Water Damage Restoration in Highland, Utah

Highland was homesteaded in the 1870s and named by Scottish immigrants who thought the area looked like the highlands of Scotland. It grew almost 25% between 2010 and 2020, reaching 19,348 residents. At about 4,900 feet on the north end of Utah County, Highland is mostly large-lot single-family homes between Alpine, Cedar Hills, American Fork, and Lehi.

• Groundwater and hillside runoff: Water moves downhill through the soil, and on sloped lots it often reaches the uphill basement wall first.
• Large finished basements: More finished space means more drywall, carpet, and built-ins to dry, and more places for moisture to hide.
• Frozen hose bibs and sprinklers: Higher-elevation homes get colder nights, and an exterior spigot that isn't winterized can split and leak into the wall behind it.

Highland sits at about 4,876 feet, so most of its water problems are plumbing and appliance failures. Seasonal peaks come in January cold snaps and in late spring, when irrigation systems come back online and old lines give way.

• Turn off the power to wet areas at the breaker if you can do it without standing in water.
• Take photos and video of the damage before you move anything. Your insurer will want to see the original condition.
• Don't use a household vacuum on standing water. It can't handle the volume and can create an electrical hazard.
• Hold off on throwing out damaged items until they have been photographed and listed for your insurer.

We're headquartered in Bluffdale and typically reach Highland within 45 minutes, day or night. We work room by room: extraction first, then targeted removal of anything that can't be saved, then monitored drying with daily readings until materials hit dry standards. Coverage depends on your policy; if covered, we bill your carrier directly. Rebuilds go to Keystone BuildWorks, our licensed and insured sister company, so you don't have to hire a separate contractor.
