Central City sits just east of downtown, bounded by South Temple, 200 East, 900 South, and 700 East, and because it was close to Temple Square it was settled soon after 1847. The housing is the densest mix in the city: 1870s to 1920s brick cottages, Victorians, and apartment courts on the side streets, St. Mark's Cathedral built between 1870 and 1903 at the northwest corner, and a wave of transit-oriented apartments going up along the TRAX lines. The old houses sit on brick and stone foundations with cellars underneath.
Those cellars are where Central City mold lives. The ground is flat valley floor with a high water table, and a cellar that became a basement apartment in the 1970s put carpet on the slab and drywall on brick that weeps every April. A single 1900 bathroom with a window and no fan, and a roofline that holds snow against a parapet, round out the usual sources.
Homeowners in Central City reach an independent local mold provider through this site's phone line. That provider reads the cellar wall with a meter before any demolition. We only set up the call.
Growth low on the wall of a finished cellar after the melt is mold removal. A dark bloom on soft brick behind the drywall is black mold removal. A black ceiling corner in a bathroom with no fan is bathroom mold removal.
Trolley Square, the 1908 streetcar barns that became a shopping center in 1972, sits at 600 South and 700 East at the neighborhood's southeast edge, its 97-foot water tower a city landmark.
Call (801) 457-5486 and tell us about the cellar wall. We put you through to a local mold provider serving Central City.
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.
