Condo Water Damage Restoration in Las Vegas, NV
If a leak has damaged your condo, get the water shut off at whichever unit it's coming from, photograph everything, tell your association in writing and call us. We dry both sides of the shared walls and ceilings, rebuild what had to come out, and keep one set of records your neighbor's carrier, your HOA and your own insurer can all work from.
Condo leaks rarely stay in the unit where they started. Water from two floors up can be a stain on your ceiling by Thursday, and by then it involves you, the owner upstairs, and the property manager or association. Sometimes there's an insurer behind each of them. Call 888-453-3591 whether the leak started upstairs or in your own unit. Someone picks up after hours and on holidays too.

When the leak comes from the unit upstairs
Most Las Vegas Valley condo owners could sketch this pattern from memory. A stain shows up on the ceiling. You knock on the door upstairs, and the neighbor is apologetic, sometimes even offers to cover it outright. Then estimates come in, and the offer gets quieter. An adjuster or the association steps in, and a hallway promise turns into paperwork. It doesn't always go that way. It happens often enough that we plan for it.
None of that changes what helps right now. Get the water stopped, yours or theirs, whichever valve it is. Photograph the ceiling, the stain's edges, and anything underneath it before you touch it. Put your association on notice in writing, even if you've already called or texted someone. A paper trail is worth more later than it costs to write now. Whatever the association or either carrier eventually decides, confirm it directly with them, not from what got said in the hallway. If the water is coming down through your ceiling rather than up through your floor, our ceiling water damage repair page covers that half of the job in more detail.
How much does it cost? Will insurance pay?
Water mitigation in the Las Vegas Valley usually costs $1,500 to $4,800. That covers getting the water out, drying the structure and checking it with moisture meters until the readings are back to normal. If drywall, baseboards or flooring had to come out, the repairs are a separate estimate, so you see each part on its own.
In a condo, the price depends on how many units the water reached and whether we're drying one side of a shared wall or ceiling or both. A drip that stayed in your bathroom ceiling is a small dry-out. A leak that ran down through two units means equipment in each one and a rebuild on both sides. Getting access to the neighbor's unit through the association can also stretch the schedule.

Insurance or self-pay, you decide
Insurance usually pays when the water came on suddenly, like a supply line that split overnight. A leak that dripped for months usually isn't covered. Your carrier makes that call, not us.
We handle the record: photos, moisture readings and a line-item estimate built in Xactimate, the same software most adjusters use. Then you compare it with your deductible and decide whether to file.
A condo loss can involve two policies: the association's master policy and your own HO-6. Which one pays for what is covered below. We give the same readings and photos to each carrier involved.
Paying yourself? Ask about the self-pay discount. The estimate is free, and you see the price before we start.

