On-site fast, day or night. We extract, dry, and rebuild, and we handle your insurance claim from first call to final invoice. IICRC-certified crews, twenty-five years on Utah homes across the Cottonwood canyons.
Brighton sits at nearly 8,700 feet in Big Cottonwood Canyon, making it one of the highest-elevation communities in Utah. The snowpack is massive, the winters are long, and properties here face water damage risks that valley homeowners rarely deal with. Frozen pipes, ice dam damage, canyon creek flooding, and extended vacancy events are all part of life at this elevation. When something goes wrong at a Brighton property, the damage tends to escalate quickly.
Quality Restoration has been serving Utah property owners since 2001. We make the canyon drive to Brighton year-round, 24 hours a day. Our crew knows what frozen pipe events look like at high elevation, how to assess ice dam damage in structures buried under heavy snowpack, and how to handle water events that have been running for days in properties that were between occupants. We show up equipped and ready to work.

The cottonwood canyons geography and Brighton's housing mix create a specific set of water damage risks. Here is what we respond to most.
Brighton's elevation means temperatures that regularly drop to extremes no valley home experiences. Pipes in exterior walls, under sinks near outside walls, and in utility chases that aren't fully insulated are all vulnerable. Even properties with functioning heating systems can have localized cold spots where pipes freeze during severe cold snaps. When a pipe bursts at a Big Cottonwood Canyon condo, the water flows until someone is there to shut it off. That can be a long time.
Brighton receives some of the heaviest snowfall in the Wasatch. When warm air inside a structure melts snow on the roof, the meltwater runs down to the cold eave, refreezes, and traps more water behind it. That backed-up water forces its way under shingles and into the structure. We see ice dam events at Brighton cause water intrusion across multiple rooms and levels of a building. It's not a minor issue at this scale of snowfall.
Big Cottonwood Creek runs through the canyon, and properties near the canyon floor face real flood risk during heavy snowmelt periods. In high-snowpack years, spring runoff can overwhelm creek banks and push water into crawl spaces, lower-level rooms, and utility areas of canyon-bottom properties. This is a risk that doesn't exist for most Salt Lake Valley communities but is a genuine concern for Brighton.
Brighton has a mix of year-round residents and seasonal occupants who use their properties primarily during ski season or summer. An off-season property that experiences a leak or pipe failure may sit undetected for weeks. By the time someone arrives, water has been absorbed by flooring, subfloor, walls, and insulation. Mold begins within 24 to 48 hours. A manageable situation becomes a major restoration project simply because of time.
The weight of accumulated snow on Brighton structures puts real stress on roofing materials, flashing, and connections around chimneys and vents. Seals fail under load, and water finds the gaps. We regularly assess storm-related intrusion at Brighton properties where the owner didn't realize the roof had been compromised until interior damage appeared.
Getting to Brighton means committing to a canyon drive that adds significant time, and in winter, the road conditions can be demanding. We make that drive at any hour because we know what's at stake when water is running unchecked in a high-elevation property. Our crew arrives equipped for the specific conditions in Big Cottonwood Canyon: heavy moisture, cold drying environments, and structures that have often been sitting without heat monitoring.
We also know how to work with property owners who aren't on-site. We can assess and document damage, begin mitigation with authorization by phone, and keep you informed throughout the process even if you're managing everything remotely. Shelton and Nate have built a company that operates the way they'd want a restoration company to operate if it were their own cabin in the canyon. You get a straight answer, a clear plan, and a crew that follows through.
You call (801) 922-9130 and reach a real person. No voicemail, no call centers. We dispatch immediately with an under-60-minute target for Brighton.
We are available 24/7 and typically on-site in Brighton within the hour. Our technicians inspect the affected areas, identify the source, and use thermal imaging and moisture meters to map how far the water has spread before any work begins.
Commercial-grade pumps and truck-mounted extractors remove standing water from floors, carpets, and walls immediately. The faster water is removed, the less structural damage your home sustains.
Industrial air movers and LGR dehumidifiers run continuously for 3-5 days. We monitor moisture readings daily until every surface hits IICRC S500 drying standard. Not "looks dry," dry to spec.
