Licensed Plumber in Las Vegas, Nevada

A slow sink is an annoyance, but several slow drains at once usually means the main line is involved. Active Plumbing clears kitchen sinks, bathroom sinks, tubs, showers, toilets, floor drains and laundry lines with cable machines or hydro-jetting, and uses a camera where the cause needs confirming. You get a written price before any work starts.

Repeat clogs, slow drains throughout the house and sewer odors all have a cause you can see on camera. We run a waterproof HD camera through your sewer line from a cleanout, record the full run and walk you through the footage. You get a clear picture of roots, bellies, offset joints, cracks or scale before anyone digs or quotes a repair.

When a cable machine only punches a hole through a blockage, hydro-jetting cleans the whole pipe wall. Active Plumbing pairs high-pressure water jetting with mechanical root cutting to clear sewer and drain lines across the Las Vegas Valley. Where the line is older or has a history, a camera look comes first so the method suits the pipe.

Roots, offset joints, bellies, corrosion and collapse all end the same way - a main line that stops carrying waste away from the house. We repair or replace damaged sewer lines with spot repairs, trenchless lining, pipe bursting or open-cut replacement. The camera decides which method fits, and you see the evidence before you choose.

Sewer lines in the valley fail for specific reasons: older cast iron corroding from the inside, roots finding joints, and lines pulled out of grade when poorly compacted backfill settles or expansive clay moves, leaving bellies where waste collects. We start with a sewer camera inspection so the repair is based on what is actually in the pipe.

Digging matters here because caliche, a cemented calcium-carbonate hardpan, makes excavation slower and more costly and can abrade buried pipe. Typical valley ranges are $1,500 to $5,000 for sewer line repair and $4,000 to $12,000 for full sewer line replacement, and you get the written price before work begins. Permits go through the building department for your address.

A sewer cleanout is the doorway into your main line. With one in the right place, a plumber can run a camera, cable or hydro-jet without pulling a toilet or going through a roof vent. Active Plumbing installs and replaces cleanouts across the Las Vegas Valley and gives you a written price before work starts.

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.

We install and replace tank water heaters, tankless water heaters and commercial units across Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas and the surrounding communities. Typical valley ranges are $800 to $1,500 for a tank water heater installation and $1,500 to $3,500 for a tankless installation, with a pre-filter adding $150 to $300 where hard water calls for one. Your written price comes before work starts.

Installs follow the local plumbing code, which in Southern Nevada means the Uniform Plumbing Code with the Southern Nevada Amendments. That covers details like a drain pan where a leak would cause damage, a proper relief valve drain, and gas connections coordinated with Southwest Gas service. We pull the permit through the building department for your address when one is required.

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.

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.

Heat pump water heaters pull heat from the surrounding air, so they combine a storage tank with a compressor, fan and condensate drain. Repair calls usually trace back to scale on the tank and elements from the valley's hard water, a clogged air filter, a blocked condensate line, or a failed sensor or control board. Typical water heater repair in the valley runs $150 to $500. You get the written price before work begins.

Because these units run on electricity, a jump in your NV Energy bill can be a sign of trouble. If you are weighing repair against replacement, note that the federal Section 25C tax credit ended for equipment placed in service after December 31, 2025. Utilities and manufacturers have offered rebates, so check the current program before you decide.

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.

Maintenance in this valley starts with the water. The Southern Nevada Water Authority puts hardness at about 280 parts per million, roughly 16 grains per gallon, which is very hard. That scale settles in tank water heaters, narrows supply lines over the years, and clogs aerators, shower heads and the small passages inside faucet cartridges and mixing valves.

The tasks that pay off here are practical: flushing the water heater tank, descaling tankless units, cleaning aerators and appliance inlet screens, checking the water heater relief valve, and inspecting hose bibbs and exposed outdoor lines that take years of sun and heat. A softener or scale-reduction system is worth discussing too, because in Las Vegas it extends equipment life rather than being a luxury. Call (702) 438-3357 to schedule a visit.

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.

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.

Active Plumbing serves restaurants, offices, retail, multifamily buildings and other commercial properties across the Las Vegas Valley with the same licensed, insured work we provide to homeowners. Common commercial calls include grease trap pumping, drain and sewer line cleaning, commercial water heaters, backflow assemblies and lift station service.

Commercial work runs into rules homeowners rarely see. Backflow assemblies are tested at least once a year by a certified tester under the water provider's program, grease requirements come from the sewer authority for the address, and food establishments go through Southern Nevada Health District plan review that shows supply lines, waste lines and fixtures. Large buildings also need attention to stagnant lines and water temperature, where Legionella can grow in biofilm.

