(888) 558-4812 Describe the water problem to dispatchWhy water behaves differently in Midvale
Midvale sits in the middle of the Salt Lake Valley, with the Jordan River as its western border and Little Cottonwood Creek crossing the city on its way to the river. Permanent homes went up as early as the 1850s, the population grew in the 1870s with the railroad and the Bingham Canyon mines, and the city incorporated in 1909.
That history shows in the housing. Historic Main Street runs through the old downtown, Fort Union brought an established housing population when it was annexed, and newer apartments and offices rose at Bingham Junction on the west side. Most single-family homes here have basements, so the walkthrough checks the lower level, the window wells and the floor drain, not only the room where water first showed up.
What gets handled
Water and sewage only: basement flooding, window well flooding, sewer backups, water heater failures, burst and frozen pipes, cloudburst runoff, roof leaks and ice dams, appliance leaks, structural drying and commercial losses. How calls are handled is explained on the disclaimer page.
How every water loss is worked, start to finish
The same order applies to almost every job, from a washer hose to a basement with water across the carpet.
- 1
Map the moisture
The walkthrough tech maps moisture with pinless meters and thermal imaging before any equipment goes down, then sets the category and class of the loss.
- 2
Extract
The extraction crew pulls standing water with truck-mounted units, so it leaves the house instead of soaking deeper into pad, bottom plates and the basement slab.
- 3
Dry the structure
The drying team sizes air movers to each room and runs LGR dehumidifiers, or desiccants for dense Class 4 materials like concrete and hardwood.
- 4
Verify dry
Equipment comes out when wet materials read within 2 to 4 points of a dry reference in the same home, with every daily reading logged for the claim file.
What each dry-out is held to
- IICRC S500 drying standard
- Truck-mounted extraction
- Daily moisture readings
- Structural drying, not just surfaces
