What New Las Vegas Residents Need to Know About Plumbing

Posted on June 3, 2022 by oozle

Moving to a new home and location can be both exciting and scary! Every home, depending on the state, has its differences and specific needs. As a new resident of Las Vegas, you probably have no idea what to expect when maintaining and taking care of your new home’s plumbing system. As the local professionals at ProServ, we know exactly what you need to feel confident in knowing your home is running exactly how it is supposed to. If you didn’t already know, be ready to experience the sweltering desert heat! We know what it’s like to live in Vegas, and as our new neighbors, we are here to give you the proper welcome and guidance you need to feel comfortable in your new home!

Hot Weather Can Influence Your Plumbing!

Located in the middle of the desert, it’s no surprise that Las Vegas can get really hot! With summer approaching and as a new resident, it’s important to know what the weather is like and how it can greatly impact your plumbing system. That way, you know what to look for when there is a problem and when to call in an expert to take care of the issue before it breaks the bank. Here are a few common issues to look for this summer:

• Leaks: To prevent any leaks from happening in your outdoor water systems, (swimming pools, sprinklers, hoses, etc.) we recommend being careful how much water you use on those hotter summer days. 
• Clogged drains and toilets: There is nothing more frustrating than a clogged drain or toilet. To keep your garbage disposal and drain in tip-top condition and long-lasting, only put liquid down the drain. Avoid food and throw it away in the trash instead. Also be sure to be mindful of how much toilet paper you or your family use, especially during the summer.
• Pipes expanding: If your pipes expand too much, then they can burst. Keeping your sinks or showers slightly running overnight during the winters or barely running during the summers is the best way to prevent pipe damage and future replacements.

If you find yourself experiencing any of these issues, do all you can to prevent them now. If the issues worsen no matter what you do, then it’s time to call in the professionals for any plumbing repairs, replacement, or maintenance!    

Best Options and Replacements for Las Vegas Plumbing

As your home begins to age from actively using your plumbing each day, replacements will eventually be necessary. Our team of plumbers can provide you with the best replacements for your home!  Here are a few pipe replacements  we recommend for Las Vegas residents:

Copper Pipes 

This piping option is about to be your home’s best friend, especially during those Las Vegas summers! Known for their durability and long-lasting strength, copper pipes are a great option for resisting that intense desert heat, compared to other piping materials. As a new homeowner in Las Vegas, You are bound to experience the sweltering heat. This coinage metal does well in underground environments and is bound to resist the stresses of heat. 

Polypropylene Pipe

We get it! Buying a new home can be a huge investment. If you are not too concerned with durability, as you are with pricing, we highly recommend polypropylene pipe. You can expect high-heat resistance and feel confident in knowing this option of piping is designed to provide a safer non-toxic transfer of water.

Cross-Linked Polyethylene (PEX) 

As an easy installation process among local plumbers or homeowners who are confident in taking on a DIY project, it is durable, lasts a long time, and made to prevent chemicals from entering into your appliances or water systems. PEX adapts well to hot or cold temperatures. Even though Las Vegas is part of a desert, it can still get very cold during the winters, so this is something to consider when discussing the best pipe options with your local plumber. 

Keep Your Water Fresh! 

The quality and purification of your water depends on where you live in Las Vegas. Specific pipes can impact your water’s quality. Some water in the valley carries harmful additives such as chemicals, debris, or pollutants! This could cause future health problems for you and your family, if the issue isn’t quickly addressed. We highly recommend installing a water filtration system right away. Not only does this offer pure, safe, and clean water, but it tastes better and provides a variety of health benefits.
