Water Damage Restoration in Jordan River Corridor, South Jordan

Water Damage Restoration in Jordan River and 1300 West Corridor, South Jordan 84095

South Jordan City says most of the city is not prone to high groundwater, but neighborhoods along 1300 West and close to the Jordan River may be, and owners there should check their sump pumps. When a pump fails or cannot keep up, water seeps up through the basement floor and along the walls until the water table drops. A crew gets the water out with pumps and extractors, then measures how far it spread under carpet and behind finished walls. Dehumidifiers and air movers go in the same day.

Homes in this corridor are single-family houses of mixed ages, and many have basements. Groundwater rises from below, so carpet pad, the bottom of drywall and boxes on the floor take the worst of it. Pad usually comes out, carpet sometimes dries in place, and drywall is often cut above the wet line so the cavity can dry.

How Homes in Jordan River and 1300 West Corridor Take On Water

This corridor runs along 1300 West and the Jordan River Parkway, which has about 3.5 miles of trail inside South Jordan, near 11400 South. Many homes have basements finished with carpet, drywall and storage. Where groundwater sits higher, a sump pit and pump keep the basement dry, so the pump and its power supply are the weak points. In March 2006, homes near 11400 South that sat outside the river flood plain took groundwater into their basements after storms raised the water table, and one owner pumped for about a week.

Spring is the season to watch. Snowmelt and storms raise the water table, and in February 2024 water was released from Utah Lake into the Jordan River for the first time since 2011. That March, rising flows eroded banks near a neighborhood by 11400 South, and one resident's sump well was already full of groundwater. Summer cloudbursts can also fill window wells.
