Original supply lines and aging water heaters from that era are a common source of the slow leaks that lead to mold. The valley's very hard water, about 16 to 17 grains per gallon per the Las Vegas Valley Water District, adds mineral scale on top of the housing's age here, one more reason older fittings and water heaters tend to fail sooner rather than later. Only about 46 percent of housing here is owner-occupied, and single-family homes sit alongside a real share of condos built around the private lakes, so we regularly work with condo associations and building management in addition to individual homeowners. Waterfront and near-water units also see more humidity exposure day to day, which can make a small leak turn into mold a little faster. Those figures describe ZIP code 89117, which includes The Lakes, rather than the community by itself. We treat any water intrusion here as a mold risk given the age of the housing, and move to identify the source and contain the area quickly, coordinating with a condo association where a shared structure is involved. From there it is the standard S520 process: HEPA air scrubbing, organic treatment, and a documented final moisture check. ### The Lakes homes 25,494 housing units 82% built before 2000 1990–1999 top decade built 46% owner-occupied U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2023 5-year ### ZIP codes 89117, 89128 [(702) 213-9556](tel:+17022139556) [Text a photo](sms:+17022139556) Process ## How we handle it in The Lakes - ### Inspection and moisture source ID We inspect the affected area and identify the moisture source, since remediation without fixing the source only means the mold comes back. - ### Testing if needed When testing is appropriate, we assess visible growth and hidden moisture with meters and, where needed, sampling, so the scope of the job is based on what is actually there. - ### Containment We seal off the work area with plastic sheeting and negative air pressure so mold spores are not carried into the rest of the home during removal, following IICRC S520 practices. - ### HEPA air scrubbing HEPA air scrubbers run throughout the job to filter spores out of the air in and around the containment area. - ### Removal and treatment Affected materials that cannot be cleaned, such as porous drywall or insulation, are removed and bagged for disposal. Surfaces that can be treated are cleaned with organic antimicrobial products. - ### Drying Once the mold is addressed, we dry the area fully with air movers and dehumidifiers so the moisture that caused the problem does not allow it to return. - ### Post-remediation verification We do a final visual and moisture check of the area before we consider the job complete, and document the work for your records or your insurance company.

Yes, ZIP codes 89117 and 89128 are both in our regular service area. We take calls around the clock and start with a free inspection. ### Do condos near The Lakes' private lakes have more mold risk? Being near water can mean slightly more day-to-day humidity, which is one more factor alongside the area's older housing stock, but the leading cause of mold here is still usually a specific leak rather than the lake itself. ### Do you work with condo associations in The Lakes? Yes. A meaningful share of housing here is condos, and we coordinate with the condo association or building management on shared systems and common areas in addition to working with individual owners.
