Pool Plumbing Repair in Las Vegas

Las Vegas has one of the highest backyard-pool densities in the country, and a pool losing more water than evaporation explains is often a plumbing leak rather than the shell. We work on the pool's plumbing: the lines to and from the equipment pad, the valves and the auto-fill, not the pool surface or the sweep.

What is included

The work itself

Pool line leak repair

Locating and repairing leaks in the suction and return lines between the pool and the equipment pad.

Equipment-pad plumbing

Repairing and replumbing the valves, unions and pipework around the pump and filter.

Auto-fill line repair

Fixing the automatic fill line and valve that quietly runs or fails to keep the level up.

Worth knowing

Before you book

Losing more than evaporation

Some summer loss is evaporation. Losing water fast, or faster with the pump on, points at the plumbing.

The equipment pad

Sun-baked PVC and old valves at the pad crack and weep, and that is the easiest part of the system to reach and repair.

What we do not do

We handle the plumbing. Resurfacing, tile and pumps are pool-builder work, and we say so rather than guess.

Questions

Pool 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.
