Water Damage in Henderson Homes

Henderson is its own city with its own water department and its own permit counter. Its water runs a little harder than the LVVWD figure, at about 18 grains per gallon, and hard water leaves scale in water heaters and valves. Census estimates put the median home at 2001, and about 34% of occupied homes are rented.

  • Set a softener between 16 and 19 grains per gallon, as the city advises.
  • If your home predates 1989, ask about the solder on any copper line that is opened up.
  • Permits go to Henderson Building and Fire Safety, not Clark County.

Storms and Runoff Near Henderson

  • The Las Vegas Valley is a basin with a single outlet, the Las Vegas Wash, so rain runoff drains to the east side of the valley and on to Lake Mead.Source en.wikipedia.org
  • Rain over the mountains around the valley can flood the valley floor as it runs off, and more hardscape as the valley grew has added to that runoff.Source en.wikipedia.org

Storm water that ran over the ground is Category 3 water. It needs cleaning and often removal of soaked materials, not just fans. See flood cleanup and the live storm tracker.