Water running that you cannot stop, sewage coming up through a drain, or no water at all - these do not wait for business hours, and neither does Active Plumbing. A fourth-generation family business serving the valley since 1991, we answer around the clock and send a licensed technician who arrives in 30 to 60 minutes. Our trucks carry common repair parts, so many emergencies are finished in one visit.

Active Plumbing has held a Nevada plumbing contractor license since 1991 and operates under Nevada State Contractors Board license #0047021. The license, its classification and its status are public record at nvcontractorsboard.com, and we hold the certifications required for the work we perform.

More than three decades in the valley as a fourth-generation family business means we have worked on every era of local housing, from galvanized pipe in the historic core to polybutylene in 1980s tracts and PEX in newer homes. We are insured through WCF Insurance, and more than 50,000 clients have trusted us with their plumbing.

When you compare plumbing companies in Las Vegas, look past advertising to what can be checked: a license you can verify at nvcontractorsboard.com, proof of insurance, real reviews, and a clear answer about when you get a price in writing. Ask whether the company works 24/7 and how long arrival actually takes.

Active Plumbing answers those questions plainly. We are family owned since 1991, licensed under #0047021, insured, and rated 4.9 across more than 880 Google reviews. Technicians arrive in 30 to 60 minutes, give you a written price before work starts, and recommend repair when repair makes sense. Customer financing is available for larger jobs.

Plumbing problems do not keep business hours, so Active Plumbing is open 24/7, including nights, weekends and holidays. Technicians arrive in 30 to 60 minutes anywhere in the Las Vegas Valley, and our trucks carry common repair parts so many jobs finish in one visit.

Calls that should not wait include burst pipes, a water heater leaking from the tank, sewage backing up into drains, and signs of a slab leak such as warm spots on the floor or a water meter moving with everything turned off. While you wait, shut off the main water valve if water is spreading. For a suspected gas leak, leave the building and call Southwest Gas from outside first. Reach us at (702) 438-3357.

A burst pipe is a supply line that has split, blown a fitting or corroded through, and it keeps releasing water at full system pressure until someone shuts it off. Active Plumbing has handled these emergencies across the Las Vegas Valley since 1991. We isolate the break, show you what failed, and repair it once you have a written price.

A slab leak is a leak in a water line running beneath a home's concrete foundation. Because slab-on-grade construction is standard across the valley, this is a distinct and familiar category of work for us. We locate the leak before any concrete is touched, then explain whether a spot repair or a reroute makes more sense for your house.

Plumbing in Las Vegas is shaped by the desert. Water hardness of about 280 parts per million, roughly 16 grains per gallon, scales up heaters and fixtures. Most homes sit on concrete slabs, so supply line leaks under the floor are a distinct category of work. Caliche, a cemented calcium-carbonate hardpan, makes digging slower and more costly and can abrade buried pipe.

Weather adds its own pressures. Summer heat stresses garage and outdoor equipment, sun breaks down exposed lines and irrigation backflow assemblies, winter nights can still freeze poorly insulated pipes, and monsoon storms can back up floor and yard drains. The rules vary by address too, because the cities and unincorporated Clark County each adopt the code and issue permits on their own.

Electronic leak detection answers one question before any wall, floor or yard is opened: exactly where is the water going? Active Plumbing uses acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging and electromagnetic line tracing to find hidden leaks across the Las Vegas Valley. You get the location, the likely cause and your repair options in plain terms.

Most water damage gets serious because nobody is home when a pipe or supply line fails. A whole-home leak detection system closes the main for you and sends an alert to your phone. Active Plumbing installs devices such as Flo by Moen and Phyn on the main line and sets them up for how your household actually uses water.

A gas leak is the one plumbing problem where your first call is not to a plumber. Get everyone out, call Southwest Gas from outside, and once the area is safe, Active Plumbing tracks down the leak and repairs it. Technicians arrive in 30 to 60 minutes anywhere in the valley, 24/7.

A new gas appliance is only as good as the line feeding it. Active Plumbing installs gas piping across the Las Vegas Valley, from a single connection for a range or dryer to a new main line run, sized to the load and inspected through the building department for your address. You get a written price before work starts.

Active Plumbing is a plumbing-only company, and on the heating side that means water heating. We repair and install tank, tankless, heat pump and commercial water heaters, add recirculation pumps for hot water at the tap sooner, and handle the gas lines that feed water heaters and other gas appliances. We do not service furnaces or air conditioning.

