In Olympus Cove
Updated FEMA work maps designate the floodplain along Neff's Creek in Olympus Cove as an active alluvial fan, a fan-shaped area where streams deposit silt, sand, gravel, boulders and woody debris and that is prone to sudden, unpredictable flood events. (Neff's Creek Floodplain Info | Millcreek, UT) Homes along the Wasatch Front foothills in Olympus Cove sit within a classic wildland urban interface zone, where higher wildfire exposure calls for extra precautions such as defensible space, ignition-resistant construction and vegetation management.

- Loose handrails, wobbly balusters, lifted threshold strips and rocking stair treads tightened before visitors walk them
- Sticking doors, loose knobs, cabinet doors that swing open and drawers that jam adjusted so everything opens cleanly on a tour
- Last-minute wall patching, touch-up paint and hardware swaps finished and cleaned up in the same visit
How it works
- Start with anything a visitor could trip on or grab: stairs, rails, thresholds and loose steps
- Fix the doors, drawers and hardware buyers will open
- Patch and touch up what shows, then clean up so the house is ready for the agent
- Referred out: dripping faucets or running toilets that need parts inside the plumbing system go to a licensed plumber, and lights or outlets that do not work go to a licensed electrician
