Midvale incorporated in 1909 and took its name from its spot in the middle of the Salt Lake Valley; the 2020 census counted 36,028 people on under six square miles. The town grew in the 1870s on the railroad that served the Bingham Canyon mines, and smelter slag piled up along the Jordan River from 1871 to 1958. That ground was cleaned under federal supervision and came off the Superfund list in 2006, and the Bingham Junction offices and apartments now stand on it.
The houses are older than the office parks. Early 1900s brick workers' homes sit near Main Street, 1950s and 1960s ramblers fill the blocks east toward State Street, and nearly all of them have a basement dug into soil that drains toward the river. Spring groundwater, window wells without drains, and rooftop swamp coolers on the older streets are the three usual sources of a wet Midvale basement.
Homeowners in Midvale reach an independent local mold provider through this site's phone line. That provider reads the walls with a meter and lays out the scope. We only set up the call.
Growth behind the baseboard of a 1950s basement after the melt is mold removal. A dark bloom on the block wall behind paneling is black mold removal. The drywall and pad replaced after the slab reads dry is mold damage repair.
A rebuild after removal pulls its permit through Midvale City, which the provider handles.
Call (801) 457-5486 and describe the growth and the wall. We put you through to a local mold provider serving Midvale.
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.
