The first fifteen minutes
These five steps limit the damage before anyone arrives.
- Shut the water. Close the main valve, or the fixture valve if the leak is right there.
- Stay clear of power. Never step into water to reach a breaker.
- Take photos first. Wide shots, then the water line on walls and furniture.
- Lift what you can. Rugs, boxes, cords and anything with wood legs.
- Call or text. Drying should start within 24 to 48 hours, as EPA advises.
Why water damage here is its own thing
Las Vegas is dry, hot and hard on plumbing. The air helps a wet room dry out, yet monsoon storms in July and August can push runoff through doors and roofs, and very hard water wears out heaters, valves and supply lines.
Sources are NOAA 1991 to 2020 normals for the airport, the LVVWD water quality facts page and the record of the 1999 flood. See the monsoon guide for more.
