Provo's Premier Water Damage Experts

At Utah Home Restoration, we are committed to protecting homes in Provo, Utah from all types of water damage.

Understanding Water Damage Risks in Provo

While Provo, located on the shore of Utah Lake and at the base of the Wasatch Mountains, is known for its beautiful scenery, the area also faces unique water-related challenges. Its geography and climate make homes susceptible to several distinct types of water damage.

• Lake Proximity: Utah Lake is a large, shallow body of water. During periods of heavy rain or rapid snowmelt, the lake's water level can rise, increasing the local water table and making homes in lower-lying areas more vulnerable to basement and crawlspace flooding.
• Urban and Topographical Factors: Provo's location between the mountains and the lake creates distinct risks. Rapid runoff from the Wasatch Front can overwhelm storm drains and cause flash flooding in city streets, while older homes in established neighborhoods may have aging plumbing and drainage systems that are prone to leaks and backups.
• Common Household Issues: Like any community in Utah, Provo homes are susceptible to everyday water emergencies. These include issues with frozen and burst pipes during cold winters, malfunctioning water heaters, overflowing toilets, and roof leaks.

Protecting Your Provo Home

Taking proactive steps is the best way to reduce your risk of water damage.

• Exterior Maintenance: Keep your gutters and downspouts clear of debris, and make sure they extend at least 10 feet away from your foundation.
• Foundation and Landscaping: Seal any cracks in your foundation and ensure your yard slopes away from your home to direct water away.
• Winterization: Insulate all exposed pipes in attics, crawlspaces, and exterior walls to prevent them from freezing and bursting.
• Be Prepared: Know the location of your main water shut-off valve. Consider installing a sump pump and a backup battery system for homes in lower-lying areas.
• Regular Inspections: A little maintenance goes a long way. Regularly check your water heater, plumbing fixtures, and roof for any signs of leaks or wear.
