What Makes St. George, Utah Different

St. George sits in the desert of southwest Utah, with very hot summers and mild winters. Rain is rare, but when it comes it can come hard. In January 2005, the Santa Clara River flooded and destroyed homes along its banks in Santa Clara and St. George. Washes that sit dry for years can fill in minutes, so never drive through moving water.

Summer monsoon storms bring sudden downpours, wind and hail. Flat roofs and roof mounted coolers can leak when a storm hits, so check the roof after every big storm. The soil in parts of the area swells when wet and can shift slabs and crack pipes, so keep sprinklers and gutters from soaking the ground next to the house.

Air conditioners run most of the year, and a clogged condensate line or a rusted drain pan can drip into a ceiling. Hard water leaves scale in pipes, fittings and water heaters, which can lead to leaks over time. Check the water heater and supply lines each year, and replace old braided hoses on washers and toilets.
