Taylorsville became a city on July 1, 1996, out of the Taylorsville-Bennion area and part of Kearns, and the 2020 census counted 60,448 people. Settlers farmed both banks of the Jordan River here from 1848, but the housing is mostly later: some of the first large subdivisions in western Salt Lake County went in during the 1950s after Camp Kearns closed, and brick ramblers and split-levels from the 1960s through the 1980s make up most of the streets. Nearly every one has a basement.
The city sits on the west bank of the Jordan River, and its east side is low, flat, and slow to drain when the snow melts. The 1950s and 1960s basements were often finished with paneling furred over block and carpet pad on the slab, and the roofs above them still carry evaporative coolers. The 2020 earthquake, centered a few miles northwest, cracked foundations here too.
Homeowners in Taylorsville reach an independent local mold provider through this site's phone line. That provider meters the walls before anything is cut and explains the scope. We only set up the call.
Dark growth on the back of paneling after a wet spring is black mold removal. A gray band on the drywall above a basement baseboard is mold removal. Carpet, pad, and drywall put back once the slab reads dry is mold damage repair.
Salt Lake Community College keeps its main campus on Redwood Road in Taylorsville, and a rebuild permit after removal runs through Taylorsville City, handled by the provider.
Call (801) 457-5486 and describe the basement wall. We put you through to a local mold provider serving Taylorsville.
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.
