Plumbing for Craig Ranch homes, duplexes and rentals built in the 1970s to early 1990s polybutylene window
Customer financing available. Ask us about options.
Craig Ranch is central North Las Vegas tract housing around Craig Road and Craig Ranch Regional Park, built mostly from the 1970s to the early 1990s on slab foundations. That window overlaps the polybutylene era, so supply pipe is the first thing we check.
Craig Ranch covers the family tract streets of central North Las Vegas around Craig Road and Craig Ranch Regional Park, the 170-acre city park built on the old Craig Ranch Golf Course. Most of the housing went up from the 1970s through the early 1990s on slab-on-grade foundations, with detached houses mixed in among duplexes and small multi-unit rentals. Polybutylene was installed from 1978 to 1995, so many homes here may have gray or black supply pipe with gray or white acetal fittings and crimp rings, and a blue service line coming in from the meter. The material breaks down from the inside as it reacts with chlorine in the public water, so leaks show up without warning and tend to come back after a repair. We always confirm the pipe on site rather than assuming from the build year.
Local Knowledge
Homes from the 1978 to 1995 window may still have gray polybutylene with acetal fittings. Chlorine in the water degrades the pipe from inside until fittings crack, and because every run aged together, one leak often leads to the next.
Duplexes and fourplexes often share a drain lateral or water heater. One failure affects two or more households, so a camera inspection and a planned replacement beat repeated emergency calls.
Hard valley water builds scale inside older tanks. A failed expansion tank can make the relief valve drip, which is often mistaken for a bad valve.
A pressure regulator that has crept high adds strain to an already weakened polybutylene system. We test incoming pressure on every Craig Ranch call.
Short, heavy late-summer storms can overwhelm yard and floor drains on properties where the laterals have not been cleaned in years.

What we offer in Craig Ranch
When a tank water heater starts leaking from the body, delivers rusty water or simply cannot keep up, replacement is usually the sensible fix. Active Plumbing installs gas and electric tank water heaters sized to your household's busiest hour, with the venting, drain pan and expansion tank the job calls for. You get a written price before work starts, and the old unit leaves with us.
Learn more →A tankless water heater heats water as it flows through, so there is no stored tank to run out or leak. Getting one right in the Las Vegas Valley comes down to three things: sizing the unit to your fixtures, making sure the gas line and venting can support it, and planning for hard water scale. Active Plumbing checks all three before giving you a written price.
Learn more →When a water heater runs cold, leaks or flashes an error code, the cause is usually one part rather than the whole unit. Active Plumbing diagnoses gas and electric tanks and tankless units, explains what failed and whether repair makes sense, and gives you a written price before any work starts. Trucks carry common repair parts, so many repairs finish in one visit.
Learn more →A tankless water heater pushes water through a narrow heat exchanger, and valley water leaves scale behind every time it heats. Over time that scale restricts flow, triggers error codes and makes the unit work harder. Active Plumbing flushes the heat exchanger, cleans the inlet screen and checks the burner and venting so the unit keeps delivering steady hot water.
Learn more →In a long single-story house, the hot water sitting in the pipe cools between uses, so every shower at the far end starts with cold water going down the drain. A recirculation pump keeps warm water moving toward those fixtures so it arrives sooner. Active Plumbing installs return-loop and crossover valve systems and sets them up with a control that matches how you actually use hot water.
Learn more →Restaurants, salons, gyms, offices and apartment buildings each use hot water differently, so the right system starts with your actual demand. We size the equipment to your peak use, check gas supply, venting and electrical, and plan the changeover around your operating hours. You get a written price before work starts and we handle the permit.
Learn more →We check the existing tank, venting, gas or electrical supply, relief line and incoming water pressure.
We recommend a tank size and fuel type based on your peak demand, then give you a written price before work starts.
We remove the old tank, set the new one, and connect water, gas or power, venting, relief line, pan and expansion tank as required.
We leak test, fire the unit and confirm hot water, coordinate any inspection, and take the old heater with us.

Local Tips
If a leak shows up at a gray plastic fitting, ask for a written repipe scope as well as the repair price so you can compare the two.
Landlords with several Craig Ranch houses can plan repipes in phases across the portfolio rather than waiting for each one to fail.
Have shared drain lines on duplexes cleaned before the late-summer monsoon storms arrive.

Real reviews from Craig Ranch and nearby North Las Vegas neighborhoods.
The 40-gallon tank started weeping at the anode port. Same-day swap, seismic straps, and the old unit hauled off the pad. That call was from Lake Las Vegas. Hot water was back before the kids got home from school.

The ice machine at a clinic break room was on a garden-hose tap. A dedicated filtered line with a shutoff and a drain to an indirect receptor. That call was from The Section 10. Facilities passed the next infection-control walk.

The washer box sat too high and the standpipe siphoned. They dropped the box, reset the trap, and vented the arm. That call was from Sovana. Suds stay in the machine.

Craig Ranch is inside the City of North Las Vegas, which runs its own building department. Permits, plan check and inspections go through City of North Las Vegas Building and Safety, under the Southern Nevada Amendments to the Uniform Plumbing Code as the city has adopted them. We confirm the permit position for your address before permitted work begins.
A whole-house repipe typically runs $4,000 to $15,000 across the Las Vegas Valley. That is a market range, not a quote. Your price depends on the size and layout of the house and the access, and we give it to you in writing before any work starts. Customer financing is available.
Active Plumbing is open 24/7 and technicians typically arrive in 30 to 60 minutes anywhere in the valley, including Craig Ranch. Trucks carry common repair parts, so many jobs are finished in one visit.
Look under sinks, behind toilets, at the washer hookups, at the water heater connections and where pipe comes out of the slab. Polybutylene is usually gray, sometimes black, with gray or white plastic fittings held by aluminum or copper crimp rings. The underground line from the meter is often blue. We confirm on site, since build year alone does not settle it.
No. The Cox v. Shell Oil class action settled in November 1995 and its claim windows closed years ago, and a later case filed in 2017 was dismissed with prejudice in 2018. Owners carry the cost today, which is why planning a repipe before a failure usually makes more sense than paying for water damage after one.
Under Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 118A, landlords must keep working plumbing and hot water in a rental, so the owner or property manager normally authorizes and pays for the repair. Tell us who is approving the work when you call so the visit is not wasted, and we will coordinate access with the tenant.
