Water Damage Restoration

Sandy Water Damage Restoration handles water damage restoration for homes across Sandy, UT, from the first call through extraction, drying, cleanup and the repairs that put the house back the way it was. A burst pipe, a failed water heater, a washing machine hose, a slow leak behind a shower wall or a basement that took on water after a storm all end up in the same place: wet building materials that need to come out or dry out before they rot or grow mold. We answer around the clock, can be on site in Sandy within 24 hours and often much sooner, and the estimate is free.

What water damage restoration in Sandy covers

Restoration is the whole job, not one part of it. It starts with finding where the water came from and making sure it has stopped, then removing standing water, then drying the structure with air movers and dehumidifiers until moisture readings return to normal. After that comes the cleanup: pulling and disposing of carpet pad, drywall, insulation or cabinetry that cannot be saved, cleaning and sanitising what can be, and treating the area so odour and mold do not follow. The last stage is water damage repair, replacing what was removed and finishing it to match the rest of the room.

We work in Sandy and the towns around it in Salt Lake County, including White City, Cottonwood Heights, Midvale, Murray and Holladay, as well as Draper, Riverton, South Jordan, West Jordan, Taylorsville, Millcreek and Alpine.

What sets the cost of a water damage job

Three things drive the estimate more than anything else. The first is how much water there was and how far it travelled; a kitchen leak caught the same day is a different job from a basement that sat wet for a week. The second is the category of water. Clean supply-line water is the simplest to deal with, while water that has been through a dishwasher or sat long enough to turn grey, or anything involving sewage, requires more removal of porous materials and more sanitising. The third is what the water touched: hardwood, finished drywall, built-in cabinets and insulation each change how much has to come out and how much can be dried in place. We walk through all of this with you on site before any work starts.

From the first call to the last moisture reading

On arrival we photograph and document everything, which your insurer will want, then shut off the source if it is still running. Extraction comes next, followed by moisture mapping with meters and, where needed, thermal imaging to find water that has moved under flooring or behind walls. Drying equipment goes in and stays until the readings say the structure is dry, which for most homes takes three to five days. We check it daily and adjust equipment as the materials release moisture. Nothing gets closed up while it is still wet.

Repairs that hold up after the drying is done

A water damage restoration company that only dries and leaves hands you a second project. We finish the work: new drywall and paint, new pad and reinstalled or replaced carpet, trim and baseboard, and subfloor or framing where it was compromised. The goal is a room that nobody can tell was ever wet, and a house that does not smell damp a month later. If you are anywhere in Sandy or the surrounding valley and need water restoration, call and we will tell you what to do in the next hour and when we can be there.
