Local Service, Done Right
If you've spotted a damp patch on a wall that wasn't there last month, or your water bill jumped without any change in habits — your copper supply lines may be telling you something. Desert Shores is a 1990s-era lakefront community built around four man-made lakes in northwest Las Vegas. Homes are now 30-plus years old, putting their original copper squarely in the pinhole-leak window — the period when copper pipe exposed to Las Vegas hard water for decades begins developing tiny perforations. Pool and water-feature plumbing is more common here than in most valley neighborhoods, and the HOA-managed community requires exterior work approvals for any visible plumbing changes.
Here's what BowTie handles across Desert Shores:
- Pipe repair & repiping — pinhole-leak detection and repair in aging copper, plus full repiping with PEX-A when multiple leaks signal system-wide deterioration
- Water heaters — tank and tankless replacement with anode-rod checks, sized for homes with pool heater connections that increase hot-water demand
- Faucet & leak repair — cartridge replacement for 30-year-old builder-grade fixtures, hidden-leak detection behind walls, and drip-free fixture restoration
- Sewer & drain service — camera inspections and hydro-jetting for PVC laterals, plus backflow preventer testing for pool plumbing connections
- Heating repair & maintenance — furnace diagnostics, ignitor and heat-exchanger replacement, and pre-season tune-ups for units that collect lake-area humidity during the off-season
- Water purification — free water testing, whole-house softeners to slow scale damage in remaining copper, reverse-osmosis drinking systems, and filtration
Every visit starts with a diagnosis, not a sales pitch. You'll get a flat-rate quote before any work begins, and our Champagne Club members lock in priority scheduling, repair discounts, and annual system inspections. That's the BowTie Touch — shoe covers, drop cloths, a clean site when we leave, and zero surprises on the invoice.
Your Desert Shores home deserves better than a guess. Let us diagnose it properly.

What Neighbors Say
"The gentleman was extremely professional, friendly, and efficient. We had another plumber come in previously and he was going to break through the wall behind our stove and not fix the wall afterwards. He was going to charge $1250.00. Your man did just the spout for $250.00 and it works beautifully. Loved the name of your company, and the service."
"Excellent company to do business with. Would definitely recommend. They replaced my water heater. Called them in the morning. Hot water by the evening. Thank you to Kyle, Reid and the rest of their team."
"Bow Tie Home Services gave excellent service installing our toilet. The company responded immediately and understood what was needed. Joe came over and assessed what was needed, picked up the toilet from Lowe's, and installed it with ease. Thank you, Joe and Chris who took the call!"
Desert Shores, NV Service Questions
Why is my Desert Shores home developing pinhole leaks?
Most homes were built in the early-to-mid 1990s with copper supply lines. After 30-plus years of Las Vegas hard water — some of the hardest municipal water in the country — the interior pipe walls thin from scale and corrosion, producing pinhole leaks. These often appear first at elbows and tee fittings.
Do I need HOA approval for plumbing work in Desert Shores?
Interior plumbing work doesn't require HOA approval. If the repair involves exterior changes — like relocating a cleanout or adding a hose bib — we recommend checking with the Desert Shores Community Association before scheduling.
How often should I flush my water heater in Desert Shores?
Annually at minimum. Desert Shores water heaters accumulate sediment faster than average due to the hard water supply. An annual flush with anode-rod check removes mineral buildup, improves efficiency, and can add years to the unit's lifespan.
What water purification do you recommend for my Desert Shores home?
A whole-house water softener paired with an under-sink reverse-osmosis system for drinking water. We start with a free water test to determine your exact hardness level. The softener reduces scale throughout the plumbing system, while the RO provides clean drinking water without the mineral taste.
Do you service pool plumbing in Desert Shores?
We handle pool-related plumbing including backflow preventer testing, supply line repair, and connections to pool heaters. For pool equipment itself (pumps, filters, chlorinators), we recommend a specialized pool service company.
