 Frequently Asked Questions About Water Damage Restoration

How quickly can you respond to a water damage emergency in Salt Lake City?

î ¶

We’re available 24/7/365 for water damage emergencies. As a locally owned company based right here in Salt Lake City, our goal is to have a technician on-site as quickly as possible — typically within 60 to 90 minutes for Salt Lake County locations. The faster we start extracting water and drying your property, the less damage occurs and the lower your restoration costs.

Do you work with homeowners insurance companies?

î ¶

Yes, we work with all major insurance companies and have extensive experience navigating the claims process. We provide detailed documentation, photos, and reports that insurance companies require. We can even bill your insurance directly in many cases, so you don't have to pay out of pocket first.

What's included in your free estimate?

î ¶

Our free, risk-free estimate includes a thorough inspection of the water damage, moisture detection testing, an honest assessment of what repairs are needed, and transparent pricing for the restoration work. We'll never pressure you or upsell unnecessary services. The estimate is truly no-obligation.

How long does water damage restoration take?

î ¶

It depends on the extent of damage, but most residential water damage projects take 3-7 days for drying and 1-2 weeks for complete restoration. We use industrial equipment to speed the drying process safely. We'll give you a realistic timeline during your estimate and keep you updated throughout the process.

What certifications do your technicians have?

î ¶

UWDS holds a Utah B100 General Building Contractor license, which means we handle the full scope of restoration and reconstruction — not just the drying and cleanup. Our technicians are IICRC certified in Water Restoration and Applied Structural Drying. We also hold Utah Department of Environmental Quality and EPA certifications for mold remediation and lead restoration. We’re licensed, bonded, and fully insured.

Can you handle mold that develops after water damage?

î ¶

Absolutely. Our Utah DEQ certified technicians are experts in mold remediation. If mold has developed, or if we detect moisture conditions that could lead to mold, we'll address it immediately using proper containment and removal procedures to protect your family's health.

What should I do immediately when I discover water damage?

î ¶

First, if safe to do so, stop the water source (turn off main water valve for pipe leaks). Then call us immediately at 801-441-2190. While you wait, move valuables to dry areas if possible, but don't enter standing water without protective gear. Don't try to clean up sewage yourself. We'll handle everything safely when we arrive.

How much does water damage restoration cost in Salt Lake City?

î ¶

Costs vary widely depending on the extent of damage, from $1,500 for minor leaks to $15,000+ for major flooding. That's why we always provide a free, detailed estimate first. Most homeowners insurance policies cover sudden water damage (like burst pipes), and we'll work with your insurance to maximize your coverage.

Do you handle both residential and commercial properties?

î ¶

Yes, we handle water damage restoration for both residential and commercial properties throughout Salt Lake County. Whether it's a home, apartment building, office, or retail space, we have the equipment and expertise to handle projects of any size.
