Water Damage Restoration – Salt Lake City, UT
Water damage is one of the most frequent causes of property loss in Salt Lake City, UT, and it can escalate quickly if not addressed. Whether it’s due to seasonal snowmelt, heavy rain, burst pipes, leaking appliances, or a sewage backup, excess water can seep deep into building materials like drywall, wood, and insulation. This not only weakens structural integrity but also creates the perfect environment for mold growth, often within 24 to 48 hours. At RestorationMaster, our IICRC-certified technicians bring years of hands-on experience restoring homes and businesses throughout Salt Lake City, UT, after water damage. We use commercial-grade extraction and drying equipment to remove moisture, prevent further damage, and return your property to its pre-loss condition, all while guiding you through the process with clear communication.
FAQs – Water, Fire, and Mold Damage in Salt Lake City, UT
How quickly should I call after water or fire damage?
Immediately. In cases of water or fire damage, every hour counts. Water can lead to mold growth within 24–48 hours, and smoke damage becomes permanent if not treated promptly. RestorationMaster offers 24/7 emergency response in Salt Lake City, UT, to help minimize loss.
What should I do first after water damage in my home?
Turn off the water source if you can do so safely, shut off electricity to affected areas, and take photos/videos. Move valuables to a dry spot, then call a licensed water damage restoration company and your insurer’s claims line.
What does water damage restoration include?
Water damage restoration involves water extraction, structural drying, dehumidification, and repairs to damaged materials. It also includes mold prevention measures if the moisture has affected walls, flooring, or insulation.
How fast does mold grow after a leak or flood?
Mold can begin in 24–48 hours on wet materials. Quick extraction, dehumidification, and airflow are key to preventing growth.
Is water damage covered by homeowners insurance?
Usually, sudden and accidental events (burst pipe, failed appliance) are covered. Long-term leaks, ground seepage, or outside floodwater typically are not (that needs separate flood insurance). Always check your policy and deductible.
How long does water damage restoration take?
Emergency mitigation is often 1–3 days (extraction, cleanup, drying). Repairs (drywall, flooring, paint) can add several days to a few weeks depending on materials and scheduling.
How much does water damage restoration cost?
Light, one-room clean-water losses may be in the low thousands; multi-room or contaminated water events can be higher. Costs depend on water category, square footage, materials, and how fast work starts.
What’s the difference between mitigation and restoration?
Mitigation: emergency steps to stop damage—extraction, drying, sanitation, stabilizing the structure.
Restoration: putting everything back—repairs, rebuild, finishes.
What are the three categories of flood water (clean, gray, black)?
- Category 1 (clean): supply line, rain through intact roof.
- Category 2 (gray): appliance discharge, sump overflow—some contaminants.
- Category 3 (black): sewage, river/yard floodwater—heavily contaminated; requires specialized PPE and disposal.
Can I stay in my house during drying?
Often yes for clean-water losses confined to small areas. For large losses, sewage, or if you’re sensitive to noise/air movers or have kids, pets, or respiratory issues temporary housing may be safer and more comfortable.
Do I need a plumber or a restoration company first?
If water is still flowing, call a plumber to stop the leak and shut off supply. Then call restoration to extract water and start drying. Many restoration teams can help coordinate both.
How do professionals dry a home?
They use moisture meters, water extraction, targeted demolition (only where necessary), commercial dehumidifiers, and air movers to bring materials back to safe moisture levels, with daily monitoring and documentation for your insurer.
Do wet drywall and insulation have to be removed?
If they’ve been saturated - especially with gray/black water - they’re usually removed to prevent mold and odors. For minor, clean-water wicking, “flood cuts” at 12–24 inches may be enough
What should I document for my insurance claim?
Date/time of loss, cause, photos/videos (before cleanup), a list of damaged items with rough values, and any emergency invoices. Keep receipts for lodging and other extra expenses if your policy includes loss-of-use.
Why is water damage common in Salt Lake City homes?
Locally, we see frozen/burst pipes in cold snaps, snowmelt in late winter/early spring, monsoon thunderstorms and gutter backups in late summer, and evaporative cooler (“swamp cooler”) leaks on roofs/attics.
How do I prevent frozen pipes in winter?
Insulate exposed lines, keep indoor temps above 55°F, open sink cabinets on exterior walls, let a slow drip run during Arctic blasts, and disconnect/insulate hose bibs.
What’s the best way to handle a flooded basement in SLC?
First ensure electrical safety, then pump/extract gradually if water is deep (too fast can stress walls). Remove wet contents, pull baseboards, and dry slab/walls with dehumidifiers. Address sources like gutter downspouts, grading, and sump performance.
What’s the health risk from sewage or river water?
Category 3 water can contain pathogens and chemicals. Avoid contact, don’t run your HVAC (it can spread contaminants), and call professionals for proper extraction, disinfection, and disposal.
Do I need mold testing after a water loss?
Not always. If the area was dried promptly and there’s no musty odor or visible growth, testing may be unnecessary. If the loss was undiscovered for days, involved contaminated water, or you have health concerns, talk to your restorer about an indoor environmental professional.
What should I do immediately after a fire in my home?
Once the fire department deems your property safe to enter, contact a licensed restoration company. Smoke and soot can continue to damage surfaces, so timely cleanup is essential. RestorationMaster’s fire damage restoration team in Salt Lake City responds 24/7 to help secure and restore your home.
Fire Damage Restoration – Salt Lake City, UT

Mold Remediation – Salt Lake City, UT
Mold is more than an eyesore; it poses serious risks to both your property and your health. In Salt Lake City, UT, mold often develops after water damage, thriving in damp areas like basements, bathrooms, and behind walls.

Prolonged exposure can also trigger allergies, respiratory issues, and other health concerns. At RestorationMaster, our certified professionals provide thorough mold remediation services in Salt Lake City, UT, using specialized equipment to detect hidden mold, contain its spread, and safely remove it. We also restore affected areas to ensure your home or business is clean, safe, and mold-free.
