Mold Removal in Lindon, UT

Mold in Lindon

Lindon sits between Orem and Pleasant Grove, about seven miles north of Provo, with about 12,000 residents. It is the smallest city in the service area, and it has a different feel from the rest of the valley: larger lots, older homes, and a mix of residential and agricultural land. The housing stock is mostly single-family homes on larger lots, many from the 1970s and 1980s, with finished basements and crawlspaces.

Mold in Lindon is mostly a finished-basement and crawlspace story. Homes from the 1970s and 1980s have basements that were finished decades ago, and the wall cavity behind the drywall has had years to collect condensation. Older homes with a crawlspace often have no vapor barrier, and the bare ground under the house puts moisture into the joists. The first sign is a musty smell, not a stain — and by the time a stain appears, the growth is usually well established.

The larger lots in Lindon mean more irrigation, and irrigation lines that leak against the foundation are a common finding. A line that leaks for a season puts water into the wall cavity over months, and the growth is found only when the smell reaches the room. The inspection checks the grading, the irrigation lines and the wall cavity together.

Where mold hides in Lindon homes

The established neighborhoods of Lindon are where most of the mold work is. A basement wall cavity that has collected condensation for years, a crawlspace without a vapor barrier, and an irrigation line that leaks against the foundation are the three findings that come up again and again. Each one puts water where it should not be, and each one is found by the inspection.

The larger lots also mean more outbuildings and more plumbing runs, and a leak in a line that runs to a detached garage or a garden can put water into the ground near the house. The inspection checks the grading and the irrigation lines outside, and the wall cavity and the crawlspace inside, because the water can come from any of them.

Lindon and the towns around it

Lindon sits between Orem to the south and Pleasant Grove to the north, with Provo about seven miles to the south and American Fork further north along the east bench. Each of those cities has its own page, with its own moisture drivers and its own housing stock.

Lindon is the smallest city in the service area, and the provider who serves it also serves Orem to the south and Pleasant Grove to the north. The larger lots mean more irrigation, and the inspection often starts with the irrigation lines and the grading, because a line that leaks against the foundation is the finding that comes up most often here.
