Why this call
What is going wrong in a Las Vegas house?
The City of Las Vegas is downtown and the north and northwest valleys, not the Strip. Downtown masonry and older wood houses on small lots show a leak in the finishes the day it starts. Valley slabs hide a hot-water line under the concrete until the floor is warm, and garage heaters fail into a room that was never built with a basement to catch them. There is no basement in the typical valley plan. The water stays in the pad.
- Stained finishes in an older downtown house.
- A warm slab in a northwest or north valley tract.
- A garage heater flood with soaked pad and no lower level to drain to.
Say downtown older house or valley slab, and heater or warm floor. The Strip is not this page. A house you own in the city, with standing water inside, is.
The houses
What gets wet in Las Vegas?
The City of Las Vegas covers downtown and the north and northwest valleys, not the Strip. Downtown still has older masonry and wood houses on small lots. The northwest is slab production houses, many two-story, with the water heater in the garage. Hard water and attic or garage heaters fail, and a garage hose floods a slab that has no basement to hold it. Summer heat splits supply lines that were already brittle.
The water
How does water usually get into a Las Vegas house?
A burst line or a heater with water standing in the house is the crew call. Monsoon storms drop a year’s rain in an hour and sheet-flow into garages from the alley. That outside water is not a plumbing claim. Say which one is on the floor, and that you own the house. The call can be scheduled between 9 a.m. and 8 p.m. Pacific, every day.
The map
Which parts of Las Vegas does this page cover?
