Plumbers in Enterprise, NV

Enterprise covers the southwest valley and has been one of the fastest growing parts of Clark County, which gives it an unusually young housing stock compared with the older townships.

Young housing changes the work. There is far less failing pipe here and far more equipment protection, sizing and upgrade work.

What is different about plumbing in Enterprise

New homes, new priorities

With modern PEX or copper supply on slab and modern drains, the calls here concentrate on water heaters, softener installation and sizing, tankless conversions, filtration and fixture upgrades rather than on repiping or failing cast iron.

Builder softeners and loops

A lot of newer valley homes were plumbed with a softener loop in the garage but no unit fitted, or fitted with an entry-level unit sized for average water rather than 16 grain water. Both are worth looking at properly rather than assuming the house came sorted.

Hard water in Enterprise

Every home in the valley receives the same very hard municipal supply, so the scale problems are the same in Enterprise as everywhere else in Clark County.

• Las Vegas tap water is published at 280 parts per million as calcium carbonate, which works out to about 16 grains per gallon. (Las Vegas Valley Water District, Water Quality Summary)
• Sixteen grains per gallon is the figure to dial into a water softener for most of the valley. (Las Vegas Valley Water District, Water Quality Summary)

That is why water softener installation, repair, replacement and maintenance are among the most requested services here, on all makes and models.
