At Apex Restoration, we handle a comprehensive range of disasters that affect Northern Utah properties. Our specialized services include water damage restoration from burst pipes, flooding, and leaks; fire and smoke damage restoration; mold remediation and prevention; storm damage from wind, hail, and severe weather; sewage cleanup and sanitization; and emergency services like board-up and tarping. We also provide complete reconstruction services to restore your property to its pre-disaster condition. With over 20 years of experience in Utah's unique climate, we understand the specific challenges homeowners and businesses face in our region.

Your safety is the absolute priority. First, ensure everyone is safe and evacuate if necessary. If possible, stop the source of damage - shut off water for leaks or electricity for electrical hazards. Never enter standing water if electricity is still on. Avoid hazardous areas like structurally damaged spaces. Then immediately call Apex Restoration at (801) 513-1137. We're available 24/7 and will guide you through the next steps while dispatching our emergency response team. After calling us, you can begin documenting the damage with photos and videos for insurance purposes, knowing that Apex will ensure detailed professional documentation when we arrive to secure your property and begin mitigation.

At Apex Restoration, we offer 24/7 emergency response throughout Northern Utah, from Ogden to Santaquin and Tooele to Coalville. We have a goal of arriving within 60 minutes of your call, though response times can vary based on location and current weather conditions. Our rapid response is crucial because the first 24-48 hours after a disaster are critical for minimizing damage, preventing mold growth, and reducing overall restoration costs. We understand that disasters don't wait for business hours, which is why we're always ready to respond.

Coverage depends on your specific policy and the cause of the damage. Most homeowner insurance policies cover sudden and accidental damage like burst pipes, fires, and storm damage, but coverage varies for different types of disasters. At Apex Restoration, we advocate for you with your insurance company to ensure you receive the maximum coverage available under your policy. We provide detailed documentation, photos, and estimates to support your claim and work directly with your insurance adjuster throughout the process. Please note that we do not interpret insurance policies - we recommend consulting with your insurance agent or company directly for specific coverage questions.

The timeline varies significantly based on the type and extent of damage. Water damage mitigation typically takes about 5 days, while complete restoration can range from several days to several weeks. Fire damage restoration often takes longer due to the complexity of smoke and soot removal. Mold remediation usually takes between a few days and a week. Storm damage repairs can vary widely depending on structural damage. We provide transparent timelines during our initial assessment and keep you informed throughout the process, always working efficiently while maintaining our high-quality standards.

Our comprehensive restoration process at Apex includes several key phases. We start with a thorough assessment to identify all damage and safety hazards. Next comes emergency mitigation - water extraction, board-up services, or roof tarping to prevent further damage. We then remove damaged materials, clean and sanitize all affected areas, and ensure complete drying using industrial-grade equipment. For mold remediation, we also apply antimicrobial treatments and encapsulate affected areas. Finally, we complete structural repairs and restoration work to return your property to its pre-disaster condition, all backed by our 1-year warranty.

Safety depends on the type and severity of damage. For major water damage, fire damage, mold contamination, or sewage events, temporary relocation is often necessary for health and safety reasons. Structural damage, electrical hazards, air quality issues, and potential contaminants create risks that make occupancy unsafe. Our team will assess your specific situation and provide honest recommendations about when it's safe to return. We understand displacement is difficult, which is why we work efficiently to restore your property as quickly as possible while maintaining safety standards.

Costs vary significantly based on the type and extent of damage, required repairs, materials needed, and your insurance coverage. At Apex Restoration, we provide free estimates after our initial inspection and offer transparent pricing with no hidden fees. We work directly with your insurance company to maximize your coverage and minimize out-of-pocket expenses. Our goal is to provide quality restoration services while being mindful of costs, and we'll discuss all options and pricing upfront so you can make informed decisions about your property.

Look for certified professionals with IICRC certification like our team at Apex Restoration. Ensure they offer 24/7 emergency response with rapid arrival times. Choose a company with extensive local experience - we've been serving Utah for over 20 years and understand our unique climate challenges. Check for positive reviews, proper licensing and insurance, and transparent pricing policies. Make sure they advocate for you with insurance companies rather than just work with them. At Apex, we offer free estimates, provide a 1-year warranty on our work, and maintain a focus on both quality restoration and customer advocacy.

Prevention is always better than restoration. Conduct regular maintenance on your roof, plumbing, and appliances. In Northern Utah, pay special attention to winterizing pipes to prevent freeze damage. Install water alarms near water heaters, washing machines, and in basements. Maintain proper drainage around your foundation and clean gutters regularly. Consider installing sump pumps in flood-prone areas. For fire prevention, maintain smoke detectors, practice electrical safety, and create a fire escape plan. Regular inspections can identify potential problems before they become disasters. At Apex, we're happy to provide recommendations specific to your property during our assessments.

Absolutely! At Apex Restoration, we believe prevention is the best protection. Here are our top maintenance recommendations based on over 20 years of experience in Northern Utah:
