Response from UDK - Utah Disaster Kleenup
Thank you for giving Utah Disaster Kleenup a chance to provide you with a free estimate of your flooded basement. UDK uses an industry standard pricing software called "Xactimate." This is the same software that all insurance adjusters use when you file a claim. I am unaware by your comments if you did or did not file a claim, but if you had filed a claim, we would have met with you and your adjuster and agreed on a "scope of work" and a price for the cleanup. This way, you would have only been out your deductible determined by your insurance policy. As a measure of "Good Faith", please call me and I will have someone come out and inspect your cleanup efforts free of charge. - Matt Wright, Chief Marketing Officer (801) 553-1010

UDK actually worked for the HOA as we were debating how the mold came into the condo. UDK was professional, appeared to assess and make recommendations unbiased. They were professional and worked with me as I was privately paying for the services. I would use them again in the future.
Description of Work: Removed mold and cleaned the entire one bedroom condo.

Response from UDK - Utah Disaster Kleenup
Oops! I see we earned a "C" on Price, but an "A" everywhere else. We may not have done a very good job explaining how our pricing works. We use an industry standard pricing software named "Xactimate." It is regulated by the insurance industry with input from General Contractors around the country. All Disaster Restoration companies and insurance carriers currently use Exactimate and you even get an Angie's List Discount on top of that! I hope that clears up the misunderstanding and makes you feel at least a little better about the price, but I know it can't make the issue you went through with your property loss any better. Thank you so much for trusting UDK and I'm glad you were happy with the finished product! Matt Wright Chief Sales & Marketing Officer UDK - Utah Disaster Kleenup

Response from UDK - Utah Disaster Kleenup
Thank you for taking the time to write a review for Utah Disaster Kleenup. You state in your review that "Utah Disaster Kleenup replaced a wall that was destroyed." According to our (and your insurance company's) records, UDK only extracted water, dried existing structure, and completed a small Asbestos abatement which means we removed asbestos containing sheetrock. UDK then wrote you a free estimate to replace all removed materials, paint, and restore to pre-existing condition. You did not chose UDK to complete this phase of your flood loss. I am sorry that your reconstruction contractor did not meet your needs. If we may be of further assistance, please feel free to call me at any time. Matt Wright, Chief Marketing Officer (801) 230-4380.

They were very professional and thorough in their work and came when they were expected. Complications arose and they were unable to finish at the agreed upon time and left the house in an unfinished state for several days while they worked for other clients. They apologized and worked to put us on the schedule and came and finished at the next opening in their schedule.

House was for sale at the time, we had moved. A spring thunderstorm flooded a basement window well and part of the finished basement. Called UT disaster Kleenup based on a web search. They promised rapid response (which they lived up to), and that I would be consulted every step of the way and kept up to date ( which they didn't do). They contacted the real estate agent to get access, dried out the basement and ultimately removed & replaced carpet padding, drywall, insulation moulding and repainted to match. They also dug out the window well and added fresh clean gravel. The work was apparently done quite well ( I haven't been back to UT to see the actual work, but the real estate agent said that it looked good. There was an issue with the disposal of the dirt & gravel they dug out of the window well, but that was apparently taken care of once I e-mailed them and complained. The problem was communications between UT disaster Kleenup and myself. With a few exceptions ( one being when they wanted to get paid) any communication was initiated by me and it took several tries to get a response. Their estimates are easy for THEM to read and perhaps insurance companies, but not me. Their invoice was extremely short on details. Even their billing lady said that was true. I think that IF you were on the scene and able to keep a close eye on them it would be better.
Description of Work: dry up flooding from basement window well, remove & replace drywall, dig out basement window well and add new clean gravel.

Did not accept Disaster Kleenup's proposal.
Description of Work: We got 2 bids to remove wet (and moldy) drywall and carpeting from a large closet. Disaster Kleenup's proposal was almost twice the cost of the other bid ($1645 versus $875). We took the lower bid (from AAA Restoration) and were very happy with our results.

Response from UDK - Utah Disaster Kleenup
[member name removed], Thank you for your post. We appreciate customers who let us know when things aren’t right. I am very pleased to hear your mold problem has been taken care of. With so many options out there today, one has to be careful when hiring a contractor. Especially when the task is to properly mitigate this type of hazardous property loss. With state regulations, required employee certifications and, most importantly, adequate liability insurance, many contractors come up short. We sincerely apologize for the perception that we did not communicate our mold mitigation process effectively. In most cases, discrepancies in price between restoration contractors are the result of discrepancies in the scope of work. The pricing we use comes from an industry software pricing program called Xactimate. This price list reflects the industry standard set forth by both restoration contractors as well as property insurance carriers. In addition to following this price structure, we maintain our competitive edge as the market leaders by staying abreast of the latest technology and providing a service that few property restoration contractors can match. Should disasters happen in your home or property again, please make sure you have the "scope of work" explained to you as it relates to price to ensure you are getting an "apples to apples" comparison. We sincerely thank you for your comments and concerns. Because of you, we can become better at what we do. Matt Wright, Chief Marketing Officer

Smooth experience. They came in, set up, came back a week later, floors and walls were dry. They re-plastered and painted. Done deal. Overall not criticisms to voice.
Description of Work: Insurance covered the bill. There was significant water damage from a broken pipe. Utah Disaster Kleenup new what they were doing. There would be no way anyone would recognize the amount of damage that had occurred. I would use them again.