EPA-registered antimicrobials are applied to all affected surfaces. Unsalvageable drywall, flooring, and insulation are removed safely. Everything is documented for your insurance claim from day one.
We rebuild, drywall, flooring, baseboards, cabinetry, trim, and paint, back to pre-loss condition. The same crew that started the job finishes it. One point of contact, no handoffs.
We provide detailed records, photos, and damage reports, and work directly with your adjuster. We handle the paperwork and the calls. Most Brighton homeowners pay only their deductible.
When you discover water damage at a Brighton property, the most important first step is stopping the source. For pipe failures and appliance leaks, that means finding the main water shutoff and turning it off. At most Brighton condos and cabins, the shutoff is located near the water heater, in a utility closet, or at the main entry point of the structure.
Turn off the main water supply to stop any ongoing flow from a pipe or appliance failure.
Stay out of areas with standing water if electrical outlets or panels could be affected.
Do not use a household vacuum to remove standing water.
Move valuables, electronics, and documents to a dry location if you can do so safely.
Take photos of all visible damage before any cleanup begins.
Call Quality Restoration at (801) 922-9130 right away.
If the source is a creek or drainage event, do not enter the structure until you've confirmed there's no structural risk.
A restoration claim is half cleanup, half paperwork. We have handled both for twenty-five years, so you can focus on your family while we handle the process for your Brighton home.
Water damage from a sudden and accidental event, a burst supply line, a water heater failure, an appliance malfunction, is generally covered under standard homeowner's policies. The documentation we provide, thermal imaging reports, moisture logs, complete photo records, and a written scope, is exactly what Brighton adjusters and carriers need to process a claim efficiently.
We work directly with your adjuster from the first call, document the cause and full extent of the damage, and bill your carrier directly. Most Brighton homeowners pay only their deductible. Call (801) 922-9130 for 24/7 emergency response in Brighton.
Full-service restoration for Brighton homeowners: mold, fire and smoke, and sewage cleanup.
Brighton's high moisture environment combined with cold temperatures and seasonal vacancy creates conditions where mold can take hold quickly in water-damaged structures. When a water event goes undetected in a closed cabin or condo, mold can establish itself in walls, insulation, and subfloor before the property owner ever knows there was a problem. Our mold remediation team identifies the full extent of growth, removes affected materials properly, and treats the structure to prevent recurrence. We coordinate mold remediation directly alongside water mitigation so you're working with one company from start to finish.
Heating equipment failures, chimney fires in wood-burning cabins, and electrical issues in older canyon structures all create fire risk at Brighton. The suppression water and smoke residue that follow a fire create additional restoration challenges in a high-elevation environment where drying is already more difficult than in the valley. We handle the full scope of fire and smoke restoration: structural drying, soot and smoke removal, odor treatment, and reconstruction coordination. Brighton's canyon setting also carries wildfire risk. After a canyon slope burns, the soil becomes hydrophobic and sheds water rapidly during the next rain or snowmelt event, sending it toward structures at the canyon bottom. We're experienced with this type of post-fire secondary flooding as well.
Sewage backups require a completely different response than clean water events. Contaminated water is a health hazard that demands professional extraction, decontamination, and restoration with proper containment and EPA-registered disinfectants. Do not attempt to clean a sewage event yourself. Call us immediately at (801) 922-9130 and we will handle it safely, start to finish.
We serve all of Brighton, including the ski resort facilities, condominiums along the canyon road, older cabins, and year-round residential properties throughout the Big Cottonwood Canyon corridor. We also cover surrounding areas of the canyon and work with property managers who oversee multiple units. If your property is in Big Cottonwood Canyon and you're not certain we cover it, call us. The answer is almost certainly yes.

A pipe let go while we were out and flooded into the main floor. Quality Restoration was at the house fast, found moisture we could not see, and dried it to spec. They handled the entire insurance claim, we just paid our deductible.
Real person answered when I called, a crew showed up quickly, and a few days later you could not tell anything had happened. Best money our insurance ever spent.
