About Spring Valley
Spring Valley is an unincorporated town formed in 1981. It held 215,597 people in 2020 and covers about 33.4 square miles, bounded roughly by Sahara Avenue on the north, Decatur Boulevard on the east, Warm Springs Road on the south and Hualapai Way on the west. Desert Breeze Park sits in the north central part of town.
The north end has rural estate zoning with large lots. The south end developed much more recently. That spread means we see both older custom homes with long plumbing runs and newer tract homes with second story laundry and attic air handlers.
The water damage we see most in Spring Valley
- Long plumbing runs and older fixtures in north side estate homes
- Second floor laundry leaks in newer homes
- Garage water heater failures
- Monsoon storm water at low thresholds
Weather numbers that matter in Spring Valley
| 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 Spring Valley
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.
