Sewage & Waste Services in Las Vegas, NV

Yes, new or replacement interceptors are permitted through the building department for your address: the City of Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas, Boulder City, or Clark County for unincorporated areas. Routine pumping does not need a building permit, but it does need to meet your sewer authority's maintenance rules.

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.

The sewer authority for your address: the Clark County Water Reclamation District for unincorporated areas, or the City of Las Vegas or City of Henderson for addresses on their systems. Requirements can differ, so check with yours or ask us to confirm it for your location.

It depends on the trap's size, your kitchen's volume, and what your sewer authority requires, not on one fixed calendar for every kitchen. We note how full the trap is at each visit and set an interval that keeps it within capacity, then adjust as we learn how it fills.

Grease carries past the trap into the lateral, cools and hardens, and narrows the pipe until drains back up into floor sinks and floor drains. At that point the line needs jetting as well as the trap needing pumping, and a backup during service can close the kitchen.

Yes. If grease has already carried past the trap, pumping alone will not clear the pipe. Hydro-jetting restores the line, and a camera inspection shows whether there is damage or a belly holding grease.

Scrape plates into the trash before washing, use sink strainers, and never pour oil or grease down a drain, even with hot water behind it, because it sets further down the line. Collect fryer oil separately for recycling. These habits help the trap stay within capacity between pump-outs.

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.

Active Plumbing is open 24/7 and technicians arrive in 30 to 60 minutes anywhere in the valley, including every part of the City of Las Vegas.

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.
