Las Vegas is dry most of the year, but monsoon storms can deliver intense rain and wind in a short period. Water can enter through roof defects, flashing, windows, doors, drainage points, or low areas around the property.
Roof and flashing leaks
Wind-driven rain can enter around damaged tiles, flashing, penetrations, and roof transitions. Ceiling staining may appear after the storm passes.
Exterior wall intrusion
Cracks, failed sealant, stucco openings, and window or door transitions can allow water into wall cavities.
Drainage and runoff
Heavy rain can overwhelm yard drainage and move water toward doors, garages, patios, and low foundation areas.
What to check after a storm
- Ceilings and upper walls
- Window and door corners
- Baseboards on exterior walls
- Garage and patio transitions
- Flooring near exterior openings
Drying matters after the rain stops
Once the source is repaired, hidden moisture should still be checked. A dry surface does not guarantee the wall or ceiling cavity is dry.