Hard water is the main enemy of water heating equipment here, so descaling tankless units and flushing tanks are part of keeping hot water reliable. For gas appliances, line installation, rerouting and upsizing are coordinated with Southwest Gas. If you ever smell gas, leave the building, avoid switches and flames, and call Southwest Gas from outside before calling a plumber.

Gas lines rarely end up where a remodel needs them, and older piping was often sized for fewer appliances than a home runs today. Active Plumbing moves existing gas lines and replaces undersized sections across the Las Vegas Valley, with the whole system recalculated, permitted and pressure tested. You get a written price before work starts.

Most gas problems build slowly, at a connector, a valve or a joint nobody has looked at in years. A gas safety inspection from Active Plumbing checks the system from the meter outlet to each appliance and gives you a clear, written list of what we found. If something needs repair, you get a written price before any work starts.

An outdoor kitchen or fire feature is only as good as the gas line feeding it. Active Plumbing plans, sizes and installs exterior gas piping across the Las Vegas Valley, pulls the permit through the building department for your address and pressure tests every run. You get a written price before work starts.

When the supply pipe in a home is failing everywhere at once, spot repairs only buy time. Active Plumbing replaces the water lines in Las Vegas Valley homes from the main shutoff to every fixture, using PEX or copper installed to the local code. We confirm what pipe you have on site, handle the permit, and give you a written price before work starts.

Active Plumbing offers customer financing for repairs and replacements that do not fit neatly into one month's budget, such as a new water heater, a sewer line replacement, a slab leak repair or a whole-house repipe. Financing lets you deal with the problem now instead of waiting while a leak or a failing heater does more damage.

Ask about financing when you call (702) 438-3357 or when your technician is on site. You will receive a written price before any work starts, so you know the amount you are financing, and you can review the financing terms before you agree to anything.

Start with the license. Plumbing contractors in Nevada are licensed by the Nevada State Contractors Board, and you can look up any license number at nvcontractorsboard.com to see its classification, status and bond. Work that needs a permit has to be done by a properly licensed contractor, so this check matters in a market with a real unlicensed trade problem.

Next, ask how pricing works and when you will see it in writing, whether the company is insured, and what warranties cover parts and labor. Local knowledge counts as well: a good plumber should know the valley's hard water, the pipe materials typical of your home's build era, and which building department covers your address. Active Plumbing holds license #0047021 and is rated 4.9 across more than 880 Google reviews.

Fixtures are the parts of your plumbing you use every day, and in the valley's very hard water they wear out sooner than people expect. Active Plumbing repairs and replaces faucets, toilets, shower valves, sinks, garbage disposals and appliance connections, and our trucks carry common repair parts so many jobs finish in one visit. You get a written price before work starts.

A remodel is the one time the walls and floor are open, so it is the right time to get the plumbing behind them right. Active Plumbing plans and installs new drain, vent and supply lines, works through rough-in inspection with the building department for your address, and sets the finished fixtures. You get a written price before work starts.

Our installation work ranges from a single faucet or toilet to whole-house repipes, remodel plumbing and new construction and ADU rough-ins. Typical valley ranges are $150 to $400 for fixture installation, $800 to $3,500 for bathroom and kitchen remodel plumbing, and $4,000 to $15,000 for a whole-house repipe. You get the written price before work begins.

New fixtures must meet the Southern Nevada Amendments to the Uniform Plumbing Code, including WaterSense certification and flow limits such as 1.28 gallons per flush for toilets and 2.0 gallons per minute for showerheads. Larger installations are permitted through the building department for your address, and we confirm the existing pipe on site before tying new work into it.

A backflow assembly keeps water from your irrigation system or building from flowing back into the public supply. In the Las Vegas Valley these assemblies must be tested by a certified tester at installation, after repair or relocation, and at least once a year. Active Plumbing handles the test, the repair and the replacement, with a written price before work starts.

A new building or accessory unit gets its plumbing in stages, and each stage has to land at the right point in the schedule. Active Plumbing handles the underground, the rough-in and the trim for new homes, casitas and ADUs across the Las Vegas Valley. You get a written price before work starts, and we work alongside your builder or general contractor.

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.

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.

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.

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.

When sewage comes up inside a building, the water is contaminated and anything porous it soaks into usually has to go. We extract the sewage, remove what cannot be saved, disinfect and dry the area, then clear the blockage so it does not happen again. Technicians arrive in 30 to 60 minutes anywhere in the 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
