What Our Customers Say

Memo and Jose were super knowledgeable and professional. We ended up not using their services this time as we caught the flooding early, but will be giving them a call if we need in the future!

Came home to a flooded basement on a Sunday night. Called The Flood Company and they were very responsive. Memo and Chris came out within about an hour or so. They inspected the area and got right on extracting what water they could without moving everything out to stabilize the situation. Before they left they explained what would need to happen going forward, answered ally questions, and set up a plan to contact me the next day to make a plan for full restoration pending my contact with the insurance company.

I am extremely pleased with the work and help from Flood Co with the sewer backup into the house. I highly recommend them. Mike, the operations manager, worked with the insurance company, took pictures, and got everything submitted, setup, and scheduled. Memo and Chris F. and crew first came out and did the mitigation, took pictures, and cleanup. They did an outstanding job. There were 2 different Chris's that worked on this project. Chris E. and Josh did the Renovation and did an outstanding and professional job. They worked really hard and I am so thankful for their quality of work. I was really down when with all the problems and mess, but the people from Utah Flood Co made a hard situation so much better. I can honestly say I am so happy with the job they did for us. Thank you, so much!

Mike was very knowledgeable and explained the process very well. Memo and Manny were very professional and took the time to explain the set up, removal of the affected area and gave instructions on follow that is needed. Great experience so far.Update: they had to make a return trip as not everything was dry enough to seal. Chris and Manny came up and finished the job quickly and gave me additional instructions about when to put the Sheetrock back on. Extremely professional and competent. Good communication throughout. Thanks for the great help.

I had the chance to meet and work with Chris today. He was exceptional. He stopped to take the time to talk through all my concerns. And even gave me the pep talk I needed that everything was going to be okay, even with my insurance not being quick to communicate. Couldn't be happier with the quality of Utah Flood Company's team. They are all top notch!

I was corrected and they are still in business. Talked to Daryl and he’s a great guy. Would definitely send work his way if I ever need it.

We had a leak in our roof while we were out of town. Daryl was so helpful and responded quickly so we were able to get our wood floor dried out to avoid damage to the floor. He was very professional and knew exactly what needed to be done.

Gary Hatch

I contact Daryl about wanting to have a mold inspection done in my crawl space. He was incredibly nice and immediately booked at time with me. When he arrived at the house, he carefully did his work, showed me the results of the tests. Thankfully there was no mold. But, even better, he took the time to show me and explain a few areas of concern for the future. Really incredible service. I wish everyone was so professional. I couldn't recommend someone more highly. 5 star!

Daryl with Utah Flood Clean Up, came to inspect a previous roof leak that had left some moisture in our walls. He was very honest about his findings and detailed with the information for removing it! I am a General Contractor and I won’t use anyone else!

Called for some detailed information about mold/removal. Daryl was busy, but called back just a few minutes later and spent time answering ALL my questions. He was very knowledgable and patient. Thank you Daryl.

Sadly, I've had to use Utah Flood Cleanup 4 times in the last year! I really appreciate how quickly they responded to each casualty. They were there right away! Daryl, the owner, gave me a price that was half of the other quote I got, and his men are professionals... not kids who don't have a clue. Plus, he included more "fixes" in his quote for less money. He is very knowledgeable and I felt very confident in his recommendations. He also worked directly with our insurance adjuster so that I didn't have to! I highly recommend this company.

I called Utah Flood Cleanup when I had a leak in the kitchen that drained down into the basement. Daryl came out shortly after speaking to me on the phone! He was friendly, professional and very knowledgeable. He quickly and thoroughly assessed the situation, explaining everything he did as he went along. I was very impressed with how thorough he was in his examination of the damage. He let me know up front what I was looking at and I felt he was very honest and reasonable. I've had other companies out who seem to know very little and just want to start ripping everything out at once! Daryl explained and showed me why he recommended what he did and I felt very comfortable and confident in his recommendations. I highly recommend this company!! You won't be sorry.

We wanted our house checked for mold due to a moderately high mold count in the air sample. They were very thorough and found only one small spot in the bathroom that needed attention. They advised on our options for dealing with it and did not propose expensive and unnecessary repairs.

Josh and Sam came to inspect the mold we found. They were on time, considerate and knowledgeable about our situation. They presented our options and recommendations to treat the issue. I will recommend Utah Disaster to my friends and family.

Jaxon came and assessed water damage in our basement. They were very helpful and went out of their way to make the experience as painless as possible. Very responsive when questions came up and they were never pushy, which I appreciate.

Jaxon was great, he answered his phone at 6:30 am and was out in an hour and got my basement cleaned up

Within the last year we had a major flood in the basement, and just today had another water issue that flooded a smaller portion of the basement. I called The Flood Company immediately and they were on-site within an hour or so. I'm extremely pleased with The Flood Co. The professionalism and expertise demonstrate by Jackson and Sam put my mind at ease, knowing we would be taken care of well. I would recommend The Flood Company to anyone in need of these services. They get a five star rating from us!

