Water Damage in Paradise Homes

Paradise holds most of the Strip and a lot of the valley's apartments and condos. Census estimates show about 58% of occupied homes rented and a median build year of 1988. In stacked buildings a leak almost always reaches the unit below, so the neighbor and the manager are part of the first call.

  • In a condo or apartment, check the unit below and tell the manager in writing.
  • Renters should call their own renters insurer as well as the landlord.
  • Permits go to the Clark County Building Department, because Paradise is unincorporated.

Storms and Runoff Near Paradise

  • 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.
