Before anyone arrives

What to do right now in Eden

Go through these in order and skip anything that doesn't feel safe. None of it is worth getting hurt over.

  1. Shut off the water

    Look for the main valve near the meter or where the line comes into the house, and turn it slowly, since older valves can stick. If it's one fixture, its own shutoff valve will do.

  2. Stay clear of the power

    If you can reach the breaker panel without stepping in water, switch off the wet rooms. If you can't, leave it alone, stay out of the water and tell us when you call.

  3. Take pictures first

    Before you clean up, photograph the water, where it came from and whatever it damaged. Your insurance company will ask, and you only get one chance at those shots.

  4. Rescue what you can

    Move rugs, papers, photos and electronics to a dry room, and prop furniture up off the wet floor. Everything else can wait.

  5. Let the air move

    If the water is clean and the power's safe, open interior doors and run the fans you have. Stay out if it's sewage or floodwater, and keep that air away from the rest of the house.

Mold can get started within 24 to 48 hours, so it's worth calling even if the worst seems over.

Typical build year

The usual weak spots in Eden homes

Homes from these years often had plastic plumbing put in, and one type stands out. Polybutylene, usually gray and often stamped PB, was widely used until the mid 1990s and is known for failing without warning, usually at the fittings.

Check the exposed lines near your water heater and under the sinks. While you're there, look at the tank's age on its label. Eight to twelve years is about all you can expect, and when one fails, it fails on the floor.

Help for every kind of water problem in Eden

The desert Southwest

How the desert shapes water damage in Eden

Weather

Long dry spells end suddenly here. A summer monsoon storm can drop an inch of rain in minutes, and water the baked ground can't absorb races down washes and streets. At higher elevations, winter brings its own trouble, with snow and hard freezes that split pipes never built for the cold.

Buildings

Tile over concrete slabs is everywhere, and water that gets under it stays there. Stucco can crack and let rain in behind the finish. Flat roofs depend on small scuppers to drain, and rooftop or attic cooling units can leak straight into the ceiling below.

Ground

Baked ground acts more like a parking lot than a sponge. Rain runs off it fast, collects in low spots and pushes against anything in its way. If your yard slopes toward your home, or the patio has settled, you may find out in the first monsoon storm.

Drying

Desert air can dry a surface in hours and leave the slab below it wet. So the drying goes where the water is, with suction floor mat systems over tile and injectors feeding air into wall cavities.

When you call

How a water damage job works in Eden

We'll ask where you are, what happened and whether the water's still running. That takes a couple of minutes. Then we'll connect you with a specialist from our network who works in Weber County, and you can ask them when they can be there before you hang up. Homes and commercial buildings are both fine.

The first hour is mostly detective work. Using thermal imaging and moisture meters, the specialist traces the water through walls and floors. Then they'll sort it into Category 1, 2 or 3, from clean supply line water to sewage or floodwater. If it's Category 3, they'll seal the area with plastic sheeting and set up negative air with HEPA filtration, so the contaminated air stays put.

Most of the job is drying, and it's slower than people expect. Extraction units, often truck-mounted, take out the bulk water. Air movers and low grain refrigerant (LGR) dehumidifiers then do the long, loud work of pulling moisture out of walls and floors. Desiccant units come in when it's too cold or the materials are too dense for LGR machines. Psychrometric readings, which are daily checks of temperature and humidity, tell the specialist if the setup needs changing.

So how do you know it's done? It's done when the numbers say so. A dry baseline from untouched materials in your house is the target, and each wet area has to reach it before the equipment leaves. It follows the IICRC S500 standard, and you get a record of the readings for your insurance claim.

Can it be saved? A guide for Eden homes

Don't write everything off just because it's wet. Clean-water carpet can usually be dried where it sits, with new pad underneath. Hardwood floors respond well to floor drying mats if you get to them early, though you may see some cupping for a while. And drywall usually needs a flood cut near the floor, not a whole new wall.

If it was sewage or floodwater, porous things usually can't be saved. Carpet, pad and soaked insulation go in the dumpster, and studs and hard floors get cleaned and disinfected. Keep clear of any gas appliance that was underwater, and of any floor with a bit of bounce, until a professional has checked them.

What people in Eden ask us

How fast can someone get to me in Eden?

Often within hours. Our network covers Weber County, and we'll look for whoever can reach you soonest. Storms are the exception, because every crew in the area gets busy, so please don't wait to see if it gets worse.

Can I clean up water damage myself?

Some of it, yes. A bit of clean water on tile is a job for a mop and a fan. It's different when water has got under the flooring or into a wall, or when it's dirty. Household fans can't dry a wall cavity, and sewage isn't safe to handle.

How long does it take to dry out a house?

It depends on how much got wet and for how long. A fresh leak in one room could be dry in a couple of days, while a soaked floor and walls may need a week. You'll see daily readings, so you'll know how it's going.

Can wet hardwood floors and carpet be saved?

Quite often. Floor mats and steady air can save hardwood that would otherwise be torn out, so tell the specialist about it first thing. With carpet, it all depends on the water: clean means dry it and replace the pad, sewage or floodwater means it comes out.

Will my insurance pay for water damage?

Many water losses are covered, so it's worth checking. The usual line is sudden versus gradual: a burst supply line is generally covered, and a slow drip often isn't. Flood damage needs a separate flood policy, and a sewer backup may need an extra rider.
