Neighborhoods closer to the foothills, like Edgemont and Grandview, deal with snowmelt runoff that older grading wasn’t always built to handle. Homes nearer the Provo River and Utah Lake sit at the other end of the moisture spectrum, with naturally higher ambient humidity working against crawl spaces and older HVAC systems.
An inspection accounts for where the house actually sits, not just what’s growing on the wall. Two homes a mile apart can have very different moisture sources, and the fix only works if it targets the right one. That’s why we walk the property first rather than starting with an assumption based on the neighborhood alone.
