The Cliffs is the Summerlin village built closest to the Red Rock escarpment, in the 89135 ZIP code at the far western edge of the plan. The homes are newer and larger, and they sit on lots that slope steeply toward the valley, at elevations higher than almost anywhere else in Summerlin. See all our plumbing services in Red Rock & The Ridges.
Elevation and slope shape everything here. Incoming pressure is regulated harder than in the flat villages below, hot water has to reach fixtures across multiple levels of a home built into a hillside, and drainage from a steep lot has real consequences for the foundation below it.
Kingdom Plumbing works The Cliffs with the gradient, the slope, and the scale of these homes built into every plan.
Steep Lots, High Regulation, and Multi-Level Homes
Regulation is the first item. At the top of the Summerlin gradient, the regulator does more work than anywhere else in the plan, and its setting has to be right for the specific lot. A regulator that drifts or fails here exposes a large, expensively fitted home to pressure it was never designed for.
Multi-level hot water is the second. Homes built into a hillside often have living space on several levels, and hot water reaching the lowest or highest fixture depends on a properly balanced recirculation system. When one level waits far longer than another, the loop is the cause.
Slope drainage is the third. Steep lots send surface and irrigation water downhill fast, and grading that has settled can direct it at the foundation of the home below. Water intrusion here is diagnosed outside first.
Where We Work in The Cliffs
The Cliffs sits at the far western edge of Summerlin in the 89135 ZIP code, directly against the Red Rock escarpment, above the villages on the valley floor.
The homes are newer and larger, the lots are steep, and we plan for both the access and the finished surfaces such homes carry.
We also serve the newer villages to the north and the rural communities on the far side of the escarpment.

The Cliffs Plumbing Terms, Defined
- Top-of-gradient regulation
- The pressure regulation required at the highest point of a water network's elevation range. In The Cliffs the regulator does more work than anywhere else in Summerlin and must be set for the specific lot.
- Hillside multi-level loop
- A recirculation system serving living space on several levels of a home built into a slope. When it is unbalanced, one level waits far longer for hot water than another.
- Downhill runoff
- Surface and irrigation water moving fast off a steep lot toward the property below. Settled grading can direct it at a foundation, which is why water intrusion is checked outside first.
