Why this call
What is going wrong in a North Las Vegas house?
Older North Las Vegas near downtown is small lots and aging heaters. Those heaters sit close to bedrooms and fail as a visible flood in a short plan. North of that, newer slab houses hide supply lines under the concrete. The floor warms, the pad wets from below, and there is no heater spray to point at. An aging-heater flood and a warm slab need different openings in the same city.
- An older downtown-adjacent heater flooding a short plan.
- A newer north-side slab that is warm with no spray.
- Pad wet from below in a production house.
Say older heater flood or newer warm slab. If the heater is spraying, say which room it has reached. If nothing is spraying and the floor is warm, say that instead of guessing a hose.
The houses
What gets wet in North Las Vegas?
North Las Vegas has older neighborhoods near downtown and a large field of newer slab houses to the north. The older streets are small lots and aging heaters. The north tracts are production slabs on desert soil. A heater failure in either one puts standing water on concrete with a pad on top. The houses do not have basements.
The water
How does water usually get into a North Las Vegas house?
The crew call is water standing inside from a pipe or heater, owner on the phone, during the daily dispatch window of 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Pacific. Desert washes and monsoon sheet flow into low garages are outside water. Say which you have.
