Inches of precipitation in a normal year, rain and snow together

Most precipitation of the year comes in February

Check your drains and the slope around the house ahead of February. It takes an afternoon, and it can save a lot of drying later.

Before anyone arrives

What to do right now in North Las Vegas

You don't have to do all of this. Do what's safe, in this order, and leave the rest.

  1. Shut off the water

    Look for the main valve near the meter or where the line comes into the house, and turn it slowly, since older valves can stick. If it's one fixture, its own shutoff valve will do.

  2. Stay clear of the power

    If you can reach the breaker panel without stepping in water, switch off the wet rooms. If you can't, leave it alone, stay out of the water and tell us when you call.

  3. Take pictures first

    Before you clean up, photograph the water, where it came from and whatever it damaged. Your insurance company will ask, and you only get one chance at those shots.

  4. Rescue what you can

    Move rugs, papers, photos and electronics to a dry room, and prop furniture up off the wet floor. Everything else can wait.

  5. Let the air move

    If the water is clean and the power's safe, open interior doors and run the fans you have. Stay out if it's sewage or floodwater, and keep that air away from the rest of the house.

You've got about 24 to 48 hours to start drying before rot and mold become the bigger problem.

Typical build year

What to check around North Las Vegas before it leaks

A newer home usually means modern plumbing, which is a good start, though it doesn't mean nothing can go wrong. Fittings can loosen and appliance lines wear out, and a tank water heater only lasts so long, usually 8 to 12 years.

It's also worth learning where your main valve is now, while nothing's wrong. In newer houses it's often in the garage or a utility closet, and you don't want to be looking for it while water is running.

Help for every kind of water problem in North Las Vegas

The desert Southwest

Why water behaves differently in North Las Vegas

Weather

You can go months without thinking about rain, and then it all comes at once. Monsoon storms flood streets and yards in minutes and find every crack in an aging roof. Up in the higher country, a cold snap can freeze an exposed pipe just as easily as anywhere in the north.

Buildings

Tile over concrete slabs is everywhere, and water that gets under it stays there. Stucco can crack and let rain in behind the finish. Flat roofs depend on small scuppers to drain, and rooftop or attic cooling units can leak straight into the ceiling below.

Ground

Baked ground acts more like a parking lot than a sponge. Rain runs off it fast, collects in low spots and pushes against anything in its way. If your yard slopes toward your home, or the patio has settled, you may find out in the first monsoon storm.

Drying

Desert air can dry a surface in hours and leave the slab below it wet. So the drying goes where the water is, with suction floor mat systems over tile and injectors feeding air into wall cavities.

When you call

What happens after you call us from North Las Vegas

The call itself is short. Tell us your address in North Las Vegas, what got wet and if it's still coming in. We'll connect you with a restoration specialist from our network who covers Clark County, and they'll tell you what they can do and when. It doesn't matter if it's a house, a rental or a business.

When the specialist arrives, the first job is finding where the water went, because that's rarely where it's pooled. Thermal cameras and moisture meters show how far it has traveled behind walls. They'll also work out what kind of water it is. Category 1 is clean water from a supply line, Category 2 is dirty, like a washer overflow, and Category 3 is sewage or floodwater. Category 3 means sealing the area with plastic, called containment, and running negative air machines with HEPA filters to keep the dirty air away from the rest of your home.

Drying is a process, and you'll have strange machines in the house for a few days. The bulk of the water goes first, by truck-mounted or portable extractor. Air movers then lift moisture off surfaces, and low grain refrigerant (LGR) dehumidifiers remove it from the air. A cold building or dense material may need desiccant units instead. Daily psychrometric readings show if the air is still pulling water out.

So how do you know it's done? It's done when the numbers say so. A dry baseline from untouched materials in your house is the target, and each wet area has to reach it before the equipment leaves. It follows the IICRC S500 standard, and you get a record of the readings for your insurance claim.

What can usually be saved in a North Las Vegas home

Don't write everything off just because it's wet. Clean-water carpet can usually be dried where it sits, with new pad underneath. Hardwood floors respond well to floor drying mats if you get to them early, though you may see some cupping for a while. And drywall usually needs a flood cut near the floor, not a whole new wall.

Things change when the water's dirty. Anything soft that sewage or floodwater reached, such as carpet, pad and insulation, gets thrown out. Hard surfaces get cleaned and treated. Have a professional look at any gas appliance that got wet before you turn it back on, and don't walk on a floor that's gone spongy.

What people in North Las Vegas ask us

How fast can someone get to me in North Las Vegas?

Often within hours. Our network covers Clark County, and we'll look for whoever can reach you soonest. Storms are the exception, because every crew in the area gets busy, so please don't wait to see if it gets worse.

Can I clean up water damage myself?

You can handle a minor spill if it's clean water and it hasn't gone anywhere. For anything that's reached the carpet pad, the walls or the floor below, professional drying really does make a difference, and floodwater or sewage should be left to people with the right protective gear.

How long does it take to dry out a house?

A small leak that's caught early may dry in two or three days. A flooded room with wet subfloor and insulation can take a week or more, and repairs start after that.

Can wet hardwood floors and carpet be saved?

It depends on time and on the water. For hardwood, floor drying panels and patience can do a lot, though refinishing may still be needed. For carpet, clean water usually means new pad and the same carpet. Contaminated water means replacing both.

Will my insurance pay for water damage?

It usually depends on where the water came from. A homeowners policy usually covers a burst pipe. Outside flooding needs separate flood insurance, and sewer backup often needs an add-on. It's worth reading your policy, and it's worth having those photos.
