Section 10 takes its name from its legal survey section and sits on the west side of the valley, roughly between Desert Inn Road, Sahara Avenue, Rainbow Boulevard and Buffalo Drive, close to The Lakes. It is one of the few parts of the valley made up only of custom homes on lots of half an acre or more, some well over an acre, with no mandatory HOA except in a few gated cul-de-sacs and horse-friendly zoning in pockets. Because every home was built individually across many decades, Active Plumbing crews find everything from galvanized supply in the oldest houses to polybutylene, Kitec, copper and modern PEX, often mixed together after renovations.
The Southern Nevada Water Authority rates the valley's water very hard, at about 280 parts per million or 16 grains per gallon, and large custom homes feel it in multiple water heaters, recirculation lines and high-end cartridges. On big lots the plumbing extends to pools, guest houses, workshops, barns and long yard and irrigation lines, where a leak can run for weeks before it shows. Gas to pool heaters, outdoor kitchens and fire features must be sized to the whole load. With no association on most lots, every line on the parcel is the owner's responsibility. Spring Valley is unincorporated Clark County, so permits run through the Clark County Department of Building and Fire Prevention, but addresses near Sahara Avenue can sit close to the City of Las Vegas line, so the parcel record is the reliable check, and sewer in unincorporated areas is handled by the Clark County Water Reclamation District.
Active Plumbing serves Section 10 residents alongside neighbors in The Lakes and West Sahara. The team understands custom construction of every era and prices and plans accordingly. For any plumbing concern in the neighborhood, call Active Plumbing at (702) 438-3357.
Local Expertise
Section 10 homes were built one at a time across many decades, so the supply pipe depends on the house: galvanized in the oldest, polybutylene in homes from about 1978 to 1995, Kitec from about 1995 to 2007, and copper or PEX otherwise. Older houses often mix several materials, with corrosion where dissimilar metals meet.
The Southern Nevada Water Authority rates the valley's water very hard, at about 280 parts per million. Large custom homes often run more than one water heater and recirculation systems, all scaling at once, and scale also fouls cartridges and outdoor fixtures. Whole-house treatment protects a large, expensive system.
On lots of half an acre or more, plumbing runs to pools, spas, guest houses, workshops, barns and long irrigation systems. A leak in a buried yard line can run unnoticed and show up first as a higher water bill, which makes outdoor leak detection a genuine service here.
Water heaters in Section 10 homes fail early in very hard water if they are never flushed, and larger homes often have more than one. 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.
Pools, outdoor kitchens, fire features and generators all add gas demand on large lots. The line must be sized to the whole load of every gas appliance, not just the new one, or appliances underperform. Older gas piping in the oldest homes warrants inspection rather than assumption.
What we offer in The Section 10
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.

Expert Advice
Watch your water bill. On a half-acre or larger lot, a leak in a yard line, irrigation run or line to a guest house or barn can run for weeks before it shows, and an unexplained jump in usage is the first sign.
Test every shut-off valve under sinks and at toilets twice a year by turning them fully off and back on. In The Section 10's older homes, valves that sit unused for years will seize, leaving you unable to stop water flow quickly during a plumbing emergency.
If you are adding a pool heater, outdoor kitchen, fire feature or generator, have the gas line sized to the whole load of every gas appliance on the property, not just the new one.

Real reviews from The Section 10 and nearby Spring Valley neighborhoods.
A cracked yard hydrant was wasting water at the dog run. Frost-free hydrant on a new lateral with a drain gravel pit. We were in Scotch Eighty, Las Vegas. The run is dry except when we choose to water.

The upstairs shower went scalding when a toilet filled. A pressure-balance cartridge and new stops behind the trim. That call was from Westleigh. Kids can shower while someone flushes now.

The HOA fountain chlorinator back-fed into a drinking hose bib. A reduced-pressure backflow and a labeled dedicated fountain line. That call was from Summerlin West. Kids can drink from the bib again.

Pricing in Section 10 varies by job type and by property, since every home is custom. Drain clearing often runs $150-$300, while repiping a large custom home can reach $4,000-$8,000 or more depending on size, layout and materials. Yard, pool and guest house lines are priced separately. Active Plumbing provides written estimates before any work begins.
Active Plumbing regularly serves Section 10 and the surrounding west valley, including The Lakes, West Sahara and the rest of Spring Valley. Whether you need Drain & Sewer Services, Water Heater Services, a yard line repair or a full repipe, our crews are used to large custom lots. Call (702) 438-3357 to confirm scheduling for your address.
For urgent situations in Section 10, Active Plumbing offers Emergency Plumbing response, often same-day or within hours. On a large lot, a yard line or main leak can run a long way before it shows, so shut off the main and call. Call (702) 438-3357 to reach a dispatcher who can route the nearest available technician to your address quickly.
Section 10 is named after its legal survey section and runs roughly between Desert Inn Road, Sahara Avenue, Rainbow Boulevard and Buffalo Drive. It is made up only of custom homes on half-acre or larger lots, mostly with no HOA, and some pockets allow horses. Because no two homes are alike and they were built across many decades, the pipe material depends on the individual house, and the plumbing extends well beyond it: long yard lines, pools, guest houses, barns and outdoor gas.
It depends on when your home was built and what has been changed since. The oldest custom homes can have galvanized steel supply, homes from about 1978 to 1995 may have polybutylene, and homes from about 1995 to 2007 may have Kitec. Older houses have often been altered more than once, so a plumber should identify every material in the house and check pressure before recommending spot repairs or a planned repipe.
Summer heat above 110°F is hardest on water heaters, expansion tanks, pool equipment and irrigation. Winter cold snaps can freeze exposed yard lines and outdoor fittings. The Southern Nevada Water Authority rates the valley's water very hard, at about 280 parts per million or 16 grains per gallon, so scale builds all year in heaters, cartridges and any animal water systems. A spring check of water heaters, pressure and yard lines before the heat arrives is worthwhile.
Yes. Active Plumbing holds Nevada State Contractors Board license #0047021 and carries general liability insurance. You can verify any Nevada contractor's license at nvcontractorsboard.com before signing a contract. Spring Valley is unincorporated Clark County, so permits run through the Clark County Department of Building and Fire Prevention, but addresses near Sahara Avenue can sit close to the City of Las Vegas line, so the parcel record is the reliable check, and gas work to pool heaters or outdoor kitchens must be sized to the whole load.
Expect a walkthrough of the system before any work is quoted, because every Section 10 property is different. That includes identifying the pipe materials, checking incoming pressure and the main shut-off, and asking about yard lines, pools, guest houses or animal water points. Active Plumbing uses the same process across the west valley, with written findings and a clear estimate.
