Holladay was settled in 1847 along Spring Creek, which makes it the oldest continuously inhabited settlement in Utah, and it incorporated as a city on November 29, 1999. The 2020 census counted 31,965 people. The housing is known for big wooded lots and older homes: 1950s and 1960s brick ramblers on the flat, larger custom houses on the bench toward Big Cottonwood Canyon, and a scattering of farmhouses that predate both. Basements are nearly universal, and many were finished decades ago.
The wooded lots that make Holladay pleasant also keep the ground wet. Mature trees shade the foundation, downspouts dump into planting beds against the house, and Big Cottonwood Creek runs along the city's edge and sat on the county's high-risk list during the 2023 melt. Rooftop evaporative coolers and flat-roofed additions from the 1960s add their own leaks.
Homeowners in Holladay reach an independent local mold provider through this site's phone line. That provider meters the downstairs walls before anything is cut. We only set up the call.
A gray line above the baseboard in a downstairs bedroom after the melt is mold removal, with the grade and the downspout fixed first. A bathroom added in the basement in 1968 with a fan that vents into the joists is bathroom mold removal. A basement that smells like a root cellar every spring is mold odor removal.
Rebuilding drywall or plumbing after removal goes through the City of Holladay, and the provider pulls the permit.
Call (801) 457-5486 and tell us which wall is wet. We put you through to a local mold provider serving Holladay.
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.
