The Historic West Side has 1800s and early-1900s homes with aging plumbing and old foundations. East Carson and Eagle Valley have mostly 1970s–2000s homes. Many Historic West Side homes date to the Comstock era, with old foundations, plaster walls and aging plumbing. Newer homes in East Carson and Eagle Valley usually sit on slabs or crawlspaces, and pipes in exterior walls and garages freeze during cold desert nights.

Fire & Smoke Damage questions

Do I need a permit for repairs in Carson City?

Cleanup and drying don't. Structural, plumbing and electrical repairs need permits from the Carson City Building Division.

How do I prevent frozen pipes in Carson City?

Insulate pipes in exterior walls and crawlspaces, keep the heat steady, and drip faucets during deep cold.

Can I clean soot myself?

Light dry soot in a small area sometimes can be, but wiping often smears it deeper. Larger areas, oily soot and anything involving odor are best left to professionals with the right cleaning methods.

Does homeowners insurance cover smoke damage from a wildfire?

Usually yes, even if the fire didn't reach your home. Document the damage, including ash and odor, and report it to your insurer quickly.
