Why this call
What is going wrong in a Boulder City house?
Boulder City’s dam-era houses are small masonry and frame buildings close to the original streets. A supply or heater failure fills a small house instead of a wing of a tract. Later houses at the edges are fewer and more like ordinary slabs. The older masonry holds a stain in the wall after the floor is wiped, because the wall itself got wet. There is no high-rise stack and no Strip mechanical room.
- A small dam-era house with more than one room wet.
- Masonry or plaster that is wet inside the wall after the floor was mopped.
- An edge-of-town slab that is warm rather than stained in the wall.
Say dam-era house or later slab, and whether the wall is wet or only the floor. Small Boulder City plans fill quickly. Say if the heater is in a closet next to a bedroom.
The houses
What gets wet in Boulder City?
Boulder City was laid out for the dam and still has small masonry and frame houses from that era, plus later houses at the edges. The older houses are close to the street, with plumbing that is easier to see than a slab leak in a Henderson tract. A failed heater or a supply line wets a small plan quickly. The town is not a stack of two-story production houses.
The water
How does water usually get into a Boulder City house?
Standing water from the plumbing, in a house you own, is the job, in the Clark County window of 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Pacific. Stormwater in the desert streets is outside water. Say if the house is one of the original blocks or a later one.
