Mold Removal in Draper, UT
Draper fills the southeast corner of the Salt Lake Valley and climbs over the Point of the Mountain into Utah County. The city had 7,000 people in 1990 and 51,000 by 2020, and most of that growth went up the hillsides: SunCrest on the ridge, the benches below Corner Canyon, and the flats along the freeway. The hillside homes are large, new, and built on cut-and-fill lots with walkout basements facing the view.
The spring of 2023 showed what saturated fill does. On April 22 two homes on Springtime Road in the Hidden Canyon section of SunCrest, finished in December 2021, slid into the ravine behind them. Cracks had started a year earlier, and the mayor called them man-made lots. The same month, neighbors on the ridge reported groundwater rising into basements because the ground had nowhere left to put it. Below, the 2008 Corner Canyon fire burned 600 acres and sent mud off the scar the next year.
Draper homeowners who call this site are handed off to an independent local mold provider. The provider inspects, explains, and quotes the work. The site does not do any of it.
Draper mold removal, hillside walkouts and wet fill
A walkout basement with a wet uphill wall after the melt is a basement mold remediation call, and on a fill lot the crew reads every wall, because water in fill does not follow the slope you would expect. A large home that sat empty over a ski week while a supply line froze becomes whole-home mold remediation. When the basement is dry, mold damage repair puts it back, usually with drainage added at the uphill wall.
Where to call in Draper
Drywall, plumbing, and electrical work after removal goes through the City of Draper's Building and Renovating division. The Corner Canyon Trails Foundation stewards the canyon the city bought with a seven-million-dollar bond in 2005 rather than let 1,200 homes go up on it, and its trails are the clearest view of how the hillside above the benches drains.
