Plumbing FAQs

Locate your main water shutoff valve and turn off the water supply immediately. The shutoff is typically near the water meter or where the main line enters the home. Once the water is off, call Las Vegas Pro Plumbing at (888) 308-3262. Do not attempt to repair a burst pipe yourself. If there is structural damage, electrical exposure, or flooding you cannot control, contact emergency services first.

A leaking water heater can become an emergency depending on the severity. A small drip from a pressure relief valve may be manageable temporarily, but active flooding, a cracked tank, or a gas smell near the water heater requires immediate action. Turn off the water supply to the unit and call (888) 308-3262. If you smell gas, leave the building and call your gas utility provider before calling a plumber.

Most toilets have a shutoff valve on the wall behind the base. Sinks typically have shutoff valves under the cabinet. Turn the valve clockwise to close it. If there is no fixture shutoff or it will not turn, use the main water shutoff for the home. Call (888) 308-3262 if you need help locating the shutoff or if the valve appears corroded or broken.

Call a licensed plumber for anything involving the main water line, sewer line, water heater, gas connections, slab leaks, or persistent clogs that return after clearing. DIY repairs on these systems can void warranties, violate local codes, or cause additional damage. Minor issues like a dripping faucet or slow drain may be manageable depending on your experience, but when in doubt, call (888) 308-3262 and we can help you assess the situation.

The cost depends on the cause of the leak. A worn flapper or fill valve is typically a straightforward repair. A leaking wax ring or cracked tank requires more labor and parts.

For most homes, professional drain cleaning every one to two years helps prevent buildup and slow drains before they become full clogs. Homes with older pipes, heavy use, or recurring drain issues may benefit from more frequent service. Restaurants and commercial kitchens typically require more frequent grease trap and drain maintenance.

In Clark County, extended cold snaps can affect exposed pipes in garages, crawl spaces, and exterior walls. Insulating exposed pipes, keeping cabinet doors open under sinks during cold nights, and maintaining indoor heat above 55°F reduces freeze risk. If you suspect a frozen pipe, do not use an open flame to thaw it. Call (888) 308-3262 for safe thawing assistance.

Common signs of a slab leak include an unexplained spike in your water bill, warm or damp spots on floors, the sound of running water when all fixtures are off, or cracks appearing in flooring or walls. Slab leaks require professional detection equipment. Call Las Vegas Pro Plumbing at (888) 308-3262 if you notice these symptoms.

Check under sinks for moisture or corrosion every few months. Test shutoff valves annually to confirm they turn freely. Flush your water heater tank periodically to reduce sediment buildup. Monitor your water bill for unexplained increases. Schedule a professional inspection if your home has older pipes or you have not had a plumbing check in several years. Call (888) 308-3262 to discuss a maintenance plan for your home.

Tank water heaters typically last 8 to 12 years with proper maintenance. Tankless water heaters can last 15 to 20 years. Hard water conditions in Clark County can shorten lifespan by accelerating sediment buildup. Annual flushing and anode rod inspection help extend the life of your unit. If your water heater is over 10 years old and showing signs of rust or inconsistent heating, call (888) 308-3262 to discuss replacement options.

The right water heater depends on your household size, hot water demand, available fuel source, and budget. Tank water heaters are less expensive upfront and widely compatible. Tankless models provide on-demand hot water and are more energy-efficient over time but cost more to install. In Clark County, hard water can affect both types differently. Call (888) 308-3262 to discuss which option fits your home and usage.
