From the Las Vegas valley to Reno, Nevada faucets deal with very hard water in the south, hard freezes in the north and desert heat almost everywhere. Call (888) 554-0426 and we connect you with an independent contractor who serves your area.
Call the number on this page, tell us your city or zip code and what the faucet is doing, and we connect you with an independent local contractor. Our service is free to homeowners. You agree on the price and timing with the contractor and pay the contractor directly.
Southern Nevada runs on very hard Colorado River water and summer heat, while the Reno area has milder water but real winter freezes. A scaled-up cartridge in Henderson is a different problem than a split spigot in Sparks. That is why we build local pages for each city, with the details that matter there.
Pick your city to read about the faucet problems we see most there, the neighborhoods we help, and what to ask a contractor. We are adding more Nevada cities over time. If yours is not listed yet, you can still call.
Very hard water, desert heat and homes from 1950s ranches to gated communities.
Very hard water, golf communities and fast-growing hillside neighborhoods.
Slightly hard water, hard winter freezes and homes from historic blocks to new subdivisions.
Very hard water, fast growth and many builder faucets reaching the end of their life.
Slightly hard water, cold winters and a mix of rail-town homes and hillside suburbs.
Faucet problems differ across Nevada because water hardness, heat and cold vary so much. Very hard water builds scale in the Las Vegas valley. Reno and Sparks have slightly hard water but real freezes. Many homes are 15 to 35 years old, so builder faucets and supply lines are wearing out.
Utility-reported data lists Las Vegas, Henderson and North Las Vegas as very hard and Reno and Sparks as slightly hard. Scale leaves white crust on spouts, clogs aerators, stiffens handles and wears out cartridges, mostly in the south. Hardness can vary by address and by source, so your own water provider can tell you more.
| City | Water hardness (utility-reported) |
|---|---|
| Las Vegas | Very hard |
| Henderson | Very hard |
| Reno | Slightly hard |
| North Las Vegas | Very hard |
| Sparks | Slightly hard |
Southern Nevada has very hot summers and mild winters, with a freeze on only a few nights a year. Heat dries out rubber seals and hoses. Northern Nevada, including Reno and Sparks, sees cold winters with frequent hard freezes that can split outdoor spigots and pipes in garages and exterior walls.
Nevada grew fast from the 1990s on, so many homes are from the 1990s through the 2010s, with builder-grade faucets and plastic supply lines now wearing out. Older neighborhoods have older valves and lines. Many neighborhoods have HOAs, and many homes are rentals, so a repair may involve an association or a landlord.
Whatever the problem, there is a page that explains it. Each one covers signs, causes, what a repair involves and what changes the price.

In the north, remove hoses, cover spigots and insulate pipes before a hard freeze. In the south, shade hose bibs from summer sun and clean aerators every few months to fight scale. Everywhere, know where your main shut-off is and check for slow drips each season.
After a freeze or a summer leak: Cracked fittings may only leak later. If you see water, shut off the main valve and call a pro. See our outdoor faucet repair guide and emergency faucet repair guide.
Ask for the contractor’s license number and proof of insurance, then check them yourself. Get the full price in writing before work starts. Ask what the warranty covers on parts and labor. The homeowner is responsible for confirming the license and insurance required for the work in Nevada.

In the Las Vegas valley, yes. Utility data lists Las Vegas, Henderson and North Las Vegas as very hard, so scale builds in aerators and cartridges. Reno and Sparks are listed as slightly hard, so scale matters less.
In the north, yes. Reno and Sparks see frequent hard freezes. The Las Vegas valley rarely freezes but can on a clear winter night. Remove hoses and cover spigots when a freeze is forecast.
Yes. Heat dries out rubber washers and packing and can crack plastic fittings. Outdoor hose bibs and irrigation connections are the most affected.
