First steps

What to do while the water is still moving

Small, safe actions protect people and belongings until the crew takes over, starting at the source.

  1. Stop the source

    Close the main shutoff for a pipe or tank leak. For a drain backup, stop all water use.

  2. Mind the electricity

    Stay out of water near outlets or a panel. Switch off breakers only while standing on dry ground.

  3. Photograph everything

    Take wide and close photos of each wet room, the source and damaged belongings before anything is moved.

  4. Lift what is safe

    Move rugs, boxes and small furniture onto dry surfaces. Leave heavy pieces and wet carpet for the crew.

  5. Call the crew

    Give the address, the source and what is wet. The crew builds the plan from those details.

How it works

One crew from first call to final reading

The crew pulls the water, opens the walls, sets the equipment and writes down every reading.

Rapid local response

Dispatch runs around the clock, so a Saturday pipe burst and a midnight backup both reach a crew.

Equipment sized to fit

Large basements get truck-mounted extraction; a single wet bathroom gets compact pumps and a few air movers.

Claim-ready documentation

Photos, moisture logs and equipment records are kept for the adjuster as the job moves along.

Local water know-how

Groundwater near the Jordan River, storm runoff and the sewer district's split of duties all shape the plan.

Where it starts

Six places water starts in a house

Losses begin at one of six spots, each linked to a page.

Drawing of a two-story house with basement, marking bath, eaves, hose bib, water heater, window well, floor drain. 1 2 3 4 5 6
  1. Ceiling below the bath

    A weeping tub seal or supply fitting can show up first as a ceiling stain.

  2. Eaves and roof edge

    Meltwater backing up under shingles can soak attic insulation and drip through the ceiling.

  3. Hose bib on the wall

    A hose left on through winter can freeze the bib and leak inside the wall.

  4. Basement water heater

    A corroded tank or failed fitting can send water across the floor and into the walls.

  5. Window well

    When rain outruns the well's drain, water rises against the glass and seeps inside.

  6. Basement floor drain

    A gurgling floor drain during heavy water use points to a blockage downstream.

Drying by the numbers

Water damage dried to the IICRC S500 standard

Drying follows the industry standard: map the moisture, remove what cannot dry, then run equipment until readings match a dry reference.

Wet areas mapped first LGR dehumidifiers Logged every day
  1. Map the moisture

    Meters and an infrared camera trace where water traveled behind baseboards and under cabinets, not just where it shows.

  2. Pull the water

    Truck-mounted units lift standing water first, since removing liquid beats waiting for it to evaporate.

  3. Open what stays wet

    Wet pad, baseboard and lower drywall come out where drying in place would leave moisture trapped.

  4. Dry, then verify

    Dehumidifiers and air movers run until each material matches its dry reference and the log shows it.

The drying goal

The target is the moisture reading of the same material in a dry part of the house. Drying that drags past 24 to 48 hours gives mold a chance to start.

Gear that goes on every job

  • Truck-mount extractors
  • LGR dryers
  • Pin and pinless meters
  • Floor air movers
  • Infrared cameras
  • Wall cavity dryers
  • HEPA scrubbers
Basements and pipes

Frozen pipes and flooded window wells: two ways water finds a basement

Both start outside the living space and are easy to miss until the damage is done.

Frozen pipes and hose bibs

  • The City says an eighth-inch crack in a pipe can release up to 250 gallons of water a day.
  • The City's advice is to insulate pipes in crawl spaces, garages, unfinished basements and attics.
  • Disconnect garden hoses from outdoor bibs before the first hard freeze.

Window wells that overflow into the basement

  • Aim downspouts away from the house and wells.
  • Slope landscaping away from the home and window wells, which is part of the City's flood advice.
  • Clear leaves and weeds from the well and nearby storm drain inlets.

Water categories

All water damage categories covered in South Jordan, UT

How dirty the water is decides how the cleanup goes.

Category 1, clean source

Supply water that has not touched anything dirty, so most materials can still be dried.

Burst pipe cleanup

Category 2, used water

Drain water from a washer or dishwasher, or clean water left standing until it turned.

