Sandy climbs from the valley floor near State Street up the east bench toward Little Cottonwood and Bells canyons. Many homes date from the 1970s through the 1990s and have full basements, with newer homes on the higher benches.
Water issues common in Sandy
- Cold-weather pipe breaks, especially on the east bench where homes sit higher and closer to the canyons.
- Original plumbing in 1970s and 1980s homes: water heaters, valves and supply lines past their expected life.
- Basement water from window wells, hillside drainage and snowmelt.
- Ice dams on roofs that hold snow, leading to ceiling stains and attic moisture.

My basement flooded from a window well. Who do I call?
Call a restoration provider for the water removal and drying. Afterward, clear the well drain and check that downspouts and grading move water away from the house.
