Schedule a plumber to visit you in Anthem

Licensed, 24/7 plumbing. A master-planned community inside Henderson, so permits and water both go through the city rather than the county. Hillside lots mean pressure can run high, which is hard on fixtures and heaters.

What is different in Anthem

Anthem sits in Clark County, and your plumbing permit goes through City of Henderson, which is set by your address rather than the city on your mail. Your water is billed by City of Henderson Utility Services.

Anthem sits inside Henderson, so permits go through the City of Henderson rather than Clark County, and the water is billed by the city as well. Being a master-planned community does not change the authority; the city line does.

Billed through City of Henderson Utility Services, on the same Colorado River supply as the rest of the valley at roughly 17 grains per gallon. Hardness is the constant; the utility is what changes at the city line.

Anthem is a master-planned community inside Henderson, built from the late 1990s onward, so the supply is copper and PEX rather than polybutylene. The failures here are wear rather than material defect.

Anthem is built on hillside lots, and that is the detail that matters. Elevation change means static pressure can run high at the lower end of a run, and high pressure is hard on everything that has to hold it: cartridges, supply lines, the relief valve on a water heater. A gauge reading is the cheapest diagnostic there is and it is the first thing we do here.

Our Anthem visits start with a free inspection and a flat-rate price agreed before any work begins.

The same crew covers every part of the valley: who we are and how we work does not change with the postcode, and neither does the guarantee on every call.

Questions

Common questions

How hard is the water in Las Vegas?

Las Vegas Valley Water District publishes valley tap water at roughly 291 parts per million, about 17 grains per gallon, and classifies it as very hard, around two and a half times the national norm. The minerals come from the Colorado River through Lake Mead. It is the single biggest reason water heaters, fixture cartridges and dishwashers wear out faster here than their rated life suggests.

Do I need a permit to replace a water heater in Las Vegas?

Yes. Clark County, the City of Las Vegas and the City of North Las Vegas all require a permit for a replacement as much as for a new installation. Which of the three you deal with depends on your address rather than your mailing city, because a Las Vegas postal address can sit in unincorporated Clark County. We pull the permit and meet the inspector as part of the job.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. Monkey Wrench Contractors LLC holds Nevada State Contractors Board license 0092999 and trades as Monkey Wrench Plumbing. We are a BBB accredited business with an A plus rating, and every technician is background checked. About thirty minutes before your appointment you get a text with the assigned technician's photo, name, license number and live ETA.

Do you charge for an estimate?

No. The inspection is free and you get a flat-rate price before any work begins, so the number you approve is the number you pay. If the scope changes once something is opened up, we stop and re-quote rather than adding to the invoice at the end.

Are you actually available 24 hours a day?

Yes, dispatch runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on (702) 900-5992. If water is actively running and you cannot stop it, shut off your main first and call second, because that one step is the difference between a wet floor and a flooded one.

Is there help with the cost of finding a leak?

There can be. The Southern Nevada Water Authority runs a Leak Detection Assistance Program that gives qualifying single-family customers a voucher worth up to $250 toward leak diagnosis or the first hours of repair. You apply as the account holder before work begins and use a participating plumber, and it is one voucher per property per calendar year.
