Polybutylene or Kitec? We identify what is behind the walls of your Green Valley home

Plumbing for Green Valley, Henderson's original master-planned community since 1978. Polybutylene and Kitec identification, cast iron drain camera work, repipes and water heaters from a licensed family business.
Green Valley was the first master-planned community in the Las Vegas Valley, started by American Nevada Company in 1978 across about 7,100 acres of Henderson along Green Valley Parkway. Its long build span is what makes plumbing here unusual: the earliest phases fall inside the polybutylene window, which ran to 1995, and later phases fall inside the 1995 to 2007 Kitec window. Polybutylene is usually gray pipe with gray acetal fittings and metal crimp rings, and it turns brittle from the inside and fails without warning. Kitec is orange and blue composite pipe with brass fittings that lose zinc, restrict flow and then leak. Both claim settlements have closed, so owners carry the cost. We confirm which material your house has on site, and where either is found a scheduled repipe through our Pipe & Fixture Services, with water back on at the end of each working day, beats patching one leak after another.
Local Knowledge
Early-phase homes may have gray polybutylene that turns brittle and fails without warning, with repeat failures after a spot repair.
Homes built from 1995 onward may have Kitec, where brass fittings lose zinc, restrict flow and leak. Weak flow at a fixture is an early sign.
Original cast iron in the oldest phases scales, cracks and separates at joints, showing up first as slow drains that keep returning.
More than forty years of mature trees and landscaping can push roots into older sewer laterals.
Very hard water scales tank heaters, and worn pressure regulators can creep high and strain an already weakened supply system.

What we offer in Green Valley
A softener is the only common home treatment that actually removes calcium and magnesium from your water. Active Plumbing sizes the unit to your household and hardness, installs it with a bypass, brine tank and properly discharged drain line, and sets the regeneration schedule before we leave. You get a written price before work starts.
Learn more →Whole-house filtration treats water where it enters the home, so showers, laundry and every faucet get filtered water. In the valley that usually means a sediment stage and an activated carbon stage to remove chlorine taste and odor. Active Plumbing designs the system around your water and flow, and gives a written price before work starts.
Learn more →Las Vegas Valley water is safe and treated, but it is very hard, and that shows up in taste, cloudy ice and scaled kettles. A reverse osmosis system at the kitchen sink removes most of the dissolved minerals from the water you drink and cook with. Active Plumbing installs the unit, the faucet, the drain connection and any ice maker line, and gives you a written price before work starts.
Learn more →Testing at the tap tells you two things the utility's own reports cannot: what your home's pipes add to the water, and how hard your water actually is at your address. Active Plumbing collects the sample following lab protocol, sends it to a certified laboratory and walks you through the report. If treatment would help, we tell you which kind, and if it would not, we say so.
Learn more →A salt-free conditioner does not remove the calcium and magnesium in valley water. It changes how those minerals behave so less of them sticks to pipes, heater tanks and fixtures as scale. Active Plumbing explains plainly what a conditioner will and will not do before you decide, and gives a written price before work starts.
Learn more →The water leaving the treatment plant is not always the water that reaches your glass. Lead and copper usually come from the plumbing inside a home - solder, brass fittings and corroding pipe - so the only meaningful test is one taken at your tap. Active Plumbing collects samples properly, has them analyzed by a certified laboratory and explains what the numbers mean for your plumbing.
Learn more →PFAS are measured in parts per trillion, so a reliable result depends on careful collection and a certified laboratory. Active Plumbing takes PFAS samples at your tap or well using the lab's containers and handling protocol, then walks you through each compound in the report. If treatment makes sense, we explain your options before anything is installed.
Learn more →Call (702) 438-3357. We confirm household size, hardness and whether there is a softener loop or the supply needs rerouting.
We recommend a unit capacity matched to your use and give a written price before work starts.
We tie in the softener with a bypass valve, set the brine tank and run the drain line to an air gap.
We program regeneration, check that treated water is soft, explain salt top-ups, and follow up after the job.

Local Tips
Planning to sell in Green Valley? Find out your supply pipe material before listing, since the buyer's inspector will likely find it anyway.
If you have polybutylene or Kitec, have incoming pressure checked and keep it in a normal range to reduce strain on the system until it is replaced.
For a slow drain that keeps coming back in an older phase, ask for a camera inspection before paying for repeated cabling.

Real reviews from Green Valley and nearby Henderson neighborhoods.
Spots on the glass and stiff laundry made us test the tap. They logged hardness, TDS, and chlorine and put numbers on paper. We were in Green Valley South, Henderson. We bought treatment based on lab results, not a booth flyer.

We wanted drinking water that was not bottled by the case. Under-sink RO with an air-gap faucet and a remineralizer cartridge. That call was from Green Valley South. The pitcher went into the recycle bin that week.

Yelp review, May 2025
An older supply run still had suspect solder near the kitchen. Lead and copper samples went to the lab with a chain-of-custody form. We were in MacDonald Ranch, Henderson. We got a letter we can show a buyer instead of a rumor.

Yelp review, December 2025
Green Valley is inside the City of Henderson, not Clark County or the City of Las Vegas. Permits, plan check and inspections go through the City of Henderson Development Services Center under the Southern Nevada Amendments to the Uniform Plumbing Code as Henderson has adopted them. We confirm the permit position for your address before work starts.
A typical Las Vegas Valley range for drain cleaning is $150 to $350. That is a market range, not a quote. For recurring clogs in older cast iron lines we often suggest a camera inspection first, and we give you a written price before any work starts.
We are open 24/7 and arrive in 30 to 60 minutes anywhere in the valley, including every part of Green Valley from Sunset Road down to the 215. Trucks carry common repair parts, so many jobs finish in one visit.
It depends on when your phase was built. Early Green Valley homes fall in the polybutylene window that ended in 1995, and later homes fall in the 1995 to 2007 Kitec window. Polybutylene is usually gray with gray acetal fittings and crimp rings. Kitec is orange for hot and blue for cold with brass fittings. We confirm it on site under sinks, at the water heater and where pipe leaves the slab.
The polybutylene settlement from the Cox v. Shell Oil case and the Kitec settlement deadlines, the last on January 9 2020, have passed, so owners now pay for replacement themselves. If you believe your situation is unusual, an attorney is the right person to ask. Our job is to tell you what you have and what a repipe involves.
The oldest phases have cast iron drain lines that scale inside, crack and separate at joints, and decades of mature landscaping can send roots into laterals. Repeated cabling only buys time. A camera inspection shows the actual condition so you can decide between repair and replacement.
