Mold Removal in East Bench, UT

The East Bench is the shelf of ground at the foot of the Wasatch between about 1300 East and the mountain, the part of Salt Lake City where most new houses have gone since the 1970s. The housing climbs by decade: 1940s and 1950s ramblers near Foothill Drive, 1960s and 1970s split-levels and ramblers on the upper streets, and larger homes toward the canyon mouths. Nearly all have a basement, and on the steeper lots it is a walkout with the hill behind it.

Snow lies deeper and lasts longer on the bench than on the valley floor, and when it goes it runs downhill through every yard. Emigration Creek and Red Butte Creek cross the bench on their way to the Jordan River; in April 2023, with a record snowpack melting, Emigration Creek clogged a flood structure at Wasatch Hollow and spilled across 1700 South, and both creeks sat on the county's high-risk list. A walkout basement takes that water at the back wall first.

Homeowners on the East Bench reach an independent local mold provider through this site's phone line. That provider meters the back wall and the slab before anything is cut. We only set up the call.

East Bench mold removal in a walkout against the hill

A wet back wall after the melt is mold removal, with the drainage behind the house corrected before the wall closes. Black streaks on roof sheathing after a deep-snow winter are attic mold remediation. A finished lower level that soaked through is whole-home mold remediation.

A zoo at the mouth of Emigration Canyon

Utah's Hogle Zoo sits on Sunnyside Avenue where Emigration Canyon opens onto the bench, on the same creek that flooded the neighborhood below it in 2023.

Call (801) 457-5486 and tell us about the back wall. We put you through to a local mold provider serving the East Bench.
