Water damage and drying in Aliante

About Aliante

Aliante is a master planned community of about 1,900 acres in northwest North Las Vegas. It opened in May 2003 and was planned for about 7,500 homes. Sun City Aliante, a 55 and over Del Webb community, sits inside it, along with the Aliante Golf Club and nature park.

Homes from 2003 onward are past the 6 to 12 year life of a typical tank water heater, and many are on their second or third. Supply lines, washer hoses and toilet valves from the same era are due too.

The water damage we see most in Aliante

• Water heater leaks in garages
• Toilet supply line and fill valve failures
• Washer hose bursts in laundry rooms
• Exposed pipe breaks on the colder north side nights

Weather numbers that matter in Aliante

Those numbers explain the pattern. Freeze breaks are rare and mostly hit exposed outdoor pipes. Heat is constant, which speeds up how fast standing water goes bad. And most of the year's rain arrives in short monsoon storms, which the county flood district says can flash flood even on sunny days between July and September.

Water and hard water in Aliante

North Las Vegas Utilities serves about 376,000 people with Lake Mead water treated at Southern Nevada Water Authority plants plus the city's own wells. Its water report calls the water hard from calcium and magnesium.

Permits for repairs

Drying and drywall work usually starts right away. Plumbing, electrical and structural repairs can need a permit from the City of North Las Vegas, which is its own city with its own building department. Call the city before plumbing, electrical or structural work.
