Home » About Us
Every home's plumbing tells a different story, and Whitney Plumbing Company is set up to read all of them. Whether the issue is a slow kitchen drain, a water heater that stopped producing hot water, or a sewer line backing up into a commercial property, we handle the full range of residential and commercial plumbing work across Whitney and Clark County. That means drain cleaning, leak detection, water heater repair and replacement, sewer line service, repiping, and emergency calls for situations that cannot wait. We are open seven days a week from 7:30 AM to 9:30 PM, so you can reach us when a problem actually shows up rather than working around a narrow weekday window. Reach out and we will get it diagnosed quickly.
Calling a plumber does not have to be stressful, and the first thing we try to do is make the process straightforward. You call, describe what is happening, and we tell you what the job likely involves and what it will cost before anything is scheduled. We treat your home and its pipes the way we would our own, which means we are not looking to upsell work that does not need doing or replace something that can be repaired.
The everyday work covers a wide range: clogged drains, dripping faucets, running toilets, garbage disposal installation, shutoff valve replacement, and fixture installation throughout the house. On the urgent side, we take calls for burst pipes, no hot water, and major leaks during our published hours. If water is going somewhere it should not, that is the kind of call we prioritize.
Slow drains are one of the most common calls we get, and they rarely fix themselves. A kitchen drain that drains slowly is usually grease and debris built up along the pipe wall. A bathroom drain that backs up is often hair and soap accumulation close to the surface, though it can run deeper. We use a drain snake for most household clogs and hydro jetting for stubborn main line blockages where buildup has narrowed the pipe significantly. The goal is to clear the line fully, not just punch a hole through the clog, so the drain flows the way it should.
Hidden leaks are the ones that cause the most damage, because they can run for weeks before a homeowner notices a wet spot or an unexplained spike in the water bill. We use pressure testing and electronic leak detection to locate the source without tearing into walls unnecessarily. The cause of a leak is explained, not just the patch - you find out where the water is coming from, why, and what the repair involves before any work starts. Slab leaks are a particular concern in Clark County, and we handle detection and repair for those as a dedicated service.
A water heater that stops producing hot water, starts leaking, or makes unusual sounds is telling you something is wrong. The visit covers a full diagnosis: we check the heating element, thermostat, anode rod, and connections on a tank unit, or the heat exchanger and flow sensor on a tankless system, and we give you a clear picture of whether repair or replacement makes more sense for the age and condition of the unit. If replacement is the right call, you get the rate on the phone so you know what you are looking at before anything is scheduled. We work on both tank and tankless water heaters across the full range of residential and commercial sizes.
If you are not sure your water pressure is where it should be across a multi-unit property or a commercial building, that is a conversation worth having before a tenant or employee makes it one for you. We work with property managers, apartment complexes, office buildings, and rental properties throughout Clark County on the full range of commercial plumbing needs: drain cleaning, sewer line repair, fixture installation, backflow preventer installation and testing, repiping, and water line service.
Commercial plumbing problems rarely happen at a convenient time, and scheduling flexibility matters when you are managing a property rather than a single household. Being open seven days a week from 7:30 AM to 9:30 PM means we can fit around site access, tenant schedules, and the practical realities of keeping a building running. You are talking to someone who knows the area and the older pipes in it. That context shapes how a job gets scoped and what questions get asked before anything is opened up. Pick up the phone and we will handle the pipes.
When the water will not stop, or the pressure has been dropping for weeks, or a pipe has started weeping behind a wall, the local context matters. Clark County's desert climate, hard water, and aging housing stock create a specific set of plumbing problems that show up again and again. Mineral buildup narrows supply lines. Soil movement stresses slab foundations. Pipes installed decades ago were not built for today's water chemistry or usage loads. The three services below address the issues we see most consistently in this area.
One call. Scoped properly. Flowing for good.
Slab leaks are common in Clark County because the soil beneath concrete foundations shifts with temperature and moisture changes, and that movement puts stress on copper supply lines running through or beneath the slab. A slab leak can run for a long time before it becomes visible at the surface, and by then the damage to the concrete and the subfloor above it is already done. Detection involves pressure testing and electronic listening equipment to pinpoint the leak location without unnecessary excavation. Repair options depend on where the leak sits and how accessible the line is, and we walk through the options with you before the work begins.
Older homes in the Whitney area were often built with galvanized steel pipe, which corrodes from the inside out over time. The result is reduced water pressure, discolored water, and recurring leaks at fittings and joints. Copper repiping and PEX repiping are both options depending on the layout and condition of the existing system. A whole-house repipe starts with a walk-through to assess what is in the walls, where the main runs are, and what the job will involve. That assessment is what makes the quote accurate, and it happens before any work is scheduled.
Low water pressure in a desert climate is often a mineral problem. Hard water leaves calcium and magnesium deposits inside supply lines and at fixture aerators, and those deposits accumulate over years until the flow at the faucet is noticeably reduced. A pressure diagnostic visit covers testing at multiple points in the system, tracing the pressure drop to its source, and checking shutoff valves and supply line connections that may be contributing to the problem. Sometimes the fix is straightforward. Sometimes it points to a deeper issue with the main line or the supply plumbing inside the walls. Either way, you get a clear picture of what is happening before any repair is recommended.