Appliance leak cleanup

Category 3, sewage or flood

Sewage and floodwater: porous materials are removed and the area is cleaned and treated.

Sewage backup cleanup
Typical cost

What water damage cleanup costs in South Jordan, UT

Cost follows how much is wet, how long it sat and what the water carried. A small clean-water leak can stay near the low end, while sewage or floodwater reaches the high end because more material must be removed.

One room, clean water

  • Pump-out and extraction
  • Soaked pad lifted out
  • Moisture checked each day
$1,100 to $3,200

Several rooms or a basement

  • Flood cuts where walls wicked
  • Equipment across several rooms
  • Daily records for the claim
$3,500 to $11,000

Sewage or floodwater

  • Category 3 handling
  • Porous materials removed
  • Antimicrobial treatment and clearance
$9,000 to $25,000+

Final numbers depend on what opening the wet walls and floor reveals, so a first estimate stays a range.

Insurance

Documentation for your insurance claim

Adjusters work from evidence, so the crew builds the file while the work is happening instead of afterward.

  • Dated photos of each wet room and the source
  • Moisture readings recorded at every visit
  • Equipment placement and daily run logs
  • An inventory of damaged belongings
  • Receipts for emergency repairs and cleanup

Check flood and backup coverage

Flood damage and sewer backup are often covered separately, or not at all.

The City cites a national figure that policyholders outside high-risk areas filed over 40 percent of National Flood Insurance Program claims from 2014 to 2018.

Local risk profile

The water risks that shape work here

The City rates much of its area at low flood risk, yet says low risk is not no risk and flooding can happen to anyone. Leaks indoors need no storm at all.

  • In March 2024, KUTV reported groundwater filling a sump well beside the Jordan River in a neighborhood of the city.
  • Flash flooding on September 14, 2013 left 11 homes in the Sunstone subdivision with several inches of basement water.
  • On January 1, 2023, snow reached 10 inches across the city and 12 inches in Daybreak.
  • Jordan Basin Improvement District covers only its own main, not a home's pipe or connection to it.
Questions

Local water damage questions

Does the city have mapped flood areas?

Yes. FEMA mapped Special Flood Hazard Areas along the Jordan River, Midas Creek, Bingham Creek, Dry Creek and Willow Creek, though the City says much of it is low risk. Flooding can still reach homes outside those areas.

Is a sewage backup the sewer district's problem?

Only when the blockage sits inside the district's own main. Jordan Basin Improvement District says it is responsible for its own property, not a home's pipe or connection to it.

What does basement flood cleanup cost here?

A single clean-water room often runs $1,100 to $3,200, several rooms or a basement $3,500 to $11,000, and sewage or floodwater $9,000 to $25,000+. The walls and floor decide where a job lands.

Does homeowners insurance pay for sewer backup?

Often not by default. Jordan Basin Improvement District notes that water and sewer backup is excluded from a standard policy, and flood is usually a separate policy, so the insurer settles what applies.

How long does drying take?

Drying ends when readings match the dry reference, not on a set date. A small leak can finish in a few days, while a wet finished basement runs longer.

What should be photographed before cleanup starts?

Wide shots of every wet room, close shots of the source and damaged belongings, and stain heights on the walls, all taken before anything is moved, since adjusters compare them with later readings.

Can the crew work in apartments and offices too?

Yes. Commercial jobs run in phases around tenants, whether the loss is one suite, a clinic or an apartment building, and the paperwork is kept for each unit.

Is groundwater a concern near the Jordan River?

The City says neighborhoods along 1300 West and close to the river may see high groundwater after winter precipitation, and owners there are asked to check their sump pumps.

What about a water main break in the street?

The utility handles a public main; the crew starts inside the property. In July 2026, ABC4 reported lane closures on Daybreak Parkway after a Daybreak main break. Should water reach a house or shop, cleanup begins there.

Day or night

Water in a home or shop?

Dispatch is open around the clock for basements, pipes, backups and storm runoff, and every job ends with readings and photos for the file.
