First steps

What To Do First

Three steps for any plumbing problem.

  1. Stop The Water

    Turn off the valve under the fixture, or your home's main water shut-off if water is spreading. Switch off power at the breaker only if you can reach it safely.

  2. Find A Licensed Plumber

    Search the Nevada State Contractors Board list (opens the Nevada State Contractors Board site) for Clark County and the C01 Plumbing and Heating classification.

  3. Check Before You Hire

    Confirm the license is active, ask for a written estimate, and pay the plumber directly for their work.

Context

Why Las Vegas Plumbing
Is Different

Extreme Hard Water

Vegas water runs 15-24 GPG (Very High). This mineral buildup destroys standard water heaters in 6-8 years instead of 12.

Slab Foundations

Most Vegas homes are built on concrete slabs. When pipes under the slab leak, they require specialized detection equipment to locate.

Thermal Expansion

115°F summers cause pipes to expand and contract aggressively, leading to joint failures and sudden bursts.

Water Hardness by Area (GPG)

Summerlin / West Valley 15-18
Central Las Vegas 16-22
North Las Vegas 16-20
Henderson / Green Valley 20-24
National Average 3-7
