Too Few Drops, Dropped at the Wall
Builder systems up here often shorted the downspouts and dumped them at the foundation. On flat ground that pools a flash-flood surge against the slab; proper placement and extensions fix it.
On the flat north-valley floor, where the downspout lets out decides whether a flash-flood dump runs to the street or pools against a slab — and undersized builder downspouts often make it worse. We resize, place, and extend them properly, and add aluminum or copper leaderheads that boost the catch.
Downspouts are where North Las Vegas builder systems most often fall short. The original installs frequently used too few drops, or dropped them right at the wall to save labor, which on the flat north-valley floor means a monsoon dump pools against the foundation instead of running off to the street. Fixing the downspout layout is often a bigger improvement than anything done to the trough itself.
A leaderhead keeps a flash-flood surge from backing up at the outlet — the funnel where the trough meets the downspout, sized so a sudden dump goes down the spout instead of over the front. It is also the most visible piece of the system, and copper leaderheads are a nice upgrade on the higher-end homes in the newer master plans.
We size the count and placement to your roof, run extensions well past the dripline so the water reaches the street drainage, and fix the drops the builder shorted. New system or retrofit onto a builder run, it begins with a free assessment first.

A long run hands the downspout a flash-flood surge faster than a bare hole can take. A leaderhead widens the catch so it goes down the spout, not over the edge.
Concentrated discharge with no extension carves through the rock and beds of a master-plan yard every monsoon. Proper routing protects the landscaping and the slab.
Downspouts are where North Las Vegas builder systems most often fall short, and the fix is usually as much about adding drops as routing them. The original installs frequently used too few and dropped them at the wall, so on the flat north-valley floor a flash-flood dump pools against the slab. We add the drops the builder shorted and extend them well past the dripline to the street drainage.
Leaderheads come in two finishes. Color-matched .032 aluminum adds catch capacity and blends into the run, and a copper hopper is a nice upgrade on the higher-end homes in the newer master plans. Both widen the catch at the outlet so a flash-flood surge goes down the spout instead of over the front edge.

Ryan did a very nice job. Very professional. Very clean. Didn't leave a mess. Ryan was able to make a modification — I asked him to do the job with only two downspouts instead of three and he pulled it off magnificently! I would definitely recommend Southwest Seamless Rain Gutters to anybody. Everybody please help me. Pray for rain now.
Great from start to finish! We made appointments with Southwest and also another gutter company; Ryan from Southwest was able to come see us right away, we showed him the issues we were having with roof drainage, he came up with perfect solutions, and an instant quote, and we went with him immediately. Poor other guy never got a chance! The time to get the work done was out about 6 weeks which shows how busy they are due to the quality of the work. I couldn't believe how closely the gutters matched the house trim, and the downspouts matched the house paint, two different colors. It was raining the day the work was to be done but rather than call, Ryan came in person to let us know he would rather do it the next day when no rain was predicted so his adhesive would set properly. Better to do it correctly than quickly! He came back as promised and now it's done and looks perfect. Waiting for more rain to see how it performs but I have no doubt it will resolve our issues. Ryan is that guy that looks you right in the eye when he talks to you and shakes your hand when he's all done. Quote was reasonable and we are happy.
This is a second review. The heat, sun and dry air may have been a part to the minor issue I had. During a monsoon rain storm this season, I noticed some leaking at a couple joints at corners. I requested an appointment through the Web for possible repair. Within a day I was contacted by the office with a day and time. Ryan came as scheduled. He remembered the installation from a year ago. I showed him where the leaks were and he repaired the joints. I told him this was minor and didn't expect a repair. He told me he stands by installation work and will fix issues that may come up. He wants past and current customers to be happy. I am glad I found a business that takes pride in their work.
