Restoration Services in Lehi

FIX Restoration handles water damage, fire and smoke damage, mold remediation, and reconstruction for homeowners and property managers throughout Lehi. Operating out of American Fork since 2012, the crew reaches Lehi quickly via I-15 and Traverse Parkway, close enough that a same-day response is realistic for most of the city. Whether the call comes from a finished basement filling with water or a kitchen fire that left smoke residue in every room, the work is the same: stop the damage, document it thoroughly, and get the building back to where it was.

Restoration emergencies common in Lehi

Lehi sits at the edge of Utah Lake’s valley floor and climbs into the foothills of the Traverse Mountains, and that geography shapes what goes wrong with buildings here. Winters bring hard freezes that can split supply lines inside exterior walls, especially in the tract homes and townhomes built quickly during the growth surge of the 2000s and 2010s, where insulation in garage walls and rim joists is sometimes thin. Spring snowmelt and the occasional intense summer thunderstorm push water toward foundations faster than the clay-heavy soils in parts of the valley can drain it. Finished basements, common in Lehi’s family-sized floor plans, turn a slow seep into a significant loss within hours. Wildfire smoke from fires in the Traverse Range and across the Wasatch Front also reaches Lehi regularly, and smoke particles that enter an HVAC system during a red-air event can deposit residue on surfaces throughout a home even when there is no structural fire.

Services we provide in Lehi

Water damage restoration

Water damage in Lehi most often starts with a burst pipe, a failed water heater, or a backed-up drain, but the real problem is what happens in the first 24 to 48 hours while it goes unnoticed. Water behind drywall or under LVP flooring can read dry at the surface while the framing and subfloor stay saturated. The crew uses moisture mapping and thermal imaging to find those hidden pockets before mold has a chance to take hold, then sets drying equipment sized to the actual affected area.

Mold remediation

Lehi’s newer construction often uses OSB sheathing and engineered lumber, materials that absorb moisture faster than older dimensional lumber and can begin supporting mold growth within 24 to 72 hours of a water event. Remediation here means containing the affected area, removing compromised materials, and treating the structure, not just surface-cleaning visible growth.

Fire and smoke damage restoration

After a kitchen or garage fire, the visible char is rarely the whole story. Smoke travels through wall cavities and ductwork, and the oily residue from synthetic materials common in modern homes bonds to surfaces quickly. Restoration work includes odor neutralization, content cleaning, and structural repair, coordinated with your insurance carrier from the first inspection.

Reconstruction

When a loss requires more than drying and cleaning, when drywall, flooring, cabinetry, or structural framing has to come out, FIX Restoration handles the rebuild so you are not managing two separate contractors. That matters especially when permits are involved and the scope needs to stay consistent from mitigation through final inspection.

Coverage and how fast we can get there

American Fork and Lehi share a border along State Route 73, and the two cities are connected by I-15 as well as surface routes through the Tech Ridge and Traverse Mountain corridors. Travel time from the American Fork office to most of Lehi is short under normal traffic conditions. The brand block does not specify a guaranteed on-site window, so the honest answer is: call (801) 930-9750, describe the situation, and the team will give you a realistic arrival estimate based on current conditions. For active water intrusion, the sooner the call comes in, the more material can be saved.

Building stock, site conditions, and permits in Lehi

Most of Lehi’s residential building stock dates from the 1990s through the present, with the largest share built after 2000 during the city’s rapid expansion. That era means slab-on-grade and basement foundations are both common, framing is predominantly wood-frame with OSB sheathing, and plumbing supply lines are typically copper or PEX, though older pockets of the city may still have galvanized steel. Homes built before the mid-1990s warrant a check for asbestos-containing materials in texture coatings and vinyl flooring before any demolition scope is finalized.

Soils across the valley floor contain a meaningful clay fraction, which limits drainage and can transmit hydrostatic pressure against foundation walls during wet cycles. The Lehi City Building Department is the authority having jurisdiction for structural repair and reconstruction permits; work that involves removing load-bearing elements, altering the building envelope, or replacing mechanical systems will typically require a permit and inspection before walls are closed. Utah generally follows the International Building Code family on an adoption cycle set at the state level, confirm the current adopted edition with the building department when scoping any permitted repair.

Call (801) 930-9750 to talk through what happened and what comes next. FIX Restoration will walk you through the process, work directly with your insurance carrier on documentation, and schedule an assessment as quickly as the calendar allows.
