What Usually Causes Water Damage Around Salt Lake City
### Snowmelt and runoff Spring melt off the Wasatch raises groundwater and fills window wells. Basements take the hit. See flooded basement cleanup.
Cold snaps and inversions
Long cold stretches freeze pipes in exterior walls and garages, and they leak when they thaw. See burst pipe water damage.
Older homes
Neighborhoods like the Avenues, Sugar House and Liberty Wells have older plumbing, clay sewer laterals and basements that were finished long after the house was built. See sewage backup cleanup.
Appliances and water heaters
Washer hoses, dishwasher lines, fridge ice makers and water heaters cause a large share of indoor water damage in old and new homes alike. See water damage restoration.

Call (385) 513-0739The First Hour: What To Do
1. Stop the water. Close the main valve. In most Salt Lake Valley homes it is in the basement or utility room where the line enters the house, often near the water heater. Some homes also have a valve in the meter box by the street. 2. Make it safe. Stay out of water near outlets, cords or the panel. Keep people out from under sagging ceilings. 3. Save what matters. Move photos, documents and electronics somewhere dry. Put foil under furniture legs. 4. Document everything. Photos and video before cleanup. Your insurer will ask. 5. Call early. The EPA advises drying wet materials within 24 to 48 hours to prevent mold.
What Affects the Cost?
| Factor | Why it matters | | Water category | Sewage and dirty water need more removal and cleaning | | How far it spread | More rooms and wall cavities mean more equipment | | Time sitting | Water left for days soaks deeper and grows mold | | Materials | Hardwood, plaster and finished basements take longer to dry | | Repairs | Drywall, flooring and cabinets add to the bill |
Ask the company how they price the job, and whether they work with your insurer, before work starts.
