West Side West Jordan Water Damage Help

The west side filled in after 2000 as subdivisions pushed toward the Mountain View Corridor and the foothills of the Oquirrh Mountains. Homes are often two stories with full basements, PEX plumbing and laundry rooms on the upper floor.

Newer homes avoid most old-pipe problems but have their own. A burst washer hose upstairs sends water through the floor into the ceiling below. PEX fittings and crimp rings can leak if they were not installed well. Garage walls can let pipes freeze. Lots on sloped ground can send spring runoff toward basements and window wells.

When water leaks upstairs, it follows joists and comes through the ceiling below, sometimes far from the source. Drying covers both floors. Ask the provider to check every room below the leak.

Report leaks in writing with photos, but do not wait for the builder to start drying. Most warranties expect owners to limit the damage.

The City of West Jordan handles the main and the meter. Everything on the house side belongs to the owner, and some HOAs have rules for exterior work.

Water heaters, softeners and washer hoses fail year round. Most calls from here end up being about a basement, because that is where water collects.

Homes built in the last twenty years have PEX, modern water heaters and better insulation, so frozen pipes and old-pipe leaks are less common. The most common calls here are upstairs laundry leaks, toilet supply lines, water heaters and window wells filling with runoff. Many of these homes also have finished basements, so a leak that starts upstairs can reach three levels.

Lots closer to the foothills sit on slopes. During spring melt and summer storms, runoff can head toward the house. Swales, downspout extensions and window well covers help keep it outside.

Some leaks in newer homes trace back to construction: a nail through a pipe, a loose fitting or a missing drain pan. If you find one, report it to the builder in writing even as you start drying.
