Disaster Risk Insurance Coverage. How to Hire a Preferred Vendor?

Why Shouldnโ€™t I Hire My Insurance Companyโ€™s Preferred Vendor?ย ย 

Most people think of flooding as a disaster that must be due to a massive weather event. Many may find it hard to imagine how home flooding can happen in Utah. But, it happens all the time. Inside homes, Utah residents experience flooding that requires water damage restoration services. No, itโ€™s not the kind of vast regional flooding we see on national news. But entire homes are sometimes damaged or destroyed due to floods.

A Deep Cleaning Solution!

Signs That Your Carpet Needs a Professional Deep Cleaning

Carpets provide a certain ambiance to rooms within a house. They also are warmer to walk on than other types of flooring are. These are the main reasons so many homeowners use carpet in their homes. However, with all the foot traffic that carpets endure throughout a year, they need professional deep cleaning from time to time. How can you tell if your carpet needs this type of cleaning? Check out our answer in the following information.

Stains Return

Stains that return even though you have removed them with a home unit for carpet cleaning is a clear indication that you need a professional carpet cleaning. These return because stains seep deep down into the fibers of the carpet and even into the pad. Unless you remove the stains all the way through to the pad, they resurface after a short time.

Pet Odors

Only professional cleaning will remove pet odors from carpets. Certain types of these odors will linger for years unless the right method is used on the carpet to remove them. Urine odor is just one example of these odors.

Kids

Kids will spill and grind substances into carpeting that are difficult to remove by home methods. These substances could ruin carpets if not removed correctly. However, a professional will know the right methods for removing these substances.

Removes Bacteria and Allergens

North Ogden CleanupProfessional cleaning will remove additional bacteria and allergens than home methods will from the carpet. If you suffer from allergies to various substances such as dust and pollen, it is important that you have a deep cleaning performed on your carpets periodically throughout the year.

Appear New

You wish to make your carpet appear new once again. A professional cleaning removes the stains and other unwanted substances from carpets to rejuvenate its appearance. It could appear as it did on the first day it was installed in the house in many cases.

Easier Maintenance

Easier maintenance is the last reason that your carpet needs a deep cleaning. It is easier to keep the carpet in ideal condition in between professional cleanings than it is without these in-depth cleanings.

Does your carpet need a professional deep cleaning today? If it does, feel free to call upon our services at (801) 416-2666. We will be glad to come to your rescue. At Utah Flood Cleanup guarantees your satisfaction. All of our staff members are highly trained to fulfill your needs.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.
