Liberty Wells runs south of Liberty Park between State Street and 700 East, a streetcar suburb that filled in between 1900 and 1929 after the trolley lines pushed past the city center, with infill through the 1930s and 1940s. The houses are small brick bungalows and Victorian cottages on narrow lots, most on brick or stone foundations with a cellar dug under part of the house. The neighborhood is a National Register historic district, and the name recalls the artesian wells that once watered this stretch of the valley floor.
Those wells are the point. The ground under Liberty Wells is flat valley floor with a high water table, and when the Wasatch snowpack melts the water comes up through cellar floors and brick walls that were never meant to be dry. A cellar converted into a bedroom or a rental with carpet on the slab is the usual place the growth shows, and the single 1915 bathroom upstairs, with a window for a fan, is the other.
Homeowners in Liberty Wells reach an independent local mold provider through this site's phone line. That provider reads the brick wall and the slab with a meter before any cut. We only set up the call.
Growth on a finished cellar wall after the melt is mold removal. A black ceiling corner over a tub in a bathroom with no fan is bathroom mold removal. A dark bloom on old brick behind the paneling is black mold removal.
Liberty Park, Salt Lake City's oldest and second-largest park, gives the neighborhood its name and its northern edge.
Call (801) 457-5486 and tell us what the cellar floor is doing. We put you through to a local mold provider serving Liberty Wells.
Growth on a basement wall after a window well filled or a stone foundation wept: room sealed, wet drywall cut to the meter line, framing cleaned and dried.
A dark patch on a basement wall or behind a vanity, handled by how far the water went rather than its color: contain, remove, clean, then fix the leak.
A finished basement that soaked through during the melt, or a supply line that ran for weeks, mapped room by room and cleared in zones as one job.
Swamp cooler pads, duct runs, furnace plenum, and the condensate pan cleaned when the house smells musty every time the blower or cooler starts.
Growth above a shower with no fan, behind a 1920s tile wall, or under a vanity with a slow trap leak, removed once the moisture source is fixed.
Dark sheathing under a flat roof that iced up in January, or around a cooler curb, cleaned and treated once the ice dam or the roof leak is corrected.
A musty basement smell with nothing visible, traced to the wet carpet pad, the back of the paneling, or the bottom plate, then removed at the source.
Drywall, baseboard, carpet pad, and cabinet floors put back after removal, once the basement reads dry and the seepage or pipe is fixed.
