Questions
Do you cover all of South Salt Lake?
Yes, including ZIP 84115. Your callback company double-checks that they cover your address.
How fast can someone come out?
It depends on the day and how many calls come in after a cold snap or a storm. Say in your request if water is still coming in, or if anyone at home has asthma or a weak immune system. The company will tell you when they can come.
Do I get a price first?
Ask for a written scope and price before work starts. With active water, drying often starts on the first visit; ask what the first day will cost and how drying is billed before you sign.
