Local risks: Herriman and Salt Lake County

The risks in Herriman in Salt Lake County are shaped by Utah's climate and housing. Utah's Wasatch Front homes commonly have finished basements that take on water during spring snowmelt and from failed water heaters and supply lines, while winter freezes burst pipes and summer brings wildfire smoke and flash floods in canyon country. Problems tend to peak during spring snowmelt and winter, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Water heater tank failures that release 40 to 80 gallons at once
• Spring snowmelt that saturates the soil and seeps into basements and foundations
• Leaking shower pans and failed tile grout
• Ice dams that back melting snow under shingles and into ceilings and exterior walls
• Basement seepage, sump pump failures and sewer backups through floor drains
• Grass and brush fires that spread to fences, outbuildings and homes
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter
• Flood water that was never fully dried out of walls and floors

What to do right now

The first hour determines how much can be saved. While a crew is on the way:

• Shut off the main water valve if the source is a plumbing failure, and turn off power to the affected area if water is near outlets or appliances
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• Do not run the HVAC system if ducts or the air handler got wet, and do not use household fans on sewage or flood water
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed

When and where damage happens in Herriman

Whatever the construction type in Herriman, the pattern is the same: the visible damage is usually a fraction of what the moisture meter finds.

The coldest stretches of winter produce a surge in frozen and burst pipe calls, and the spring thaw brings the groundwater problems that follow. Home fires peak in winter, when space heaters, fireplaces and furnaces are running and holiday cooking and decorating add risk. Winter condensation on windows and in attics, followed by spring moisture in basements and crawlspaces, gives mold two seasons to get started.
