What applies across Utah
Utah's construction trades licensing act exempts alteration, repair, remodeling or improvement work on a building with a contracted or agreed value under $7,000, labour and materials included, but only subject to other limits in the statute. Plumbing and electrical work within that exemption must still be done by a licensed plumbing or electrical contractor, and heating, ventilation or air-conditioning (HVAC) work must be done by a licensed HVAC contractor.
Under the same Utah licensing exemption, if the total project value is greater than $3,000, the person must file a one-time affirmation with the Division of Professional Licensing that they have public liability insurance and, if applicable, workers compensation insurance.
The Utah Insurance Department says most standard homeowners policies do not cover interior storm water damage when the roof or walls are undamaged, flood damage, or water damage from backed-up drains or sewers. Some insurers offer endorsements, which are extra protection bought separately, for certain coverages.
The Utah Department of Health and Human Services' environmental public health tracking page says moisture sources for indoor mold include flooding, leaking pipes, leaking roofs and foundations, and condensation. It says the key to preventing and stopping indoor mold growth is controlling excess moisture.
