About Sunrise Manor
Sunrise Manor was formed in 1957 when the county stepped in ahead of an annexation by North Las Vegas. It held 205,618 people and 71,615 housing units at the 2020 census across about 33 square miles of the east valley, at the base of Frenchman Mountain.
With that many homes built over that many years, the leaks vary. Older homes can carry original supply lines and fixtures, and homes from about 1978 to 1995 may have polybutylene pipe.
The water damage we see most in Sunrise Manor
- Polybutylene and older supply line failures
- Water heater leaks in garages and closets
- Landlord and tenant questions about who calls and who pays
- Monsoon runoff off the mountain side of the valley
Weather numbers that matter in Sunrise Manor
| 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 Sunrise Manor
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.
