Sewer line repair and replacement in Las Vegas. Spot repair, trenchless (CIPP lining, pipe bursting), full replace, reroute. Caliche soil complicates excavation.
Financing available - same-day approval
Sewer line repair and replacement covers fixing or replacing damaged sections of your main sewer. Options include spot repair, trenchless CIPP lining, pipe bursting, full excavation and replacement, and rerouting. In Las Vegas, caliche soil makes trenchless options attractive. We recommend the best method after a camera inspection.
Las Vegas sewer lines face unique punishment. The caliche-heavy soil found beneath neighborhoods like Green Valley and Sovana creates shifting pressure that cracks clay and cast-iron pipes, while the hard mineral-laden water accelerates joint corrosion. Older homes near State Streets corridors often have original clay lines from the 1960s and 70s-well past their service life.
Active Plumbing uses RIDGID SeeSnake camera systems to inspect your line before recommending a fix, whether that's a targeted spot repair, CIPP (cured-in-place pipe) lining, pipe bursting with HDPE pipe, or full open-cut replacement meeting current Clark County and Nevada NDEP trench-and-backfill codes. We work throughout Henderson and North Las Vegas, handling everything from root intrusion and belly sags to full collapses. If slow drains flagged the problem first, ask about our Drain Cleaning service to clear the line before inspection.
Hard water mineral buildup can worsen pipe deterioration over time-our Water Softener Installation service addresses that at the source. All sewer work falls under our broader Drain & Sewer Services and connects with Emergency Plumbing when backups can't wait. Call Active Plumbing at (702) 438-3357 to schedule a camera inspection and get a straight answer on repair vs. replacement.

After a camera or backup, call Active Plumbing at (702) 438-3357. We repair or replace damaged sewer lines with trenchless options when possible, serving Las Vegas and the Valley.
When trenchless methods are not a practical option, Active Plumbing performs open-cut excavation to access and replace damaged sewer lines. Full excavation remains the right call for collapsed sections, severely misaligned pipe, or situations where the ground conditions make lining or pipe bursting impractical.
Las Vegas caliche soil adds a layer of complexity to any excavation project. Caliche is a hardened calcium carbonate layer common beneath Valley neighborhoods, and breaking through it requires equipment specifically suited to desert ground conditions. Active Plumbing uses techniques matched to caliche to complete excavation efficiently and safely while meeting Clark County and Nevada trench-and-backfill codes.
After the pipe work is complete, the excavated area is backfilled and the surface is restored. A post-repair camera verification confirms the line is flowing correctly before the job is closed out. Call (702) 438-3357 to discuss whether excavation or a trenchless approach is the better fit for your property.
North Las Vegas homeowners dealing with a failing sewer line face a specific set of conditions that shape how replacement work gets planned and executed. Many neighborhoods in North Las Vegas developed during periods when clay and Orangeburg pipe were standard materials, and those lines are now aging out in soil that shifts and compacts differently than other parts of the Valley.
Active Plumbing serves North Las Vegas with the same range of replacement methods available elsewhere in the region, but the approach on any given property depends heavily on lot layout, proximity to the municipal connection point, and whether existing pipe routing allows for a straight pull or requires a reroute. Factors like yard obstructions, concrete flatwork, and depth to the existing line all influence which replacement path makes the most sense before a trench is ever opened or a liner is installed.
Call Active Plumbing at (702) 438-3357 to schedule a camera inspection for your North Las Vegas property and get a method recommendation based on actual site conditions.
In North Las Vegas, the path from a failing sewer line to a completed replacement often comes down to how a property connects to the municipal system and what sits between the house and that connection point.
Wider lot depths common in parts of North Las Vegas can mean longer line runs, which affect both material quantities and the time required to complete the job regardless of method. Properties with mature landscaping, detached garages, or concrete driveways along the sewer path add complexity that gets worked out during the planning stage, not after work begins.
Active Plumbing accounts for these layout variables when recommending a replacement path for North Las Vegas properties. The goal is matching the method to what is actually on the ground, so there are no surprises once work starts. Call (702) 438-3357 to schedule an on-site assessment.
Real reviews from customers we've served for Sewer Line Repair & Replacement.
A bathroom group shared a 2-inch that sagged behind the tub. They sistered a new arm with proper pitch from an access panel. We were in West Sahara, Spring Valley. The tub no longer holds last night's soap.

An outdoor shower at the casita had no tempering and scalded guests. A listed mixing valve and a freeze-resistant shutoff at the wall. We were in Chinatown Area, Spring Valley. Guests can use it without a warning sign.

A slab-on-grade ranch had a mystery hiss under the dining room. Thermal camera plus a listening disc marked one tile only. We were in Artesian Heights, Las Vegas. Dinner was back at that table the next night.
