Common Causes of Home Water Damage in Utah

Frozen & Burst Pipes

Utah's harsh winters create perfect conditions for frozen pipes. When a pipe bursts, it can release hundreds of gallons of water throughout your home. Basements, crawl spaces, and exterior walls are most vulnerable.

Ice Dam Damage

Snow accumulation on your roof melts during the day and refreezes at night, creating ice dams that force water under shingles and into your attic and walls. This damage often goes unnoticed until it's extensive.

Basement Flooding

Spring snowmelt and heavy rains can overwhelm foundation drainage, flooding basements. Poor grading, failed sump pumps, and foundation cracks make this worse.

Appliance Failures

Water heaters, washing machines, and dishwashers eventually fail. A 40-50 gallon water heater can flood multiple rooms when it ruptures.

Plumbing Leaks

Hidden leaks in walls, under slabs, or in crawl spaces can cause extensive damage before you notice visible signs. Sprinkler system lines are common culprits in Utah homes with basements.

Storm Damage

Heavy rainstorms can cause roof leaks, window leaks, and flooding. Wind-driven rain can penetrate areas that normally stay dry.
