How to Safeguard Your Home While You're Away
Being away from home during a desert downpour or monsoon flood can be nerve-wracking. Sudden, heavy rains—especially between July and September—can cause flash flooding, roof leaks, and even foundation issues in vulnerable areas of Las Vegas.
To protect your home while you’re out of town:
- Install smart water sensors in basements, kitchens, or near water heaters.
- Ensure rain gutters and downspouts are clear before leaving.
- Ask a trusted person—or your home concierge—to inspect your home during major weather alerts.
- Shut off the main water line if gone for extended periods-if plants will survive without the irrigation.
- Use security cameras or monitoring systems to remotely check for visible issues.
Prevention is everything. Remote tools and reliable local support can mean the difference between a minor inconvenience and a major disaster.
