The City of Las Vegas has adopted the 2024 Uniform Plumbing Code with City amendments, effective January 2026. Clark County adopted the 2024 Uniform Plumbing Code with Southern Nevada amendments for permit applications filed from January 11, 2026. Several City amendments bear directly on commercial service:

• Backflow testing (Section 603.4.2). The premise owner or responsible person must have each backflow prevention assembly tested by a certified tester at installation, repair or relocation and at least annually after that, or more often if the authority having jurisdiction requires it. The tester leaves a copy of the certification on site.
• Grease interceptors (Section 1014.1). Where the authority having jurisdiction requires pretreatment, the interceptor must be an approved type complying with one of the listed standards (including ASME A112.14.3, ASME A112.14.4, CSA B481 and PDI G-101). Fixtures such as floor sinks, scullery and mop sinks and trash can wash areas in food establishments drain to it, and the City’s note points to Municipal Code Title 14.17, which requires interceptors where food is prepared or dishes are washed.
• Water heaters (Sections 507.5 and 608.5). A watertight drain pan is required where a water heater sits in an attic or on a ceiling or floor assembly, or anywhere a leak would cause damage. Temperature and pressure relief drains discharge to the exterior of the building unless the manufacturer’s listing prevents it, or through an air gap to an approved floor sink, mop sink or floor drain.

Southern Nevada Building Officials also publish regional details used across the valley, including a water heater strap detail (P-105) and a floor sink installation detail (P-100).

Heat affects plumbing scheduling more than the piping itself. Backflow assemblies at the street, water heaters in rooftop or exterior enclosures and roof drain lines are checked early in the day where building rules allow. Roof drains and storm lines that run through ceilings above sales floors and dining rooms are cleared before summer storms so a blocked line does not back up into the space.

The sanitary sewer and the storm drain are separate systems in the Las Vegas Valley. Mop water, drain cleaning waste and grease belong in the sanitary system or with a hauler, never in a storm drain.

1. Request. Submitted through the platform or by phone, with photos where available.
2. Triage. Facility First confirms scope, priority, warranty, City or County jurisdiction, and whether a permit, test certificate or pump-out record is involved.
3. Dispatch. A vetted plumbing provider in Las Vegas holding the required Nevada license, and tester certification where needed, receives the work order.
4. Photo close-out. The provider documents the repair, test result or pump-out manifest.
5. Verification and invoice. The work is checked against the request and invoiced in one format.

Work within the client’s approval limits proceeds directly. Anything above a limit, such as a water heater replacement, is quoted first.
