Signs You Need Commercial Leak Detection in Las Vegas, NV
Most commercial leaks reach the manager secondhand.
The common-area meter will not sit still
With common-area fixtures and irrigation off, a moving triangle means that meter is losing water.
An owner forwards an LVVWD notice
Three or more days of nonstop flow on the account. The notice date frames when the loss began.
Wet turf on a non-watering day
LVVWD bans Sunday sprinkler watering, so a soggy common area on Sunday points away from the timer.

What managers and boards get from our commercial leak detection company.

LVVWD Programs by Property Type in Las Vegas, NV
Terms as LVVWD publishes them.
| Program | Who it is for | What it means for managers |
|---|---|---|
| Leak Adjustment | Account holders with use up 50 percent or more, repair within 60 days of the billing date, application within 90 days | The account holder applies, so keep invoices dated |
| Leak Repair Reimbursement | Single-family residential property owners only; tenants are excluded | Do not budget on it for multifamily or commercial; a single-family rental owner may qualify |
| Continuous-flow notice | Account holders after at least 3 days of continuous flow | It goes to the account holder, often the owner; see our continuous flow alert guide |
Commercial Leak Detection Cost Factors in Las Vegas, NV
Four factors change the scope most.
Units or floors needing entry
Each occupied unit that needs entry adds a notice, a door and a fixture run to the sequence.
Shut-off windows
When shut-offs can close sets the schedule; a restaurant kitchen and a dental suite rarely share quiet hours.
Meters and zones
Several meters and irrigation zones mean more isolation work before the losing zone is clear.
Mechanical rooms and ceiling spaces
Locked mechanical rooms, roofs and ceiling space above occupied suites need keys or an escort arranged first.
Las Vegas, NV Buildings and Rental Housing
Three figures that shape rental and multifamily leak calls in Las Vegas, NV.
A large rented share
Census ACS counts 136,185 owner-occupied homes of 244,429 occupied in the city. The rest are rented, and tenants are often the first to see a leak.
A 1994 city median
Census ACS gives 1994 as the Las Vegas, NV median year built, so many risers and valves have years of service behind them.
Hard water on shared fixtures
KTNV, quoting LVVWD, reports valley hardness at 278 parts per million. Scale on flush valves and fill valves in busy restrooms commonly keeps them from sealing.

Planning Access Around Tenants in Las Vegas, NV
Each visit is planned with the manager in five steps.
Scope the report
Who saw water, where and when, plus every unit or suite that might be involved.
Plan the notices
Which units need entry, and which shut-offs may close during testing.
Sequence top-down
Start above the affected unit and run fixtures unit by unit until the source shows.
Isolate shared lines
Risers, mains and common-area meters are separated from unit plumbing.
Hand over the findings
The located source and everything ruled out go to the manager for the owner or board.
HOA Common-Area and Irrigation Leaks in Las Vegas, NV
Common areas often run on their own meter, so irrigation is ruled in or out first.
Use the watering calendar as a test
LVVWD allows sprinklers 6 days a week May to August, 3 in spring and fall, 1 in winter, never on Sunday. Meter movement on a non-watering day points away from the timers.
Split the common-area meter
With the downstream valve closed, LVVWD's triangle check shows which side of it is losing water.
Backflow assemblies and drip lines
Frequent common-area leak points. We locate the leak; irrigation repair goes to the HOA's own vendor.
After the Leak Is Found in Las Vegas, NV: Owners, Boards and Vendors
NRS 624.700 makes unlicensed contracting unlawful, so check vendors on the NSCB License Search.
| Who | What they usually need |
|---|---|
| Owner or board | The located source and what was ruled out, to approve the repair |
| Repair vendor | The marked location, so they open one spot |
| Restoration company | Where the water started; we do not offer drying |
| LVVWD account holder | A dated repair invoice that fits the Leak Adjustment windows |

FAQs About Commercial Leak Detection in Las Vegas, NV
Does the LVVWD leak adjustment apply to commercial and HOA accounts?
LVVWD lists conditions for account holders, including use up at least 50 percent and repair within 60 days of the billing date. Confirm eligibility with LVVWD.
Can an apartment building get LVVWD's leak repair reimbursement?
LVVWD lists the Leak Repair Reimbursement for single-family residential property owners and excludes tenants, so multifamily and commercial properties should not budget on it.
Can you find which unit a leak is coming from?
Usually, yes. Fixtures are run one unit at a time, starting above, until the source shows.
Do you work in occupied Las Vegas units and businesses?
Yes. Access and shut-offs are planned with the manager first, so tenants and staff know which doors are involved.
Is there commercial leak detection near me in Las Vegas at night?
Yes. Managers can call any time, nights and weekends included, from anywhere in Las Vegas, NV. In an emergency, close the unit or riser shut-off first; testing occupied units still waits for agreed access.
Do you repair the leak after you find it?
No. The owner or board chooses a licensed vendor, who can be checked on the Nevada State Contractors Board License Search.
