Mold removal for Draper's hillside homes
Draper's hillside homes deal with water that moves downhill through the soil, especially in spring. Basements cut into slopes and walkout levels are where we usually find it.

Mold removal in Draper usually starts in a basement or walkout level cut into a slope, where spring groundwater pushes against the uphill wall. We dry what got wet, remove what grew under containment and point out drainage fixes, since water that comes downhill once will come again next spring.
Draper conditions
When the hillside moves water
During the April 2023 runoff, Draper closed a trail after a landslide on Springtime Road. A slope that moves is an extreme case, but it shows how much water the benches carry in a big snow year.
Most of that water never makes the news. It moves downhill through the soil and presses against the uphill walls of basements and walkout levels, where it seeps in at cracks and joints and sits behind finished drywall. Uphill walls are where we read first in Draper homes.

- Keep swales and drains on the uphill side of the house clear.
