Outdoor Plumbing Repair in Las Vegas

A soft or green spot in a Las Vegas yard, or a jump in the water bill with nothing dripping indoors, is often a leak on the service line between the meter and the house. Add the hose bibs that crack in the heat and the outdoor-kitchen supply lines, and most of what goes wrong outside is traceable and repairable.

What is included

The work itself

Hose bib repair and replacement

Fixing and replacing outdoor faucets that drip, seize or split, and adding a frost-safe bib where it helps.

Service-line leak repair

Tracing and repairing a leak between the water meter and the house, the kind that shows as a soft spot and a rising bill.

Outdoor kitchen and yard supply

Repairing supply lines to outdoor kitchens, sinks and yard fixtures.

Worth knowing

Before you book

Soft spot, rising bill

A patch that stays damp, or a bill that climbed with nothing dripping indoors, usually means the service line.

Hose bibs and the heat

Valley sun is as hard on outdoor faucets as any freeze. A split bib wastes water and undermines the wall it sits on.

Meter to house is yours

The utility owns the line up to the meter. From the meter to the house is the homeowner's, and that is where we work.

Questions

Outdoor Plumbing, answered

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 licence 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, licence 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.
