can find their way into sewer laterals and irrigation lines. A camera inspection shows whether roots, a belly from settled backfill or a break is the cause before any digging is planned.
