Plumbing & Heating in Scotch 80s, NV

Most homes have copper supply lines — some of the earliest in the valley — along with cast iron drain and sewer pipes. A few of the oldest homes (early 1950s) may still have galvanized sections. After 50–70 years, all of these materials are candidates for inspection and likely repair or replacement.

Yes. The neighborhood's mature trees are one of its defining features, but their root systems routinely penetrate cast iron sewer joints. We recommend a camera inspection every two to three years and hydro-jetting to keep lines clear. When the pipe wall is compromised, we replace the affected section.

We pair every tankless installation with a softener recommendation to protect the heat exchanger from scale.

We lay drop cloths and rosin paper over work paths, wear shoe covers from the front door, and clean the site before we leave. Damage prevention is part of every BowTie visit — especially in homes with irreplaceable original flooring.

Yes. We regularly coordinate with general contractors on renovation projects — providing rough-in plumbing for new bathroom layouts, relocating supply and drain lines, and upgrading service to match the expanded scope of a remodeled home.
