Water Damage questions
Why do Las Vegas homes get plumbing leaks?
Hard water deposits and corrosion wear on copper and fittings, and slab construction hides leaks until damage appears.
How do I verify a Nevada contractor?
Search the Nevada State Contractors Board license lookup.
How fast does water damage need to be dried?
As soon as possible. Mold can start growing on wet drywall and wood in 24 to 48 hours, and materials keep absorbing water the longer it sits.
Does homeowners insurance cover water damage?
Usually for sudden, accidental water such as a burst pipe or appliance failure. Gradual leaks, flooding from outside and sewer backups often need separate coverage or endorsements.
