Hobble Creek
Foothill Springville custom builds. Long runs, roof exits, bird issues.
Hobble Creek is the name for the foothill neighborhoods east of Springville, climbing toward Hobble Creek Canyon. Most homes here are larger custom builds from the 1990s onward, on sloped lots with canyon views. The neighborhood backs up to the actual creek and the canyon, which is great for views and slightly less great for keeping birds out of dryer vents.
Standard Hobble Creek run is twenty to thirty feet through interior walls to a roof exit. The buildup concentrates at the second-floor ceiling bend. The exterior cover is the other recurring issue out here. Bird activity from the canyon habitat takes plastic flaps apart. We replace more vent covers in Hobble Creek than in flatland Springville by a real margin, and the magnetic-flap lifetime-warranty cover is a popular add-on.