My main water line broke and our crawl space was flooding. I called my insurance company and they recommended these guys. Sam and Jesus showed up and got things taken care of. They stopped the water line and put fans to dry the area. The insurance process was super smooth I'm glad I called them!

Utah Flood Cleanup is amazing! Josh and Jesus stopped by after their shift and were kind enough to give us a free inspection of our flood problem. Our little 4 year old thought he'd make a sauna in the bathroom. He flipped the shower on and walked away. We never heard the water running and came upstairs to put my daughter to bed. Sure enough, the shower was pointed into the bathroom and flooded the whole thing. Josh and Jesus came out got the whole place inspected, pulled out themal meters and moisture meters and confirmed there was water damage (and old mold growth from previous spills). They grabbed their tools and began demolishing the floor themselves, right then and there so we could get fans on it to prevent future mold growth. I hope I never have another flood but if I do, I'm definitely calling them again! They're the best!!~~~

I called in the morning and they came that afternoon. Chris and Jesus came. They were professional, polite, knowledgeable and they quickly got the place all cleaned up and prepped for the repair. Then they recommended some handymen to do the repair. I hired Hank and he was great too. Did the whole job in one day.

Alan Green

You showed up to our house based upon little information. When you got here you went right to work looking to see what was going on. With being a family of 7, it can be a scramble being out of a bathroom and no shower. You were excellent and so kind on letting us know what our options are and what you can do to resolve the problem in our basement bathroom. With being in our new home, not even making a second mortgage payment yet, it is hard to discover there is mold and a water leak through out the basement bathroom and laundry room. I really appreciate the time you took out of your day to come to our house. My brother in law referred us to you, and it was the best referral, so thank you very much.

Why Ignoring Mold Costs More Than You Think

Water damage is stressful enough. But when mold sets in, it becomes a much bigger problem. Mold often begins within 24–48 hours of water exposure. It spreads behind walls, under carpets, and into HVAC systems. The longer it goes untreated, the harder and more expensive it becomes to remove.

More importantly, mold is a biohazard. It can trigger asthma, allergies, and long-term respiratory problems, especially in children and older adults. And because it feeds on organic material, mold will quietly destroy structural supports, furniture, and walls if left unchecked.

What this really means is simple: if you see or suspect mold, waiting isn’t an option.

What is Mold?

Mold spreads by airborne spores and can appear in many colors: white, green, brown, pink, orange, or black. Black mold is often feared as the most dangerous, but the truth is that many molds can produce toxins in the right conditions. Mold also gives off a damp, musty odor - one of the first warning signs of its presence.

While mold plays a vital role outdoors by decomposing organic matter, you don’t want it decomposing the studs and beams that hold your house together.

Common areas to check for mold growth include:

1. The basement
2. Under sinks
3. Around doors and windows
4. Bathrooms
5. Attics
6. Behind walls and ceilings
7. Near plumbing lines
8. Under furniture

Tip: Always use exhaust fans in kitchens and bathrooms to reduce moisture buildup.

Why Does Water Damage Always Cause Mold?

If your home floods due to a roof leak, burst pipe, ice damming, or appliance failure, mold is almost guaranteed to follow unless quick action is taken. Mold only needs three things to thrive:

1. Sugar or starch (food source)
2. Oxygen
3. Moisture

Moisture is the variable you can control. Without proper drying, mold will continue to spread year-round, whether it’s hot or cold outside.

Is Mold Hazardous?

Yes. Mold is dangerous to both your health and your home. Spores can travel through the air and circulate via your HVAC system, spreading the infestation throughout the entire property.

Health Risks of Mold Exposure:

1. Chronic coughing or wheezing
2. Sneezing, eye irritation, hay fever-like symptoms
3. Breathing difficulties
4. Severe respiratory reactions in children and the elderly
5. Headaches
6. Fatigue

For those with allergies or long-term exposure, the effects can be much more serious.

Structural Risks of Mold:

Mold consumes organic materials like drywall, insulation, and wood beams. Over time, untreated infestations can weaken the structure of your home.

How to Stop Mold from Water Damage

If water intrusion occurs in your home, quick action is the only way to prevent mold.

Here’s what to do immediately:

1. Shut off your home’s main water valve.
2. Open windows for ventilation.
3. Turn on all fans and dehumidifiers.
4. Remove affected furniture and carpet.
5. Document the damage with photos for insurance.

Then, call professionals to:

1. Perform a complete mold inspection (attics, behind walls, insulation, plumbing lines).
2. Use industrial drying equipment for hidden structures.
3. Complete professional mold remediation to eliminate spores and prevent regrowth.
