Plumber in Boulder City, NV

Boulder City Is Home. We Live Here, Work Here, and Answer Our Own Phone.

The Dam Plumber is a family plumbing shop based right here in Boulder City. We run the trucks ourselves, and when you call, one of us picks up. Boulder City is the town that built the Hoover Dam, and everything out here has the dam in it. So does your plumber.

We work all over town: the old dam-era homes in the historic district, the newer houses on the edges of town, and the businesses along Nevada Way and downtown. A lot of our neighbors are retired, and a lot of them are watching their budget. We get that. You'll get a straight answer about what's wrong, a price before we start, and options that fit what you can spend. We also head out to Henderson, Las Vegas and North Las Vegas, and across the river into Mohave County, Arizona, but this is home base. When the phone rings in Boulder City, it's usually a neighbor on the other end, and we treat it that way.

Fixtures & General

How It Works

Our Step-by-Step Process in Boulder City

Most of what we do is service calls, and they all go about the same way. No surprises, no sales pitch. Here's how it works when you call us in Boulder City.

  1. 1

    You call, and you talk to us

    Call 725-254-0089. During business hours, Monday through Friday from 8 to 4:30, you'll usually get one of us on the phone. After hours, you still get one of us. Tell us what's going on, and we'll set up a time to come out. If water's pouring out somewhere, we'll walk you through shutting it off while we get rolling. If you're a veteran or a Boulder City senior center member, tell us on the call so the discount comes off.

  2. 2

    We come out and take a look

    We show up, find the problem and explain it in plain English. We don't walk your whole house looking for things to sell you. We look at what you called about. If it's a drain or sewer problem, we can run a camera down the line so you can see it for yourself. If it's a leak in a wall or under the slab, we find it first, so we only open up what we have to.

  3. 3

    You get an upfront price and your options

    Before any work starts, you know exactly what it costs. And if the job goes south once we're into it, it's still the same price. You also get options: a temporary fix, a repair, or dig it up and replace it. We'll tell you honestly which ones are a good idea and which ones aren't, and what we'd do if it was our house. You pick. Nobody here is paid on commission, so we don't have a reason to push the big job. Plenty of folks in town can't want a full repipe or a new sewer line all at once, and that's fine. We'll tell you what a temporary fix buys you and what the full job looks like, so you can plan.

  4. 4

    We knock it out

    Once you say go, we get it done. We get in, do the work right, and don't mess around. We treat our customers like family and your house like it's our own, and we'll keep you posted if anything comes up along the way. If insurance is involved, we'll work with your insurance company too.

  5. 5

    You check that it's good to go

    Before we leave, you check the work. Run the water, flush the toilet, feel the hot water. We want you to see that it's fixed, not just take our word for it. Our workmanship is warrantied for one year on Nevada jobs, so if something we did isn't right, call us and we'll come back. And if you've got questions about what we did, ask. We'd rather explain it twice than leave you wondering.
