The Trails stands as one of Summerlin's original villages, the master plan's third, begun in 1993 when the community was still taking shape in the northwest valley. Single-family homes here run roughly 1,400 to 2,800 square feet, alongside gated enclaves like Mountain Trails, all built on concrete slab foundations. Active Plumbing crews working in The Trails consistently encounter the same hallmarks of early Summerlin construction: original copper supply lines now reaching pinhole-leak age, polybutylene in some of the earliest homes and Kitec in some later ones, and water heaters on their second or third unit.
The Southern Nevada Water Authority rates the valley's water very hard, at about 280 parts per million or 16 grains per gallon, and that scale shows in fouled cartridges, blocked aerators and water heaters that failed early. Water Heater Services calls in The Trails are frequent, along with expansion tank and pressure regulator replacements. Drain & Sewer Services are equally common, as decades of mature landscaping send roots into older laterals. Emergency Plumbing in The Trails often involves pinhole leaks in older copper lines, including slab leaks that call for detection and an honest choice between repair and reroute. Summerlin spans the City of Las Vegas and unincorporated Clark County, so permits depend on the address.
Active Plumbing has worked throughout The Trails and across nearby Summerlin villages like The Hills, building familiarity with the specific materials and permit requirements that apply to these original-era homes. Whether it's a scheduled repipe, a failing water heater, or an urgent leak, residents can reach the team directly at (702) 438-3357 for service from plumbers who know what's inside these walls.
Local Expertise
The original copper plumbing installed in The Trails homes through the 1990s is now reaching the age where pinhole leaks begin, particularly on hot water lines and under-slab runs. A house that has had one pinhole leak will usually have more, so a planned partial or full repipe is often better value than repeated patches.
The earliest Trails homes, built before about 1995, may contain polybutylene, gray plastic pipe that turns brittle as it reacts with the chlorine in treated water. Homes built from about 1995 on may contain Kitec, whose brass fittings restrict flow before they leak. Claim deadlines for both have passed, and a planned repipe is the honest fix.
Original water heaters are long gone in most Trails homes, and replacements fail early in very hard water if never flushed. Expansion tanks fail silently and show up as a dripping relief valve, and pressure regulators creep high or drop, so all three are worth checking together.
The Trails homes are slab-on-grade, so a supply leak under the floor is not accessible. Warm spots on floors, the sound of running water with fixtures off, or a jump in the water bill are the usual signs. After leak detection, the choice is between opening the slab and rerouting the line, and rerouting is often less disruptive in a finished home.
Original plumbing fixtures from the initial Summerlin construction are failing after 25-30 years, with cartridges seizing due to hard water mineral deposits. The builder-grade fixtures used in this era are now obsolete, often requiring complete fixture replacement rather than simple repairs.
What we offer in The Trails
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.

Expert Advice
If your home in The Trails has had one pinhole leak in its copper supply lines, plan for more. A warm spot on a floor or an unexplained jump in your water bill can mean a slab leak, and a plumber can help you weigh a spot repair against a partial or full repipe.
Flush your water heater regularly and have the expansion tank and incoming pressure checked at the same visit. A dripping relief valve is often a failed expansion tank rather than a bad valve, and replacing the valve alone is a common misdiagnosis.
If your drains keep slowing down, ask for a camera inspection of your sewer lateral rather than repeated cabling. Decades of mature landscaping in The Trails mean roots can find their way into older laterals.

Real reviews from The Trails and nearby Summerlin neighborhoods.
A copper sweat joint above the pantry failed after a nearby remodel. They cut back, used a press fitting, and supported the run. We were in Cottonwood Terrace, Summerlin. The pantry ceiling is the only patch we painted.

The house lost water whenever the irrigation clock ran. A dedicated irrigation tap upstream of the PRV with its own shutoff. That call was from Belvedere. Showers no longer starve when the lawn drinks.

A sewage backup hit a sunken living room after a root ball. Cleanup, ozone, and a jet plus a written root-cut interval. We were in Belvedere, Summerlin. The carpet pad is new and the line is on a calendar.

Yelp review, September 2025
Repiping a slab home in The Trails typically runs $4,000-$9,000 depending on size, layout and access points. Original copper here is reaching the age where pinhole leaks begin, and a house that has had one pinhole leak will usually have more, which often makes a planned repipe smarter than repeated patching. Active Plumbing provides written estimates so you get an accurate number before any work starts.
Active Plumbing works throughout The Trails and across nearby Summerlin villages like The Hills, as well as Mountain Trails and the other neighborhoods inside The Trails. We know The Trails well - it was Summerlin's third village, begun in 1993, with slab construction from the 1990s. Whether you need a water heater swap or Drain & Sewer Services, we're familiar with the layout of homes here. Call (702) 438-3357 to confirm scheduling in your area.
For Emergency Plumbing calls in The Trails, Active Plumbing aims to arrive the same day-often within hours. Aging supply lines and older slab homes in this Summerlin village can fail without warning, so fast response matters. For non-urgent work, appointments are typically available within a few business days. Call (702) 438-3357 any time for urgent situations.
The Trails is original Summerlin, the master plan's third village, begun in 1993, with homes built through the 1990s on concrete slabs. Original copper supply lines are now reaching pinhole-leak age, homes built before about 1995 may have polybutylene, and homes from about 1995 on may have Kitec. Water heaters, expansion tanks and pressure regulators are typically on their second or third generation. Newer Summerlin villages rarely see this combination of aging issues all at once.
Yes, it is worth acting on. Polybutylene was used in homes built up to about 1995, which includes the earliest homes in The Trails. It turns brittle as it reacts with the chlorine in treated water and can fail without warning, and the class action claim windows closed years ago. Because the whole system ages together, a planned repipe in PEX or copper is the honest recommendation rather than waiting for a burst. Active Plumbing can inspect your system and recommend the right repipe material for your home's layout.
Yes. The Southern Nevada Water Authority rates the valley's water very hard, at about 280 parts per million or 16 grains per gallon, and The Trails homes have faced it for about 30 years. Scale reduces water pressure, fouls cartridges so showers run hot and cold, clogs fixtures, and shortens water heater life significantly. If you are on your second or third water heater, that pattern is the scale at work. Active Plumbing offers Water Treatment solutions that protect your plumbing going forward, and Water Heater Services to address units already damaged by mineral buildup.
Active Plumbing holds Nevada State Contractors Board license #0047021 and carries liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage, and you can verify it at nvcontractorsboard.com. Summerlin spans both the City of Las Vegas and unincorporated Clark County, and the line does not follow village names, so the building department for permitted work depends on your specific address. You can request license and insurance documentation before scheduling. Licensed plumbers matter especially in older slab homes where improper work can cause hidden long-term damage.
A technician will assess your specific issue-whether that's slow drains, failing fixtures, or aging supply lines common to 1990s Summerlin construction. Expect a clear explanation of findings, options at different price points, and honest timelines. For larger jobs like repipes or Drain & Sewer Services on older slab homes, Active Plumbing will walk you through the process before work begins.
