Oakwood Hills sits along the east bench of Holladay with many mid-century brick and rambler homes built between the 1950s and 1970s. These properties back up to steeper slopes that funnel snowmelt and runoff toward foundations each spring. Renewcrest Guild operates from 6245 Highland Dr and reaches Oakwood Hills streets within minutes, bringing extraction and drying equipment suited to the tight lots and older plumbing common here.
Winter freezes along 6200 South and Highland Drive frequently split supply lines in crawl spaces and garages. Once temperatures climb, water migrates under slab floors and into finished basements. Our crews know which Oakwood Hills blocks sit on clay-heavy soil that holds moisture longest and adjust drying plans accordingly before mold sets in.
Summer thunderstorms can overwhelm older storm drains near the neighborhood's western edge, sending water across driveways and into lower-level rooms. We keep dehumidifiers and air movers staged at our Holladay base so response stays quick even when Salt Lake County roads are wet.

Water Damage Restoration in Oakwood Hills — Local Notes
- •Oakwood Hills lots are narrow with shared driveways, so we stage equipment on the street and run hoses through side yards to avoid blocking neighbors.
- •Many homes here have original cast-iron drains that crack when roots from mature maples push in during wet winters.
- •South-facing slopes above Oakwood Hills accelerate snowmelt in February and March, sending water straight into daylight basements along lower streets.
- •Clay subsoil in this pocket of Holladay holds water longer than the sandy soils found closer to Cottonwood Heights, requiring extended drying times after extraction.
