Water damage & mold help in Sandy, UT
Sandy sits at the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon in the south Salt Lake Valley. Heavy winter snow brings ice dams and frozen pipes, and spring snowmelt from the Wasatch raises creeks and floods basements, as in 1983 and 2023. Most homes have finished basements.

Sandy homes and water damage
Historic Sandy has older homes with basements. Alta Canyon, Granite and Willow Creek have mostly 1970s–1990s homes with finished basements on sloped lots. Most Sandy homes have finished basements, often with bedrooms, family rooms and storage. A failed water heater, burst pipe or snowmelt seepage can soak the entire lower level quickly, and homes on sloped lots near the canyon mouths face runoff during spring snowmelt and summer storms.
Snowmelt flooding
Spring snowmelt raises creeks and floods basements, as in 1983 and 2023.
Frozen pipes
Cold snaps freeze pipes in exterior walls, garages and basements.
Ice dams
Heavy snow and freeze-thaw cycles cause ice dams.
Hillside runoff
Sloped lots send runoff toward foundations.
Earthquake pipe damage
Sandy sits along the Wasatch Fault, and quakes can crack pipes.
Canyon winds
Strong winds out of the canyons can tear shingles and drive snow and rain under roof edges and into attics, causing leaks that show up in upstairs ceilings days later.
Sump pump failures
Power outages during storms stop sump pumps exactly when they're needed most.
