Plumber in Mount Charleston
Fast, licensed plumbing in Mount Charleston — about 45 minutes from our Las Vegas shop. Drains, water heaters, leaks, repipes and 24/7 emergencies.
Mount Charleston is another world — pines, cabins and real winter, up in the Spring Mountains about 45 minutes and 40 miles from our S Eastern Ave shop. The plumbing challenges up here are the opposite of the valley floor: not desert heat, but hard freezes that split pipes and crack water heaters when nobody's watching.
We make the climb up Kyle Canyon for cabin owners and full-timers alike. Frozen and burst pipes, well and septic plumbing, water heaters and winterization — handled by a crew that understands a mountain home is not the same as a Summerlin tract house.

Homes on Mount Charleston are cabins and mountain houses, many of them seasonal, spread through Kyle Canyon, Old Town and the Rainbow subdivision along SR-157 and SR-158. Most run on wells and septic systems, with plumbing that has to survive months of sub-freezing nights — a completely different design problem than anything down in the valley.
Freeze damage is the big one. A cabin left unheated through a cold snap can come back to burst supply lines and a cracked water heater. Proper winterization — draining lines, protecting the heater, insulating vulnerable runs — prevents most of it. Our guide to winterizing your pipes is a good start, and we handle the burst pipe repairs when winter wins anyway.
We know the mountain — the switchbacks up SR-157 into Kyle Canyon, the turn toward Lee Canyon and the ski area on SR-156, and the cabin clusters near the Mount Charleston Lodge and Cathedral Rock. Access and weather up here demand a plumber who plans the trip, and we do.
One spring call had a seasonal owner returning to a cabin off Kyle Canyon Road to find a supply line had burst over the winter and drained through a wall. We repaired the line, checked the rest of the system for freeze cracks, and set the owner up with a winterization plan so it wouldn't happen twice. For a mid-winter emergency, our 24/7 emergency plumbers will still make the drive.
The plumbing Mount Charleston homes need most:
A burst pipe pours gallons a minute. We answer 24/7, help you kill the water, and repair the line fast — section fix or full PEX repipe.
Learn moreNo hot water? We repair and replace tank and tankless heaters, and fight the hard-water sediment that kills them early.
Learn moreSpiking water bill or a warm spot on the floor? We locate hidden leaks precisely — no guesswork, no needless demolition.
Learn moreRecurring pinhole leaks or old poly/galvanized pipe? A clean, permitted PEX repipe ends the patch-after-patch cycle for good.
Learn morePlumbing emergency at any hour? A real person answers 24/7 and we dispatch fast from our Silverado Ranch base — damage stopped first, price up front.
Learn moreUp in the Spring Mountains the plumbing challenge flips: not desert heat, but hard freezes that split pipes and crack water heaters while a cabin sits empty. Homes through Kyle Canyon, Old Town and the Rainbow subdivision are built for a world the valley never sees.
There's almost no full-service plumber based on the mountain, so we're often the closest one who'll make the 45-minute drive up SR-157 — and access and weather up here demand a plumber who plans the trip. We winterize cabins before the freeze, repair the burst lines when winter wins anyway, check the whole system for freeze cracks, and even make the mid-winter emergency run. A mountain home isn't a Summerlin tract house, and we treat it accordingly.
We do. It's about 45 minutes up Kyle Canyon from our shop, and there's almost no full-service plumber based on the mountain, so we're often the closest one who'll come. Written pricing up front, no guesswork — call (614) 830-0578.
Winterize it before the first hard freeze — drain the lines, protect the water heater and insulate exposed runs. We can winterize it for you, and if a pipe has already burst, our burst pipe repair crew will handle it. Even seasonal cabins need a plan up here.
Yes. Most homes up here run wells and septic, and we handle the house-side plumbing that connects to them — water heaters, pressure issues, supply lines, leaks and drains. We work around the mountain's access and weather, and we'll tell you honestly if a problem is one for a well-pump or septic specialist instead.
That's a call we make often in spring. We repair the burst line, then check the whole system for other freeze cracks a single burst can hide, and set you up with a winterization plan so it doesn't happen again. For a mid-winter emergency, our 24/7 crew will still make the drive up — call (614) 830-0578.
