West Haven incorporated in 1991 by joining the farm communities of Kanesville and Wilson, and it has grown roughly tenfold since, from about 2,200 people in 1990 to more than 24,000. Nearly all of that is new subdivisions on flat ground west of Ogden, and the confluence of the Weber and Ogden rivers sits inside the city's northeast corner. This is old lakebed. The water table rises close to the surface every spring, and builders here put in sump pumps and drain tile as a matter of course.
New houses fail in new ways. A PEX fitting lets go, a builder-grade water heater rusts out at year eight, and a sump pump installed with the house wears out in the year the runoff is heaviest.
This site connects West Haven homeowners with an independent local water damage provider by phone. The provider meters the basement first, because that is where the water is.
A pump that quit or fell behind while the rivers were high is sump pump failure cleanup, and the drying runs long because the soil outside stays saturated. A basement that took water from the pit and a window well at the same time is basement flooding cleanup. River or canal water that reached the house is flood cleanup, and the carpet it touched does not get saved.
Rebuild permits for plumbing, wiring, and framing go through the City of West Haven, which also posts runoff notices when the two rivers are up. During the record snowmelt of spring 2023 the lower Weber ran high for weeks, and the pumps on these lots ran with it.

Standing water pumped out of a basement, kitchen, or family room, then meter readings to see how far it soaked in.
Water pulled out of a finished or unfinished basement, wet carpet and drywall sorted, and the walls dried on readings.
Air movers and dehumidifiers run until framing, subfloor, and drywall reach dry targets, checked by meter, not by touch.
Water removed after a pump quit, lost power, or fell behind during spring runoff, then the basement dried past the pit.
Cleanup after a line froze and split in a garage wall, crawl space, or unheated corner, then drying what the thaw soaked.
A tank that rusted through in a basement utility room and the flooring, drywall, and storage it soaked.
The rooms, ceilings, and floors a failed supply line reached, extracted and dried once the water is shut off.
Muddy river or runoff water pumped out of a home, contaminated materials removed, and the structure cleaned and dried.
