What causes water damage in Utah

Spring runoff

Record snowpack in 2023 sent creeks out of their banks in Salt Lake and Davis counties and raised groundwater under basements.

Frozen pipes and ice dams

Cold winters and heavy snow affect the Wasatch Front, Park City and Cache Valley.

Flash floods

Monsoon storms flood St. George, Moab and the canyon country.

Homes and how they are built

Most Wasatch Front homes have basements, often finished as living space or apartments, so basement water is expensive. Ski-area condos and cabins are frequently unoccupied.

When it happens

Freeze and ice dam season runs December through March. Runoff peaks April through June, and flash floods July through September.

Rules and insurance in Utah

Contractors are licensed by the Utah Division of Professional Licensing.

In every state, homeowners insurance excludes rising floodwater, which needs a separate flood policy. See what homeowners insurance covers.

Questions from Utah homeowners

Why did basements flood in a year with no big storms?

Snowmelt raises groundwater. In 2023 the water table rose high enough to push through floors and window wells along the benches.

Is groundwater seepage covered by insurance?

Usually not. Homeowners policies exclude seepage and flooding; a flood policy covers surface flooding but little in a basement.

How do I check a contractor?

Verify the license with the Utah Division of Professional Licensing.
