Murray incorporated on January 3, 1903, as a smelter town; the first smelter opened in 1870, and the ASARCO lead smelter ran until 1949. The 2020 census counted 50,637 people. The city runs its own power, water, and sewer utilities, which is unusual in the valley, and its housing stretches from 1900s workers' cottages near State Street to 1950s and 1960s brick ramblers and the Cottonwood West neighborhoods annexed in the mid-2000s. Basements are standard, and most were finished long ago.
Murray sits low along the Jordan River and Little Cottonwood Creek, and the water table under its west side rises every spring. The old smelter grounds were cleared in 2000 and became the site of Intermountain Medical Center in 2007, but the older houses around it still have the stone and block foundations of their era, and those weep when the snow goes off.
Homeowners in Murray reach an independent local mold provider through this site's phone line. That provider meters the foundation wall and tells you what stays. We only set up the call.
A damp carpet pad against a basement wall after the melt is mold removal. A dark bloom behind paneling on the block wall is black mold removal. A furnace plenum that smells like the basement it sits in is HVAC mold cleaning.
Intermountain Medical Center now covers the old ASARCO site at the center of town, and a rebuild permit after removal goes through Murray City, which the provider handles.
Call (801) 457-5486 and describe what got wet. We put you through to a local mold provider serving Murray.
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.
