The Guarantee
True Day Water Damage Restoration will arrive at your South Jordan address within 45 minutes of your emergency call to (385) 247-9359. If we miss it under normal conditions, your emergency inspection is free.What We Guarantee
Typical arrival times from our South Jordan dispatch
- South Jordan~15 min
- West Jordan~20 min
- Riverton~25 min
- Bluffdale~25 min
- Herriman~30 min
- Draper~35 min
Times are typical door-to-door from the moment our live dispatcher takes your emergency call. Weather, I-15 conditions, and time of day may extend them.
Where the Guarantee Applies
The 45-minute arrival guarantee applies to any address inside the South Jordan, Utah city limits.What Counts as Arrival
If We Miss the 45-Minute Window
Exclusions โ When the 45-Minute Window May Not Apply
These exclusions describe conditions outside our reasonable operational control. In each case, we still respond as fast as conditions allow, and we document the delay in the dispatch log.How This Guarantee Is Verified
Every emergency call to (385) 247-9359 is time-stamped at call connect and at technician on-site arrival. The arrival-time dataset for South Jordan emergency jobs is published once the dataset accrues at /24-7-response-south-jordan/ alongside the live-answer rate from anonymous test calls. Published data includes:- Count of South Jordan emergency jobs in the month
- Average arrival time in minutes
- Longest arrival time for the month
- Percentage of jobs within the 45-minute window
- Any exclusion-period delays with one-line context
How the Guarantee Interacts with Insurance
The 45-minute arrival guarantee is True Day’s commitment, not your insurer’s. The emergency inspection remedy applies between you and True Day; it does not change coverage terms with your insurance carrier. On covered claims, your insurer pays the Xactimate-approved scope regardless of our arrival time. On uncovered work or coverage gaps, our free-inspection remedy applies to the inspection fee only.Changes to These Terms
If we materially change this guarantee โ the window, the service area, the remedy, or the exclusions โ we update this page with a new effective date and keep prior versions available on request. The version in effect for your job is the version published on the date you call us.Effective date: October 1, 2026 ยท Service area: South Jordan, Utah (ZIP 84095, 84009) ยท Audit: /24-7-response-south-jordan/

While we’re on the way: a 60-second safety checklist
The first 15 minutes matter. Here’s what to do (and not do) between the call and our arrival.
Do, if safe to do so
- Shut off the water supply at the main valve if you can reach it dryly
- Flip the circuit breaker for any affected room before touching outlets or appliances
- Take phone photos and a short video of the damage โ insurance will want them
- Lift what you can off wet floors: electronics, rugs, cardboard boxes, important paper
- Open interior doors to let airflow begin on its own
- If a ceiling is sagging under water, back out of that room and warn others
Don’t
- Walk through standing water near plugged-in electronics or appliances
- Use a household vacuum to extract water โ it is not rated for it
- Pull up tacked-down carpet or glued flooring yourself; your insurance will need to see it in place
- Run the HVAC in the affected area โ you’ll spread contamination
- Use bleach on visible mold before we inspect โ it masks what we need to find
- Throw away damaged items before documenting them
What 45 minutes actually looks like
The 45-minute arrival guarantee is a timed window with real stages. Here is what each minute represents.
Your call
Live-answered at (385) 247-9359. Not a voicemail, not a national dispatcher. We get the address, the water source, and the category on the line.
Crew assignment + dispatch
The on-call tech is paged with your address, scope, and category. Michael is paged on anything Cat 2 or Cat 3. We can start your insurance claim with you on the line if you have not yet.
En route from the office
Truck leaves our South Jordan office at 11268 S 2865 W, loaded with the right extraction and drying equipment for the category we were briefed on โ not a one-size kit.
Travel inside South Jordan
Direct route, no stops. Inside South Jordan city limits, we commit to being on your porch no later than minute 45. We call when we are 10 minutes out.
Boots on the ground
Inspection starts. FLIR thermal, moisture meters, scope photos, written estimate. Emergency mitigation begins under carrier authority so the loss stops getting worse.
What can delay us: declared snowstorms with road closures, state DOT emergency closures, a simultaneous Cat 3 event (we are honest about one crew = one job at a time). We call you the moment we know a delay is coming โ you are never left guessing.
Where we actually go, and how fast
We will not claim to serve a city if we cannot respond in a reasonable window. Here is our real coverage.
South Jordan โ primary coverage with the 45-minute arrival guarantee
Our office is at 11268 S 2865 W, South Jordan, UT 84095. Every address inside South Jordan city limits is covered by our 45-minute arrival guarantee, 24/7/365.
Riverton, Herriman, West Jordan โ adjacent coverage
Full service, 24/7, with a slightly longer response window because of the drive. We have active case studies in all three cities. Call us and we will confirm the estimated time to your address.
Secondary coverage โ Sandy, Salt Lake City, Draper, Bluffdale, Cottonwood Heights, Daybreak, Syracuse
We have taken jobs in these cities, especially when a case is referred by an insurance adjuster or past customer. Response times run longer and we only commit when we have crew availability. Call (385) 247-9359 before assuming we are available.
If your city is not listed, we are honest: ask us for a referral to a certified firm closer to you. A long-haul response time helps no one in an active water loss.
Call now, or call when you can? โ a severity triage
Honest guidance on how urgent your situation actually is. Not everything is a 2am emergency.
Active gush or burst
Visible flowing water, more than a trickle. The clock is running on every square foot of material that sits in it. Call (385) 247-9359 and shut your main valve while we’re en route.
Standing water pooled on floors
Any depth, any area. Even if you’ve stopped the source, the material underneath is absorbing by the minute. Mold risk starts at hour 24.
