A failed water heater, a split supply line or spring runoff off the Wasatch foothills: the number below connects 84010 homeowners with an independently run restoration provider.
Most of the city's houses went up between 1950 and 1979, and the pipes, tanks and drains in them are now that old too. These are the jobs that follow.
A 50-year-old supply line or drain lets go behind the paneling of a finished lower level. Wood paneling traps moisture against the studs, so it often has to come off before the wall behind it can dry.
Call (855) 555-0125 →About 60% of city water is pumped from deep wells, and dissolved solids ranged from 108 to 1,172 ppm across city sources in the 2025 water report. When an aging tank finally fails, it empties into the room.
Call (855) 555-0125 →January lows averaged about 22°F (NOAA 1980–2010 normals, Bountiful-Val Verda station). A hose bib or a line in an outside wall freezes, splits, and you often find it at the first thaw.
Call (855) 555-0125 →After a heavy winter, water coming down from Bountiful Peak can overrun drainage on the east bench. Muddy outside water is treated as contaminated, so wet materials it touches usually come out.
Call (855) 555-0125 →Utah's second settlement, once called the garden spot of Utah, sits on a slope. Water runs downhill through it every spring, and much of what carries water inside its homes is half a century old.
In the early hours of 1 June 1983 Stone Creek broke through a mudslide. A 24-square-block area was evacuated and hundreds of homes took serious water and mud. USGS put the peak at 40 times the biggest flood known before it.

The Wasatch Front across Farmington Bay. Bountiful runs from flatland toward the Great Salt Lake up into the foothills, so runoff heads west through yards and window wells.

Bountiful Junior High, Mueller Park Junior High and Viewmont High are handy landmarks to mention on the call. Bountiful High sits at 695 S Orchard Dr.
Val Verda on the south end toward North Salt Lake, Mueller Park near the canyon mouth, Stone Creek Estates off Bountiful Boulevard, Stone Ridge, and the Orchard Drive neighborhoods. All use 84010, a ZIP that also reaches into parts of West Bountiful, Woods Cross and North Salt Lake.
Cell or landline makes no difference, and if your own phone went under with the basement, a neighbor's will do. Nothing is charged for the call.
It isn't voicemail and it isn't a sales pitch. The five digits are how the system picks a company that covers Bountiful; once they're in, it transfers you.
Say whether it's a supply line, the water heater, a floor drain or runoff, and whether the finished part of a split-level is involved. Ask if they'll check behind the paneling and how they record moisture readings for an insurer. You can hang up without booking anything.
A real number for your house only comes after someone walks the wet rooms with a meter. Until then, here are dated national figures to hold an estimate up against.
That's HomeAdvisor's U.S. average as of 17 June 2026. Most of its jobs landed between $1,383 and $6,369; the outliers went from $450 up to $16,000.
Per sq ft, HomeAdvisor (June 2026). On a 600 sq ft lower floor:
Cat 1 clean: $3.50 → ~$2,100
Cat 2 gray: $5.25 → ~$3,150
Cat 3 black: $7.50 → ~$4,500
The three categories come from IICRC S500.
Expect the drying equipment to stay in for three days or more, and the put-back work to take weeks or months after that (Fixr, January 2025). Stripping out and rebuilding soaked drywall and flooring is billed on top of the drying.

Sudden internal water, like a burst pipe, failed water heater or overflowing sink, may be covered. Flood and post-wildfire mudflow are not.
Needed for surface flooding, with a standard 30-day wait. If a split-level's lower floor is below ground on all sides, NFIP treats it as a basement and covers the furnace, water heater and unfinished drywall, but not carpet, finished walls, cabinets or contents.
Not part of a standard Utah homeowners policy; it's added on. A flood policy steps in for backed-up sewage only if outside floodwater set off the backup.

Repair, remodel or tear-out work worth $7,000 or more needs a DOPL-licensed contractor under Utah Code Title 58, Chapter 55. An unlicensed handyman may only take jobs under $7,000 in total, labor, materials and change orders included; over $3,000, even a handyman must have filed proof of liability insurance with DOPL, and plumbing, electrical, gas and HVAC work still needs licensed trades. Ask any company for its -5501 license number. To check a company, search its name or license number at secure.utah.gov/llv; Utah contractor numbers end in -5501, and the record shows classification, status, expiry and any discipline. DOPL: (801) 530-6628.
Applications go through the city's CityInspect portal. The Building Department is at City Hall, 795 South Main Street, (801) 298-6125, Monday to Thursday, 7am to 6pm.
Bountiful City Engineering will tell you a property's FEMA flood zone, floodway status and flood history, and can visit the site. Same number: (801) 298-6125.
Bountiful City Water serves most homes, some areas are on the South Davis Water District, and sewer belongs to the South Davis Sewer District. Call the right one if the leak looks like it's on their side.

Something here not covered? Put it to the provider once you're through to a person.
It's a sorting step. One number covers a lot of places, so the system uses your ZIP to work out where the house is; for Bountiful that's 84010. Once it has those digits it hands you to an independently owned provider that takes calls for that ZIP. Fixly Pro itself never inspects or prices the job.
Water from a tank inside the house isn't a flood, so it usually starts as a homeowners question. Per the Utah Insurance Department, a standard homeowners policy may cover sudden internal water such as a burst pipe or failed water heater, but it excludes flood and post-wildfire mudflow, and sewer backup needs an added endorsement.
If the lower level of a split-level has its floor below ground on all sides, NFIP treats it as a basement, which means the furnace, water heater, sump pump, breaker box, foundation and unfinished drywall are covered, but finished drywall, carpet, tile, wood floors, built-in cabinets and furniture are not.
Call Bountiful City Engineering at (801) 298-6125. The city will tell you your FEMA flood zone, whether you're in a floodway, flood depth and flood history, and can do a site visit. Federally backed lenders require flood insurance in Special Flood Hazard Areas.
Nobody can say until someone has looked at the house. As a national yardstick, HomeAdvisor (17 June 2026) gives an average of $3,868, with most jobs between $1,383 and $6,369. On timing, Fixr (January 2025) says the fans and dehumidifiers run for three days at the least, and putting the room back together can stretch over weeks or months.
Utah DOPL does. Repair, remodel or tear-out work worth $7,000 or more needs a DOPL-licensed contractor. Ask the company for its license number (contractor numbers end in -5501) and look it up at secure.utah.gov/llv.
Have 84010 ready for the recording, then tell the provider what happened.
