On the ground
What is different in Paradise
Paradise sits in Clark County, and your plumbing permit goes through Clark County Building and Fire Prevention, which is set by your address rather than the city on your mail. Your water is billed by Las Vegas Valley Water District.
Permits are pulled through Clark County Building and Fire Prevention rather than a city department. That matters more than it sounds, because a mailing address that reads Las Vegas does not mean the City of Las Vegas issues the permit. We confirm the jurisdiction against the parcel before scheduling anything that needs an inspection, which on a water heater or a repipe is most of it.
Water here comes from the Las Vegas Valley Water District, which publishes valley supply at roughly 291 parts per million, about 17 grains per gallon. That is officially very hard, around two and a half times the national norm, and it is the single number that explains most of what fails in a home in this valley: scale on the floor of a water heater, cartridges that stiffen and drip, dishwashers and ice makers that die before their rated life.
Paradise is the unincorporated township that takes in the Strip corridor, so the building mix runs from single-family homes to dense multi-unit and commercial. The plumbing question is usually which of those you are actually in, because a fourplex and a house are different jobs with different shutoffs.
Our Paradise 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.
