Plumbers in Las Vegas, NV
Las Vegas draws about 90 percent of its water from Lake Mead, and it is among the hardest municipal water in the country. Most of the valley's homes were built after 1980 on concrete slabs, so the plumbing is young by national standards but works under harsh conditions.

Homes and plumbing in Las Vegas
Water heaters usually sit in the garage, and supply lines run under the slab or through the attic. Homes built between about 1995 and 2007 may have Kitec plumbing, a plastic-aluminum pipe with brass fittings that corroded in local water and was the subject of a class action settlement.
Extreme hard water
Scale builds quickly in tank and tankless heaters, cartridges and shower valves. Softeners and yearly flushing are standard practice in the valley.
Slab leaks
Copper and plastic lines under slabs fail from heat, soil chemistry and abrasion. Rerouting through the attic is the usual repair.
Kitec and early fittings
Homes with Kitec or failing brass fittings see repeated leaks at the connections. Repiping removes the problem instead of chasing each leak.
