Plumbing for The Paseos, a 2000s Summerlin village in ZIP 89138. Original water heaters, expansion tanks and pressure regulators at end of life, tankless descaling, upstairs supply failures and trail-side irrigation leaks.
The Paseos is a Summerlin village built largely through the 2000s on the western side of the community, reached from Far Hills Avenue at the western end of Summerlin Parkway. Desert Moon Road, Antelope Ridge Drive, Fox Hill Drive and Sky Vista Drive run through it past Paseos Park, Fox Hill Park and Vassiliadis Elementary, and it adjoins The Vistas and Stonebridge. Homes are slab-on-grade, mostly two-story, with copper or PEX supply, so there is no galvanized, cast iron or polybutylene here and no repipe work in the sense older parts of the valley need it. What the village does have is a whole generation of equipment reaching end of life at roughly the same time, because it was built in a compressed period.
Sewage backup cleanup, grease trap pumping, lift station service and sanitary sewer overflow response cover the core of this category in The Paseos. This Summerlin village was built largely in the 2000s, which means its slab-on-grade homes are entering the equipment replacement window at roughly the same time across the neighborhood. Sewer laterals, ejector pumps and holding tank components installed with the original build are now at or near the end of their service life, and the caliche soil beneath the village makes any excavation tied to a lateral repair or overflow cleanup slower and more involved than in softer ground.
Sewage backup cleanup in The Paseos starts with clearing the blocked line, but in a slab-on-grade home there is no crawl space to inspect. If the blockage is in the under-slab lateral rather than the building drain above it, the repair conversation shifts to detection, then a choice between breaking the slab or rerouting the line. Knowing that before cleanup begins avoids a second mobilization and lets the written price reflect the full scope.
Sanitary sewer overflow cleanup in The Paseos often ends with a lateral repair, and caliche beneath the village makes that excavation harder and slower than in softer ground. Caliche is a cemented hardpan that is difficult to trench through and difficult to bed a pipe into evenly. An honest estimate for overflow response here accounts for that excavation time rather than treating it as a standard dig.
Holding tank and lift station service calls in The Paseos frequently involve ejector pumps and float switches that were installed with the original build in the 2000s and have not been serviced since. A float switch that fails silently lets the wet well fill until it backs up through the lowest fixture. Testing the float, check valve and alarm during a routine pump-out is the practical way to catch a failure before it becomes a cleanup event.
The Paseos sits under a master association with village sub-associations and active design review. If a sanitary sewer overflow or lift station repair requires mounting equipment, a vent or a cleanout extension on an exterior wall or in a visible side yard, association approval may be required separately from any building permit. Confirming both tracks before work starts avoids being told to relocate equipment after installation.

Local Knowledge
Homes in The Paseos built in the 2000s with original kitchen drain lines are now old enough for grease accumulation to narrow the lateral bore. A slow kitchen drain that clears temporarily after hot water is run is often the first sign. If grease has carried over past the trap into the lateral, a simple pump-out is not enough and the line needs clearing before the next backup.
A floor drain backup during a monsoon storm can look like surface water intrusion, but if the building lateral is involved the contents are Category 3 sewage regardless of how they entered. Treating it as clean water and mopping up without extraction and disinfection leaves pathogens behind. In slab-on-grade homes in The Paseos, there is no crawl space to dry out, but the slab surface and any porous flooring material still require proper cleanup.
Some Paseos plans share a lateral with an adjacent unit before connecting to the public main. When a backup affects more than one unit, establishing whether the blockage is in a private branch or the shared section determines who is responsible and which authority needs to be notified. Working on the wrong section wastes time and can create a dispute between owners or with the association.
In a village built around paseos and landscaped lots, cleanout lids are sometimes buried under mulch, pavers or irrigation lines added after the original build. A blocked cleanout slows overflow response and can add time to a grease trap or lateral service call. Locating and marking cleanouts before an emergency is a practical step for any Paseos homeowner.
The Paseos sits in the City of Las Vegas, but Summerlin spans both the city and unincorporated Clark County, and contractors unfamiliar with the boundary sometimes assume the wrong permitting authority. A lateral repair that requires a permit submitted to the wrong department causes delays. Confirming the address falls under the City of Las Vegas building department before scheduling permitted sewer work avoids that problem.
What we offer in The Paseos
A grease trap only protects your drains while it has room to hold fats, oils and grease. Active Plumbing pumps and cleans grease traps and in-ground interceptors for restaurants, hotels, schools and other commercial kitchens across the Las Vegas Valley. We schedule around your service hours and give you a written price before work starts.
Learn more →When a sewer line is blocked or a pump fails, wastewater looks for the nearest opening, and outdoors that is usually a yard cleanout, a parking lot manhole or a wet well lid. We clear the blockage or isolate the line to stop the flow, keep the spill away from storm drains, then remove and disinfect what it reached. Technicians arrive in 30 to 60 minutes anywhere in the valley.
Learn more →A sewage backup in a business is a health problem, a liability problem and a closed door all at once. Active Plumbing contains the area, removes the contaminated water, cleans and disinfects, and then finds and fixes what caused it. We are open 24/7 and arrive in 30 to 60 minutes anywhere in the Las Vegas Valley.
Learn more →A sounding high-level alarm, a pump that runs without stopping or a below-grade drain that will not empty all point to a pumped sewage system in trouble. We find out whether the fault is the pump, the float, the check valve or the control panel before replacing anything. Technicians arrive in 30 to 60 minutes anywhere in the valley.

