We bring showroom-quality flooring to the rapidly growing communities of Daybreak, The District, and beyond. Specialized in new construction and basement finishes.
Moisture-testing experts for new concrete slabs.
South Jordan is a hub of new construction and family-centric living. From the master-planned porches of Daybreak to the custom estates near the Jordan River Temple, the homes here require flooring that balances modern aesthetics with extreme durability.
At South Valley Flooring, we specialize in the specific needs of South Jordan homeowners. We understand that "new" doesn't always mean "perfect." Builder-grade installations often need upgrading, and new concrete foundations require careful handling to prevent future flooring failures.
Finishing a basement is one of the most popular projects in South Jordan. But basements present unique challenges:
Modern homes demand modern tile. We see a huge demand for 24x48 and even 48x48 porcelain tiles in entryways and kitchens. These massive tiles leave zero margin for error. A subfloor that is even slightly uneven will cause "lippage" (edges sticking up).
Our team uses the Russo or Tuscan leveling systems—clips and wedges that mechanically lock tiles flat while the mortar cures. The result is a glass-smooth floor that looks like a seamless slab of stone.
South Jordan is family territory. Kids, dogs, sports gear—your floor takes a beating. While we love real hardwood, we often steer active families toward:
New concrete takes time to cure and release moisture—typically 30 days per inch of thickness. In South Jordan's new developments, we always perform a Calcium Chloride or RH probe test to ensure the slab is dry enough. If it's too wet, we apply a commercial-grade moisture barrier.
Basements in Daybreak often sit on clay-heavy soil. We strongly recommend Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) with an attached cork or foam underlayment. It provides warmth, is 100% waterproof, and handles the minor settling of a new foundation better than rigid tile.
For active South Jordan families, LVP is the clear winner. While laminate is scratch-resistant, it swells if water is left on it. LVP is waterproof and nearly indestructible, making it perfect for mudrooms and play areas.
Yes. Many builders use standard pre-finished oak or maple. We can source the exact manufacturer or finding a compatible width and species, then sand and refinish the entire area to make it look like a seamless, custom installation.
Yes. Large format tiles are popular in modern homes. However, they require a perfectly flat subfloor to prevent cracking. We use self-leveling systems to ensure a flawless, lip-free installation.
Absolutely. We can install electric radiant heat mats over your concrete slab before laying tile or compatible engineered wood. It's an efficient way to make a basement feel cozy year-round.
For home gyms, we recommend heavy-duty rubber rolls or interlocking rubber tiles. They absorb impact and reduce noise. We can install this directly over concrete.
Once the concrete is prepped, we can typically install 1500 sq ft of LVP or carpet in 2-3 days. Tile or glued-down hardwood will take longer (5-7 days) due to drying times.
Yes, provided we perform the moisture testing and apply any necessary mitigation systems. We stand by our installation for the life of the floor, assuming normal household conditions.
Since we are often cutting indoors during basement finishes, we use HEPA-filtered vacuum saws and seal off the stairwell to prevent dust from migrating to the upper levels of your home.
