On the ground
What is different in North Las Vegas
North Las Vegas sits in Clark County, and your plumbing permit goes through City of North Las Vegas, which is set by your address rather than the city on your mail. Your water is billed by City of North Las Vegas Utilities.
North Las Vegas is its own incorporated city with its own building department, so permits go through North Las Vegas rather than Clark County. A water heater replacement is permitted here as much as a new installation, and we pull it and meet the inspector as part of the job rather than leaving it with you.
North Las Vegas bills its own water through City of North Las Vegas Utilities rather than the Valley Water District. The supply is the same Colorado River water the rest of the valley drinks, at roughly 17 grains per gallon, so the scale problem is identical even though the bill arrives from a different place.
North Las Vegas covers a wide span of building. There is older stock around the original townsite and a great deal of 2000s construction further north, so the plumbing depends heavily on which half of the city an address sits in. The older end is where galvanized supply and cast iron drains still turn up; the newer end is PEX and copper, where the calls are fixtures, heaters and hard-water damage rather than repipes.
Summer here runs past 110 degrees for weeks, which is hard on anything holding pressure outdoors: hose bibs, irrigation manifolds and the exposed runs on the side of a house. Winter nights drop low enough that an unprotected exterior line is worth a thought in December.
Our North Las Vegas 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.
What we get called for
The usual jobs in North Las Vegas
The split shows up in the work. North of the 215 it is mostly heaters, fixtures and softeners. Closer to the old townsite it is repipes, drain lines and the kind of leak that has been weeping behind a wall for a while.

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.
