Water, fire and mold restoration in Sandy.

The housing stock here

Sandy built out hard through the late 1970s, 80s and early 90s, which puts an enormous share of its housing squarely inside the polybutylene era — roughly 1978 to 1995.

How homes in Sandy actually fail

Poly-B does not drip before it fails. The pipe degrades from chlorine exposure and lets go at a fitting, usually all at once, and usually in a wall or a ceiling. If a Sandy home of that vintage still has grey plastic supply lines, the question is when rather than whether — and a failure in an upstairs wall means water through two floors before anyone is home to hear it.

Geography and season

The east-side neighbourhoods below Little Cottonwood sit on the bench and drain fast, but that same slope pushes runoff against uphill foundation walls in a heavy melt.
