The city declared both homes in Hidden Canyon Estates “unfit for human habitation” due to dangerous conditions in soil shifting and breaks in the homes’ foundations.
No one was injured in the collapse, but at least one of the homes still contained some of the homeowners’ personal belongings.
“[My mom] kept all of her work stuff in there and then all of our baby pictures and scrapbooks and all of those really sentimental items were in her office, that we were actually going to go collect today,” Wardlow said Saturday. “We were going to go break into the house because none of the doors could open because of the shifting.”
Although the homes had foundation concerns prior to Utah’s record-setting season for snowpack, officials are still concerned about ground stabilityEngineers this morning issued evacuation orders for two additional houses — those on each side of the two homes that collapsed. The residents of those homes are evacuating today, officials said.
