Mold Removal in Lehi, UT

Lehi was settled in 1850 at a place the pioneers called Dry Creek, and the creek is still the city's problem child. It carries the melt off Alpine and Highland through the middle of town toward the Jordan River. On the morning of May 29, 1983 it overwhelmed the culvert at Lehi Elementary, flooded the school and the blocks around 500 North and 100 West, and took out six or seven bridges. In 2019 it flooded the same schoolyard again, and in May 2023 the city closed the spillway gates on the Dry Creek reservoir twice and hired divers to clear the intake.

The other half of Lehi's story is growth. The city went from about 19,000 people in 2000 to nearly 76,000 in 2020, and most of that is subdivisions with full basements, many of them on the low ground between the old town and Utah Lake. More than a thousand of those homes stand on land that was under water in 1983.

Lehi homeowners who call this site are handed off to an independent local mold provider. The provider inspects the house, explains, and quotes the work. The site does not do any of it.

Lehi mold removal, from old town to the lake flats

A finished basement on the west side that takes groundwater in a wet spring is a basement mold remediation job, and the crew reads the slab and the bottom plate before deciding how much wall comes out. A pipe that froze over a winter trip in a newer two-story turns into whole-home mold remediation when the water ran through three floors. Once the wet material is out and the wall reads dry, mold damage repair puts the drywall, trim, and carpet back.

Where to call in Lehi

Permits for the rebuild go through Lehi City Building and Inspections on 100 East, which runs an online permit portal. If you want to know whether your street flooded in 1983 before you finish the basement, the Lehi Historical Society on West Main keeps the photos and the sandbag counts.
