What Makes Ogden, Utah Different

Ogden sits at the foot of the Wasatch Mountains, with cold, snowy winters and hot, dry summers. Hard freezes can split pipes in outside walls, garages and sprinkler systems. Blow out sprinkler lines before the first freeze, and know where your main water shutoff is.

Most homes here have basements, and many have window wells. Fast spring snowmelt and summer cloudbursts can fill a window well and push water through the window into the basement. Clear window wells, add covers and keep soil sloped away from the house. Water in a finished basement soaks carpet pad and the bottom of the drywall fast, so start drying the same day.

Strong east winds can blow down out of the canyons and damage roofs, fences and trees along the benches. After a windstorm, check the roof and attic for missing shingles before the next rain or snow. Older homes near downtown were built long before 1978, so test for lead paint and asbestos before a remodel.
