Las Vegas Valley homes were built in waves, and the drain lines underneath them reflect it. Older houses in the historic core often have cast iron drains that corrode and scale from the inside, while newer tracts run plastic lines that can sag where poorly compacted backfill settled or expansive clay moved them out of grade. Very hard water, about 280 parts per million or roughly 16 grains per gallon, adds mineral scale that gives grease and debris something to cling to. Active Plumbing has worked on these systems since 1991 as a fourth-generation family business.
Our Drain Cleaning service clears kitchen, bathroom, laundry and main line clogs, and Hydro-Jetting & Rooter Service scours scale, grease and roots from the pipe walls when cabling alone will not hold. A Sewer Camera Inspection shows the condition of the line on video, so you can see a belly, crack, offset joint or root intrusion before deciding on a repair. When a line is damaged, Sewer Line Repair & Replacement covers spot repairs through full replacement, and Cleanout Installation adds an accessible access point so future clogs can be reached without pulling a toilet or digging.
You get a written price before work starts, and our trucks carry common repair parts, so many drain jobs finish in one visit. Excavation through caliche, the cemented hardpan found across much of the valley, is slower and costs more than digging in soft ground, and we explain that plainly when a dig is needed. Work that needs a permit is filed with the building department for your address.
For a slow drain, a gurgling toilet or a sewer backup, call Active Plumbing at (702) 438-3357. We answer 24/7.
