Groundwater & Basement Water Intrusion in Provo, UT
Basement seepage, failed sumps and water through the slab are extracted and dried, and the path from the ground is found so the floor stays dry next season. The path from the ground is named first: through the wall, up through the slab, back through a drain, or from a sump that stopped. The space is extracted and dried, with the porous materials the water touched removed, and the delivery is addressed, because a dried floor only stays dry if the water stops arriving.

Often needed alongside
- Structural Drying & Dehumidification
Sealed air movers and dehumidifiers bring framing, subfloor and drywall back to a measured dry standard, with daily readings logged from inside the material.
- Emergency Water Extraction
Standing water is pumped and extracted around the clock, before it climbs the walls and soaks the subfloor. Same-day response where coverage allows.
- Mold Inspection & Testing
An independent assessor confirms whether the assembly that got wet is actually dry, whether growth started while it was not, and how far it reaches.
Frequently asked questions
Why does one wall take all the damage?
Because the wind here has a direction and keeps it. Air draining out of the canyon funnels into the valley and blows across the city from the same quarter, so whichever elevation faces it takes nearly all the driven rain the house ever sees.
Why does driven rain get in where falling rain does not?
Because the details were designed for water running down. Lap joints, vents and window seals shed rain arriving from above and are far less effective against water being pushed horizontally at them, which finds its way into the laps instead of over them.
What does that mean for maintenance?
That the elevations are not equal and should not be treated as such. Inspecting and resealing the canyon-facing wall on a shorter cycle than the other three is the practical response, and it is where any budget for the outside of the house is best spent.
