  • Las Vegas and Clark CountyThe service area on our own mark. Every incorporated city in the valley plus the unincorporated towns, which is where about a million people live.
  • Repair, install, maintainThe three verbs on our logo, and the whole scope. Emergency repair through to planned replacement and annual servicing.
  • Water softeners, all makes and modelsInstallation, repair, replacement and maintenance, including units that came with the house. We are not an authorised dealer for any brand and we do not claim to be.
  • Sourced facts, no invented credentialsEvery local figure on this site links to the agency that published it. Nothing about licences, ratings or guarantees is printed until it has been verified.

What we do, in three verbs

Repair, install and maintain. Those three words are printed on our own mark and they describe the whole scope: plumbing repair and emergency work, drains and sewers, water heaters including tankless, fixtures and disposals, and water treatment.

Water treatment matters more here than in most markets, so it has six pages rather than one. Las Vegas tap water is 291 parts per million, 17 grains per gallon, which the Las Vegas Valley Water District classifies as very hard. That single fact is behind a large share of the repeat repairs in this valley: scale in water heaters, seized faucet cartridges, blocked toilet rim jets and appliances that never reach the life on the box.

We install, repair, replace and maintain water softeners of all makes and models, including units that were in the house before you bought it. What we do not do is describe ourselves as an authorised or factory dealer for any manufacturer, because that is a relationship we would have to be able to show you.

Where we work

Las Vegas and Clark County, Nevada, which is the service area printed on our logo. That covers the City of Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas and Boulder City, and the unincorporated towns including Paradise, Spring Valley, Enterprise, Sunrise Manor, Summerlin South and Centennial Hills.

We are a service area business. We come to you, so there is no counter to visit and no street address published on this site. The phone number is the way in.

What this site does not tell you, and why

This is the unusual part of an about page, and it is deliberate.

You will not find a licence number, a star rating, a review count, a founding year, a staff list, a guarantee, a financing offer, a response time promise or a price list anywhere on this site. Not because those things are secret, but because none of them has been verified for publication yet, and publishing an unverified credential is worse than publishing nothing.

That is not a hypothetical concern in this market. A plumbing site serving this same valley currently prints a licence number in its footer that is plainly a placeholder: seven sequential digits, the kind of value a theme ships with. It is also the single cheapest claim on a trade website for a competitor or a regulator to disprove.

So the blanks on this site are real blanks, and they fill in when something is checked rather than when somebody asserts it. The licence number is the worked example: a number arrived, it was searched on the Nevada State Contractors Board register before it went anywhere near a page, and it now appears in the footer, above the fold on the homepage and on every area page with its classification exactly as issued. When there are real reviews, they will carry a first name, a neighbourhood, the service bought and a link to the source. Until then, that space stays empty.

What you can hold us to today

The diagnosis comes before the number. We find out what is wrong, tell you what it is, and price the work before anything is taken apart.

You hear the cheaper option where one exists, including the ones that cost nothing. Several pages here tell you how to clear a salt bridge, clean an aerator or press a reset button, which are three of the most common calls that were never really jobs.

Every local figure on this site is sourced and linked. Hardness figures from the water district and the water authority, permit addresses and phone numbers from Clark County and the City of Las Vegas, licensing rules from the Nevada State Contractors Board. Check any of them; that is why they are there.

And ask us for our licence number when it is available, then check it on the register. That takes about a minute and you should do it to every contractor who quotes you.

How Nevada licenses this trade

Worth knowing regardless of who you hire. Nevada licenses plumbing under classification C-1, Plumbing and Heating, issued by the Nevada State Contractors Board under chapter 624 of the Nevada Administrative Code.

To qualify, the qualifying individual has to show at least four full years of experience at journeyman level, or as a foreman, supervisor or contractor, within the fifteen years before the application. The board maintains a public register, so any licence can be checked in about a minute.

The five things that decide what a plumbing job costs. We publish no figure, so this is what to ask about instead, of anyone who quotes you.

Photography note

These are illustrations and diagrams, not photographs of our work. No job photography, before and after pair, van, uniform or team photograph appears anywhere on this site, because we do not have verified photographs of this company work yet and generating them would fabricate evidence about a real business. Real job photography is on the list to add.

Checkable, not claimed

We have no reviews to show you yet, so here is verifiable fact instead

A new site with a wall of glowing testimonials should make you suspicious, and this one does not have them because no review corpus has been verified for this brand. Rather than fill the space with invented quotes, these are three things about your water and your county that you can check against the agency that published them.

Your water is 291 ppm, and that is not our opinion

The Las Vegas Valley Water District publishes valley tap water at 291 parts per million, 17 grains per gallon, and categorises it as very hard. It is the reason fixtures and water heaters here do not last as long as the box promised.

Read the water district page

Softening is a preference, not a health need

The Southern Nevada Water Authority states that removing calcium and magnesium softens water but is not a necessity to protect your health. Any company telling you otherwise is contradicting the agency that tests your supply.

What to have ready

None of it is required. All of it makes the call shorter.

  • Where you areThe address, and a cross street if the address is new or hard to find. Which end of the valley you are on decides who is closest.
  • What is happening, in your own wordsNo plumbing vocabulary needed. "Water under the sink since this morning" is a better description than a guess at the cause.
  • Whether water is running right nowThis is the question that changes everything else. If it is, say so first and we will talk you to the shutoff before anything else.
  • What you have already triedPlunged it, reset the disposal, flipped the breaker, ran the softener through a regeneration. It saves repeating the steps that did not work.
  • Whether you own or rentA landlord or an HOA sometimes has to authorise the work, and it is better to find that out on the phone than at the door.

Water pouring right now? Do not read the rest of this. Call (725) 255-9011 and shut off the supply while it rings.

About us, the questions people ask

How long has Preferred Plumber Company been in business?

No founding year or years in business figure is published on this site, because none has been verified for publication. It is on the list of things to confirm and add. We would rather leave it blank than print a number nobody checked.

Why are there no reviews or testimonials?

Because no verified review corpus exists for this brand yet, and inventing testimonials is the most common dishonesty on trade websites. When real reviews exist, each will carry a first name, a neighbourhood, the service purchased and a link to the source it came from.

Are you licensed, bonded and insured?

Licensed: yes, and the number is published so you can check it rather than take it on trust. Nevada State Contractors Board licence NV #0078989, classification C-1D Plumbing, held by Preferred Plumbing LLC.

Bonded and insured: no claim is published here, because a licence record is not an insurance certificate and this site does not print things it has not seen. Ask for the certificate before work begins, from us or from anyone else quoting the job.

Do you have a physical location?

No public counter. We are a service area business covering Las Vegas and Clark County, which is why no street address appears on this site and no map with a pin does either.

Plumbing done right. People first.

That is on our logo. Hold us to the four commitments above.
