About Paradise
Paradise is an unincorporated town formed in 1950. It held 191,238 people in the 2020 census and contains Harry Reid International Airport, UNLV and most of the Strip. Every address in it says Las Vegas, which is why so many owners are surprised to learn their permits come from Clark County.
Housing here runs from Strip adjacent condos and apartments to Paradise Palms, about 100 mid century modern homes from the 1960s about three miles east of the Strip. Older homes mean older supply lines and plumbing, and condos mean leaks that cross from one unit to the next.
The water damage we see most in Paradise
- Condo leaks from the unit above, where the HOA, the neighbor and you may each have a policy
- Older supply lines and fixtures in mid century homes
- Water heater leaks in garages and closets
- Monsoon water at low patio doors
Weather numbers that matter in Paradise
| Measure | Normal |
|---|---|
| Days at 100 degrees or more | 78 |
| Rain per year | 4.18 inches |
| Nights at 32 degrees or below | 10 |
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 Paradise
Check the name on your water bill. The Las Vegas Valley Water District serves about 1.5 million people in the valley and rates its water very hard, at 17 grains per gallon. Scale from hard water wears on water heaters and valves.
Permits for repairs
Drying and drywall work usually starts right away. Plumbing, electrical and structural repairs can need a permit from Clark County Building and Fire Prevention, 4701 West Russell Road. This area is unincorporated, so county permits apply even though the mailing address says Las Vegas. The county site has a Which Jurisdiction Am I In tool if you are not sure.
