What plumbing problems are common in Centennial Hills homes?
In Painted Desert and Los Prados, most homes are now more than 30 years old. Original water heaters, valves and fixtures are past their service life, and homes of that era sometimes still have polybutylene supply lines. In the compact single-story Los Prados homes, the kitchen, baths and laundry sit close together, so one failed line can reach several rooms.
In Lone Mountain, many 1990s and 2000s homes are already on their second water heater. Providence homes from the mid-2000s are mostly two-story, which puts bathrooms over living space: an upstairs leak can mean opening a ceiling below. Builder-grade shutoff valves in both neighborhoods are often upgraded during a repair so the same part does not fail again.
Skye Canyon homes are new, but new is not protected. Las Vegas water runs about 16 grains per gallon, per the Las Vegas Valley Water District, and scale starts building in a new water heater the first year. On the Tule Springs ranch parcels, the long buried service line from the meter, sometimes galvanized or poly pipe, is the usual suspect when the water bill climbs.
