Faucet and Fixture Installation in Las Vegas

Faucets in Las Vegas wear out faster than the national average because of hard water at 16 to 18 grains per gallon. Cartridge faucets like the Moen 1225 and Delta RP19804 collect calcium and start dripping at year 5 to 7. Touch-clean shower heads scale at the spray face. CheckedHomePros routes faucet and fixture installs to plumbers carrying a Nevada C-1 license who stock Delta, Moen, Kohler, and Pfister parts on the truck and replace angle stops and supply lines while they are under the sink.

Faucet & Fixture Installation: common questions

Can I supply my own faucet?
Most plumbers will install homeowner-supplied faucets, but the labor warranty usually does not cover defects in the fixture. If the faucet leaks at year 2 from a manufacturing defect, you are on your own with the manufacturer.
Why does my new faucet drip already?
Usually debris in the supply line caught in the cartridge when the water turned back on. The plumber should flush the lines before final assembly. If it happens at a fresh install, call them back for a free fix.
Should I get a single-handle or two-handle shower valve?
Single-handle pressure-balance valves like the Moen Posi-Temp are current code in Nevada and required for new construction. Two-handle valves are still allowed in existing homes but cannot keep up with anti-scald requirements at a code update.
What about touchless kitchen faucets?
Delta Touch2O and Moen MotionSense are reliable in Las Vegas if you keep the battery pack accessible. Plan on a battery change every 18 to 24 months, or run the optional AC adapter to a nearby outlet.
Do I need a permit for a faucet swap?
No. Faucet swaps without altering the rough-in plumbing do not require a permit in the city of Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas, or Clark County. Full shower valve replacement that opens the wall sometimes does. Ask the plumber.
How long do faucets last in Las Vegas?
Cartridge faucets average 7 to 10 years without a softener, 12 to 15 with one. Ceramic disc cartridges hold up better than rubber-seat versions. Brand matters less than whether you have a softener.
