1-800 Water Damage of Utah County

• Owner

  • Jul 2018 - Present

  I did it! I purchased a business! Not any business, but a Belfor franchise. I wanted to own my own business for quite some time. I had to find the right opportunity to fulfill my desire to help people in some of their hardest times. About 2 years ago my house flooded from a perfect storm of snow and rain in a very short period of time. The business that helped me restore order was amazing. After a lot of research I decided to be "all in" with this unique opportunity. I searched and found 1-800 Water Damage. What an amazing company and culture. This company rises to the occasion 24/7 to help restore peoples lives when disaster strikes. With my knowledge, work ethic, and passion to help people I joined the 1-800 Water Damage team! Keep an eye out for me on the road. I will be driving the best looking service van on the road grinning ear to ear. -Gerald Show less