Sewage or Cat 3 water, any amount
Pathogen exposure risk + much more aggressive degradation than clean water. Stay out of the affected room until we arrive. Call us at the first business hour if it happens overnight; call now if occupants are vulnerable (immunocompromised, pregnant, young children).
Visible water stain, dry to the touch
Old stain or very small leak that has stopped. Not an emergency. Schedule a free inspection this week so we can confirm it’s actually dry and check for hidden mold or structural concerns.
Musty smell, no visible source
Possible hidden leak or past-event mold. Not an emergency, but worth a FLIR + moisture inspection within a week. Smell doesn’t resolve itself โ the source is somewhere.
Water bill spike, no visible cause
Run the 15-minute meter test first (see hidden-leak page). If the meter is moving with everything off, call us. If it is still, your bill may be a utility billing error โ call the water utility, not us.
Past loss, already dried out โ peace-of-mind check
You dealt with it yourself but want pros to confirm nothing is hiding. Call during business hours; schedule a paid inspection ($0 for True Day customers; nominal fee for first-time).
If you are not sure which row you are in, call (385) 247-9359. 30 seconds on the phone tells us whether to roll a truck or set a 10am appointment.
What happens when you call after hours
“Live-answered 24/7” is the claim โ here is the actual process so you know what you are hearing on the line.
Business hours โ you reach us directly
The office line goes to Michael, a crew member, or dispatch. Live-answered inside 3 rings during the business day.
Vetted third-party answering service
The call is answered live by a licensed answering-service operator who takes your name, address, and a brief scope. You are told on pickup that you are speaking to the answering service โ we don’t impersonate the office.
On-call tech paged
Operator pages the True Day on-call tech with your contact info and scope. For Cat 2 or Cat 3 water, biohazard, or fire โ Michael is paged too.
Callback from the on-call tech
The actual True Day tech who will come to your house calls you back directly and sets the arrival. If 15 minutes passes with no callback, call (385) 247-9359 again and tell the operator you have not been reached โ they escalate to Michael personally.
Why not direct-to-cell? We are 5 people. If every after-hours call went to Michael’s personal phone, we would miss half of them. The answering service is a hand-off, not a wall โ the 15-minute callback is the actual service level.
Response time by city โ real minute-ranges from our office
Measured from 11268 S 2865 W, South Jordan, UT 84095. Published numbers are based on actual arrival times logged this year, not aspirations.

What our 45-minute guarantee actually looks like by city
Any restoration company that claims a flat 45-minute response across the entire Salt Lake Valley is making a promise their trucks can’t keep. We publish the real numbers โ tiered by distance from our South Jordan dispatch point โ because an arrival time that fails is worse than an arrival time that was realistic to begin with.
| Service Area | Drive from 11268 S 2865 W | Our Written Commitment | Guarantee tier |
|---|---|---|---|
| South Jordan ยท Daybreak ยท all 20 named SJ neighborhoods | 0-6 miles | On site within 45 minutes, 24/7, from the time you reach a live person at (385) 247-9359. | 45-MIN GUARANTEE |
| Riverton ยท Herriman ยท West Jordan ยท Bluffdale | 4-10 miles | On site within 60 minutes, 24/7. Rush-hour deliveries (4-6pm weekdays) may add 10-15 minutes; dispatcher will tell you on the call. | 60-MIN COMMITMENT |
| Draper ยท Sandy ยท Midvale ยท Cottonwood Heights | 8-14 miles | On site within 75 minutes, 24/7. We stage equipment in these cities seasonally during freeze and monsoon periods to pull the time down. | 75-MIN COMMITMENT |
| Salt Lake City ยท Taylorsville ยท Murray ยท Holladay | 11-18 miles | On site within 90 minutes, 24/7. Dispatcher confirms the exact ETA on the call based on traffic and crew position. | 90-MIN COMMITMENT |
| Outside the 20-mile ring (we don’t push past this) | 20+ miles | We’ll take the call, give an honest ETA on the phone (usually 2+ hours), and refer you to a closer IICRC Certified Firm if waiting isn’t worth it. Honesty beats a slow truck. | PHONE-ETA ONLY |
Our response-time commitment, measured and published once the dataset accrues
A 45-minute arrival guarantee is only as good as the measurement behind it. Starting with the current month, we are logging two numbers on every emergency call and will publish the rolling average on this page once the dataset accrues โ so the claim stays honest even when nobody’s looking.
How the measurement works
- Call timestamps come from our phone system log (CallRail), not from the dispatcher writing down a time.
- Dispatch time is the moment the job ticket is pushed to the on-call tech’s phone.
- Arrival time is the moment the tech checks in through the field app on arrival.
- Travel delays caused by the homeowner (unable to reach the property, locked gate, requested a specific arrival window) are logged separately and excluded from the measurement.
- Weather-related delays (declared NWS event: blizzard, flash flood, red-flag warning) are logged separately with a note on the published summary โ honesty beats a flat average that hides a legitimate storm.
How calls to (385) 247-9359 are answered
- Business hours
- Calls reach True Day staff directly in our South Jordan office.
- After hours, weekends, holidays
- Calls route to a professional live answering service โ a real person picks up, takes the details of your emergency, and dispatches the on-call technician. No voicemail trees, no automated hold queues.
- One number, no routing games
- (385) 247-9359 is the only number we publish, and it is the same number on our site, our Google Business Profile, our BBB listing, and every citation. We do not use a different “call tracking” number per channel.
- Call recording
- Incoming calls are recorded for quality and training under Utah’s one-party-consent law. Recordings are retained for 24 months and deleted on request.
If a call to us is ever genuinely missed, we return it inside the hour.
