South Ogden was settled along Burch Creek in 1848 and incorporated in 1936, then grew so fast during the 1940s housing push for Hill Air Force Base that it called itself the City of Homes. The 1950s added another 150 percent to the population, and most of that came as brick and stucco ramblers with full basements on the streets between Washington Boulevard and the bench, at about 4,675 feet.
Those basements are now sixty and seventy years old. The water heater is in a utility corner, the family room was finished in the 1980s over the original slab, and the supply line to the garage hose bib runs through an uninsulated wall.
This site connects South Ogden homeowners with an independent local water damage provider by phone. The provider looks at the house first and writes the scope from the readings.
A tank that rusted through in the utility room is water heater leak cleanup, and the finished room next to it is usually part of the job. Water that came up the floor drain or over the pit during a wet spring is basement flooding cleanup. Once the wet material is out, structural drying runs until the framing and slab hit their targets.
Rebuild permits for new drywall with wiring behind it, plumbing, or framing go through South Ogden City Building and Inspections, which reviews plans and does the field inspections. The city shares its east edge with McKay-Dee Hospital on Harrison Boulevard, the largest employer on this end of the county and the reason so many of the surrounding streets were built in the same decade.
