Northwest Las Vegas plumbing
Centennial Hills was developed primarily between 2003 and 2012, making it one of the newer master-planned areas in the Las Vegas Valley. But newer does not mean problem-free — homes built on concrete slabs with copper supply lines are now 12–20 years old, which is exactly when Las Vegas hard water and soil conditions start to cause issues inside those pipes.
Slab leaks are a concern we take seriously in this part of the valley. A pinhole in a copper line under the slab can go undetected for months, quietly soaking the subfloor and foundation before showing up as a warm spot or a water bill spike. We diagnose before recommending any repair — and we explain what we find before anything opens up.
Leak detection
Most homes in Centennial Hills and Skye Canyon are slab-built — the plumbing supply lines run through or under the concrete foundation. Over time, hard water minerals corrode the interior of copper pipes, and that corrosion eventually creates a pinhole. The leak is small, but it does not stop.
Warning signs include a warm or damp spot on the floor, water near a baseboard with no obvious source, the sound of running water when everything is turned off, or a water meter that keeps moving after you shut off all valves inside. We check these symptoms before recommending any repair path, and we explain the options clearly — whether that means a targeted repair or a reroute above the slab.
Water heaters
Centennial Hills homes built in the mid-2000s are on their second decade of use. Water heaters that were installed when those homes were built are now at or past the end of their expected life. Hard water accelerates that timeline — sediment inside the tank reduces heating efficiency and puts stress on the bottom of the tank long before the unit shows obvious signs of failure.
We replace tank and tankless water heaters, correct any safety or code items in the existing installation, haul away the old unit, and confirm hot water flow before leaving. We quote the full job before starting.
PRVs, drains, and repairs
High water pressure is a common issue in the northwest valley. When the PRV starts to fail, pressure climbs inside the home and puts stress on everything connected to the water supply — water heaters, toilets, faucets, washing machine hoses, and supply lines. We test pressure on arrival and replace the PRV when it is the cause.
We also clear kitchen and bathroom drain clogs, snake main sewer lines, offer hydro jetting for recurring grease or root issues, and repair toilets, faucets, disposals, angle stops, and shower cartridges throughout the Centennial Hills and Skye Canyon area.

Questions
Most Centennial Hills homes are built on concrete slabs with copper supply lines running underneath. As those pipes age — typically 12–20 years — Las Vegas hard water, soil movement, and pressure fluctuations can cause pinhole leaks in the copper. You may notice warm spots on the floor, moisture near baseboards, a water bill that spiked without explanation, or the sound of running water when everything is off. These are all signs worth checking.

An unexplained water bill spike is one of the most common signs of a slab leak or a hidden supply line leak. First check if any toilets are running continuously — a toilet that won't stop filling can waste thousands of gallons a month. If toilets are fine, a plumber can perform a pressure test to determine whether there is an active leak in the supply line. Don't wait on this — water damage from a slow slab leak can be extensive.
Las Vegas has some of the hardest water in the country. Mineral deposits build up inside water heater tanks, reducing efficiency and lifespan. Scale also accumulates on faucet aerators, showerheads, and inside copper pipes over time. Homes in Centennial Hills built in the 2000s are at the age where these effects become noticeable — water heaters underperform, PRVs wear out, and pipe walls thin from mineral corrosion.