Sewer problems are among the most disruptive plumbing failures a property can have, and they rarely give much warning. A slow drain that suddenly backs up completely, sewage smell coming from a floor drain, or wet ground near the main line cleanout are all signs the sewer line needs attention. We handle main line clog removal, sewer line repair and replacement, and sewer backup repair for both residential and commercial properties. Where trenchless sewer repair is a viable option for the line condition and access, we discuss it as part of the scope. Hydro jetting is available for main line cleaning where buildup or root intrusion has narrowed the pipe.
We also handle backflow preventer installation and repair, and main water line repair and replacement where the supply side is the issue rather than the drain side. Straight answers about your pipes and fixtures is what the call is for - you find out what the line looks like, what the repair involves, and what it will cost before anything is dug up or opened. Call and we will get your water back on.
One of the questions we hear most often is some version of "what is this going to cost?" It is a fair question, and we answer it on the call. When you describe what is happening, we give you a rate for the work based on what the job involves. That price is confirmed before anything is scheduled, and you are told what it covers. Drain cleaning, water heater replacement, repiping, sewer line repair - every job gets a price before it starts, not after.
If the scope changes once we are on site because the problem turns out to be different from what the symptoms suggested, we tell you before we proceed. The rate on the phone is based on the information available at the time of the call. The confirmed price is based on what we find. That process keeps the conversation straightforward throughout.
One call. Scoped properly. Flowing for good.
Every home's plumbing tells a different story, and those stories play out across a wide stretch of Clark County. We serve Whitney as our primary base and take calls throughout the surrounding area, including Henderson, Paradise, Enterprise, Spring Valley, Sunrise Manor, and Boulder City. Whether the property is a single-family home, a rental unit, or a commercial building, the service area covers the county broadly.
We are available seven days a week from 7:30 AM to 9:30 PM, and emergency plumbing calls for situations like burst pipes, major leaks, and no hot water are answered during those hours. If you are dealing with something that cannot wait, call during our published hours and we will assess the situation and get someone moving. Call and we will get your water back on.
When you call, someone who knows the trade answers and can scope the job with you on the phone. That means you get a real conversation about what is happening, what the likely cause is, and what the visit will cover, not a message system or a callback queue. You are talking to someone who knows the area and the older pipes in it, which shapes how the job gets scoped before anyone is sent out. The price is confirmed on that call, before anything is scheduled.
Clark County has specific plumbing conditions that show up consistently: hard water that accelerates scale buildup and corrosion, slab foundations that put stress on buried copper lines, and housing stock with a range of pipe ages and materials. Knowing what is common in this area means the right questions get asked on the call and the diagnostic starts from a more informed position. A slab leak in Whitney behaves differently than a pipe failure in a basement, and the repair options reflect that. That local context shapes how the job is scoped, what equipment is used for detection, and which repair approach makes the most sense for the conditions here.
The same symptom, like low water pressure or a recurring drain backup, can have several different causes depending on the age of the pipe, the material it is made from, and where the problem is located in the system. A pressure drop in a newer home might point to a partially closed shutoff valve or a failing pressure regulator. In an older home with galvanized pipe, the same symptom usually means mineral buildup has narrowed the line over years. We trace the cause before recommending a fix, because the repair that holds is the one matched to what is actually happening, not the one that fits the symptom on paper.
The job is scoped on the phone before anyone arrives, and the repair is based on what the visit confirms, not on what might also be worth doing while we are there. If we find something additional during the job that genuinely needs attention, we tell you what it is, what it involves, and what it would cost before doing anything about it. The decision to expand the scope is yours, not ours. Straight answers about your pipes and fixtures is what the call is for, and that applies to the scope conversation as much as the price.
Before the work starts, we confirm the scope and the price. If what we find on site differs from what the symptoms suggested, we go through the updated picture with you before proceeding. For longer jobs like repiping or a slab leak repair with rerouting, we walk through what each stage involves as we get to it. You are not left waiting for a summary at the end. The goal is that you know what is happening at each step rather than finding out after the fact.
Before any work begins, we confirm the scope of the job and the price. You know what the visit will cover, what the repair involves, and what it will cost. If the scope needs to change because the problem is different from what the symptoms indicated, we have that conversation before proceeding, not after. We treat your home and its pipes the way we would our own, which means the work that gets done is the work that needs doing, and the price you agreed to is the one the job is built around.
If a part is not available at the time of the visit, we tell you that on the call or on site before work starts. We confirm what needs to be ordered, how that affects the timeline, and what the next step looks like before leaving the property. For jobs where the system needs to remain partially operational while a part is sourced, we make sure the situation is manageable rather than leaving you without water or with an open repair. The follow-up visit is scheduled before we leave so there is no ambiguity about when the job will be finished.