We extract the sewage, remove what cannot be saved, disinfect and dry the area, then clear the blockage so it does not happen again. Technicians arrive in 30 to 60 minutes anywhere in the valley.

The full contents are removed and walls and baffles are scraped, with connecting lines cleared where needed.

Local Tips
Locate your sewer cleanout before you need it. In The Paseos, cleanouts are sometimes covered by mulch or pavers added after the original build. Knowing where it is speeds up any overflow response or lateral service call.
If sewage backs up through a floor drain during a storm, treat it as Category 3 water and keep the space clear until extraction and disinfection are complete. The source may be the building lateral rather than surface water, and the cleanup standard is the same either way.
If a backup affects more than one unit in a clustered plan, establish whether the blockage is in a private branch or a shared lateral before work starts. The responsible party and the applicable sewer authority depend on where the blockage sits.
For any sewer or lateral repair requiring a permit in The Paseos, confirm the address is in the City of Las Vegas before submitting paperwork. Summerlin spans two jurisdictions and submitting to the wrong building department delays the job.

Real reviews from The Paseos and nearby Las Vegas neighborhoods.
Raw sewage came up in the shower after the kids flushed two toilets. They stopped the flow, sanitized, and replaced a crushed cleanout. We were in McNeil Estates, Las Vegas. The house smelled like a house again by bedtime.

The restaurant's grease interceptor was days past pump-out. They pumped, scraped baffles, and left a dated service sticker. We were in Centennial Hills, Las Vegas. The county inspector passed the trap on the next walk-through.

Yelp review, February 2026
The lift station at the loading dock high-level alarm would not clear. Floats cleaned, a backup pump staged, and a run-time log started. That call was from McNeil Estates. The dock stayed dry through the next holiday weekend.

Yelp review, December 2025
The Paseos is in the City of Las Vegas, ZIP 89138, so permitted work generally goes through the City of Las Vegas building department. Because Summerlin spans both the city and unincorporated Clark County and the boundary does not follow village names, we confirm the jurisdiction for your address before any permitted job.
Usually not. Homes here were plumbed in copper or PEX, with no galvanized, cast iron or polybutylene. The work at this age is mostly equipment - water heaters, expansion tanks, pressure regulators, recirculation pumps and original connectors - rather than the pipe itself.
Tank water heater installation typically runs $800 to $1,500 in the Las Vegas Valley, and tankless water heater installation $1,500 to $3,500. These are typical ranges, not a quote. Active Plumbing gives a written price before work starts.
Many homes in The Paseos were built with a stubbed softener loop in the garage that was never connected. It gives a straightforward place to install a softener or other treatment system, which helps water heaters and fixtures cope with water at about 280 parts per million.
It can be, as long as you plan for upkeep. In water this hard a tankless heater needs descaling on a regular interval, or performance drops. An exterior unit can also need Summerlin design review, so check with your association before mounting one on an outside wall.
Active Plumbing is open 24/7, and technicians arrive in 30 to 60 minutes anywhere in the valley, including The Paseos and western Summerlin.
A pump installed around 2000 to 2005 is at or past its typical service life. A service visit should include pumping the holding tank, testing the float switch and alarm, inspecting the check valve and assessing the pump motor. Typical Las Vegas Valley ranges are $150 to $350 for holding tank pumping and $200 to $800 or more for lift station repairs depending on which component has failed. You get a written price on site before work starts.
In The Paseos, a backup through a floor drain during or after a storm can come from a blocked building lateral, a full or slow city main, or both. Active Plumbing can camera the lateral from the cleanout to locate a blockage or belly in the private line. If the line is clear, the issue is more likely on the public side and the applicable authority for the address needs to be contacted. Jurisdiction here is the City of Las Vegas.
It can. The Paseos is governed by a master association with village sub-associations, and anything visible on the exterior, including a new cleanout riser, a vent extension or equipment placed in a side yard, may require design review approval. Association approval and a City of Las Vegas building permit are separate processes where both apply. Confirming both before work starts avoids a dispute after the job is done.
