Water Damage in Summerlin South Homes

Summerlin South is unincorporated, so unlike most of Summerlin its permits go to Clark County, not the city. Census estimates put the median home at 2006, and only about 1% of homes predate 1980. Big custom homes have long pipe runs and many fixtures, so finding the source can take longer than the dry out.

  • Check whether your address is in the city or the county before pulling a permit.
  • Know where every shutoff is, including the one for the irrigation line.
  • Ask for moisture readings in writing for your insurer.

Storms and Runoff Near Summerlin South

  • 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.
