Water damage & mold help in Provo, UT

Provo sits between Utah Lake and the Wasatch Mountains, home to Brigham Young University. Cold winters bring frozen pipes and ice dams, and spring snowmelt raises the Provo River and floods basements. In 2023, record snowpack brought high water across Utah County. Thousands of student rentals mean leaks can go unreported.

Provo homes and water damage

Joaquin and Downtown Provo have early-1900s homes with basements, many divided into student rentals. Grandview and Edgemont have mostly 1950s–1990s homes with finished basements. Many Joaquin and downtown homes have been divided into student apartments, with added bathrooms, kitchens and basement units. Basement apartments are especially vulnerable to water heater failures, sump pump failures and snowmelt seepage, which can soak carpet, drywall and belongings quickly.

Frozen pipes

Cold snaps freeze pipes in exterior walls, garages and basements.

Ice dams

Snow and freeze-thaw cycles cause ice dams that push water under shingles.

Snowmelt flooding

Spring snowmelt raises the Provo River and creeks, flooding basements and low areas, as in 2023.

Student rental leaks

Rentals near BYU change tenants often, and slow leaks can go unreported.

Finished basement flooding

Failed water heaters and sump pumps soak carpet and drywall in finished basements.

Earthquake pipe damage

Provo sits along the Wasatch Fault, and an earthquake can crack pipes, water heaters and foundations.