Who insures what in a Nevada condo
Two policies usually sit behind a condo water loss, and they cover different things. The association carries a master property policy on the building; the unit owner typically carries an HO-6 policy. The Nevada Division of Insurance describes the HO-6 as covering "a unit-owner who insures his/her property...to cover any items not insured by the association's policy," including personal belongings and the finishes on the walls and floors (and ceilings) inside the unit. The NAIC describes the same form nationally: it "insures your personal property and your walls, floors and ceilings."
Nevada law adds a wrinkle specific to attached buildings. Under NRS 116.3113(2), an association's property insurance in a building with units divided by shared floors or walls generally must include the units themselves, "to the extent reasonably available," though it doesn't have to cover improvements or betterments an owner installed. Under NRS 116.31133, the association's policy is primary over an individual owner's policy when both apply, and the association's insurer waives its right to pursue a unit owner for the loss.
None of that tells you what your specific loss will cost you or who pays which deductible. That depends on your association's governing documents and the actual policy language, not a statewide rule.
This is general information, not legal or insurance advice.
Check your coverage and your deductible with your carrier and your association before you decide what to do next.
Drying a building you share
A condo unit isn't a sealed box. Water that lands in one unit moves through shared plumbing chases, common framing, and interlocking floor assemblies before it stops. That's why damage often shows up somewhere other than where the leak happened. Chasing that path sometimes means we need access to a neighboring unit that never got wet on the surface, and getting that access usually runs through whoever manages the building, not just the two units involved.
Drying has to follow where the water actually went. If a shared wall or floor cavity is wet on both sides, we run equipment in both units at once. Both sides matter. Reconstruction can't start on one side while the other is still drying, because the moisture can move back into the finished side. We follow ANSI/IICRC S500, the standard the restoration industry works from, on every step of the job. Every reading gets logged so it can go to more than one insurer if more than one policy is involved. Our structural drying and moisture mapping pages cover how that equipment and measurement work in more depth.
If you can't stay in the unit
Sometimes you can stay in the unit while it dries. Some condo losses are manageable with the water shut off and drying equipment running around you. Others aren't. A saturated ceiling over a bedroom, or a unit that needs equipment running in every room, isn't something you live alongside for a week.
When a unit needs to be cleared out, we pack contents at the box level, with each item inventoried before it leaves (furniture, electronics, whatever was in the closets and cabinets), so what comes back matches what went out. Our contents pack-out and restoration service covers that piece end to end.
78,000 condos, one phone number
Clark County counted 78,273 condominium units in its 2023 housing estimate: 19,722 of them in the City of Las Vegas, 8,078 in Henderson, and another 15,050 in Paradise alone. That's a lot of shared walls, shared risers, and shared roofs across the valley. A leak in any one of them can involve more than one unit before it's over.
This page is written for the individual owner dealing with a leak in their own condo. If you're a property manager or an association handling water damage across an entire building (common areas, multiple units, or a structure-wide claim), our commercial water damage restoration service covers that scope instead. For everything else we handle beyond condos, see our Water Damage Restoration in Henderson, NV hub.

A condo leak involves more people than a single-family leak does. We handle the drying and removal, the rebuild, and the paperwork each of those people will ask for. Call 888-453-3591 any day of the year, after hours included.
Call 888-453-3591Condo water damage questions
If your situation does not fit neatly into one answer, call 888-453-3591 and describe what you see.
Q1 My upstairs neighbor's leak damaged my ceiling. Who pays?
It depends on more than fault. It depends on where the water crossed a boundary Nevada law treats differently (common elements versus a unit's own systems), what your association's master policy form covers, and what your own HO-6 policy backs up. We don't make that determination. Your carrier, your association, and the policy language do. Document everything, and confirm coverage with your carrier and your association before assuming who's responsible.
Q2 Should I file my own claim even if it wasn't my fault?
That's a decision for you and your insurance agent, not something we can advise on. What we can tell you is what tends to happen in practice: each damaged owner often files with their own HO-6 carrier while the association brings in the master policy for anything involving common elements or original construction. Confirm the right approach for your situation with your carrier and your association.
Q3 Does the HOA master policy cover inside my unit?
Sometimes, partly. Nevada law generally requires an association's property insurance in a shared-wall or shared-floor building to include the units themselves, "to the extent reasonably available," though it doesn't have to cover improvements an owner added. Some master policies stop at the bare structure. Others go further. Which kind your building has is in your CC&Rs and your policy declarations, not something a statute settles by itself. Confirm your specific coverage with your carrier and your association.
Q4 How do you dry a wall or floor we share with another unit?
The same way we'd dry any wet assembly, just on both sides of it. We map the moisture on both sides, run equipment in each affected unit at the same time, and keep drying until both sides read dry. Rebuilding before that point traps moisture in the assembly instead of fixing it. Getting into the neighboring unit usually means coordinating access through your property manager or association.
Q5 What if the association takes over the claim?
It happens, especially when common elements or the building's original construction are involved instead of just the contents inside one unit. If that happens on your loss, we keep working the physical restoration and documenting it the same way, regardless of which party is coordinating the claim. Confirm who's handling what with your association and your own carrier so nothing falls through the gap between the two.
