What causes water damage in Reno
Mixed-age plumbing
Reno's housing spans many decades, so leaks come from both ends: corroded original pipes in older homes and failed supply lines and appliances in newer ones.
Apartments and shared walls
Renters occupy about 51% of Reno's homes. In multi-unit buildings, water from one unit travels through floors and shared walls, so report leaks to the landlord or association in writing right away.
Hard water
Mineral buildup causes leaks in supply lines and water heaters.
Seasonal risks, licensing and FEMA history across the state are on the Nevada page.
