There are many benefits to using a flood remediation company, especially in Utah.

Utah has multiple risk factors that can increase the probability of flooding such as harsh weather, topography (mountains, cliffs, and narrow canyons), top soil erosion rates of 2 inches per hour in some areas of the state, and several waterways that carry excess water quickly to larger bodies of water.

During Spring and Summer there is increased risk of flooding from snowmelt, and flash flooding. Faulty sprinkler systems and/or faulty drainage systems can also add to the risk of flooding.

Late Summer monsoon storms have been known to drop large amounts of rain in a short amount of time. These storms can cause flash floods, landslides, and mudslides that damage homes and buildings along the Wasatch Front.