I was initially hestitant to call because I thought that as professional disaster cleanup service Utah Disaster Kleenup would be too pricey. The estimator was knowledgable and very helpful, not at all pushy.
Description of Work: The problem that we had was with a rental house where the tenant had be harboring 10 cats that were living in the crawlspace under the house. The entire place was saturated with the smell of cat urine. Utah Disaster Kleenup quickly responded in coming out to give us advice and a quote. The were prompt to take care of the job by clearing away all the vapor barrier under the house and using a good neutralizer to get rid of the odor.

I am very pleased with their professionalism and promptness to my phone call.
Description of Work: We had found some small areas of mold in one of our bedrooms. We decided to pull out some of the drywall. When we broke open the wall, I saw black fuzzy stuff inside the wall. I thought it was mold and instantly called several companies. Utah Disaster Cleanup responded within an hour. Based on our situation, they decided we could wait until the next day, which I was ok with. Early the next day they contacted me and send someone in the morning. It ended up being tar paper and not mold. Our serviceman was able to explain why we had mold on our walls and how we could clean up the small amounts of mold we did have to save money. I really appreciate the promptness of their response to my phone call. We have tried to contact many handyman, drywallers, etc and found it very common that they do not return phone calls, which makes their promptness even more helpful. I appreciate the information they gave me about why we had mold. Up to that point no one had been able to explain why it was happening. I will call them again in a heart beat if I need work done.

Response from UDK - Utah Disaster Kleenup
Dear [member name removed], I appreciate your feedback. It helps us understand why you went with another company. Hazardous clean-up of any type whether it is mold, asbestos, or any type of HazMat can be pricey to say the least. I truly hope you received exceptional service and your mold problem has been properly mitigated. Utah Disaster Kleenup utilizes Xactimate price lists which reflect the industry standard set forth by property insurance carriers. Most often, discrepancies in price are the result of a discrepancy in the scope (or amount) of work being performed. UDK DOES NOT cut corners in the area of mold remediation. Should price be your only reason for not selecting us, we would hope you give us a second chance should disasters happen in your home again. Make sure and have each company supplying a "bid" also explain their "scope of work" as it relates to the overall price. Although we do not wish any disaster on anyone, we would like the opportunity to work with you again. Matt Wright, Chief Marketing Officer

Overall, this was a great experience.
Description of Work: I had mold removal and mitigation done. I had to have walls and carpet removed. UDK removed everthing and cleaned the area. They tested the area after three days of cleaning and negative air. The test came back with almost no mold spores! They came out the same day I called for an estimate. They were able to start and finish the job within a week. Other providers were three weeks out. I feel like they really helped me out. I was given the name of a dry wall guy. They would have done the dry wall, but I would have paid them to call the same guy. This saved me a little money. Insurance was not covering this. I am extremely happy with the service and results.

Response from UDK - Utah Disaster Kleenup
[member name removed], We truly appreciate customers that make an effort to help us strive to better communicate what we do. It sounds like we may have fallen short of that goal with you. We sincerely apologize for this and want you to know that we have used your complaint in recent training about the importance of customer communication. We see several home and property owners every week that are set-back by the amount of money proper mold mitigation costs. The cost of mitigation could and would be more affordable if insurance carriers covered this type of loss in their policies, but, many times it leaves the owner with the full cost of remediation. To make matters worse, there are a number of firms that are not properly licensed, certified, and insured to take on the responsibility and liability of this type of hazardous clean-up. We are glad that you did your research and went with a responsible and thorough company. You are correct, the pricing we use is industry standard and, because very expensive equipment is involved, it is difficult to judge the cost by the amount of hours people are working. Again, we appreciate your feedback. Matt Wright, Chief Marketing Officer

I first called Utah Disaster Kleenup as a follow-up to a house inspection I was purchasing to inspect some possible mold growth near a drainage pipe in the basement. No mold was found. Fast forward a few days to the day I moved into my new house - I discovered large amounts of water on the floor of my carpeted basement. It turns out that the drainage pipe for a water purifier was not properly secured in its proper hole, which resulted in a big mess when the purifier drained in the middle of the night before move-in. The carpet was saturated in several rooms, and ultimately, new mold growth was discovered between walls after the floors were finally dried. Keith, the manager, personally came up to inspect the damages. Though the previous owner was ultimately at fault for failing to re-secure the pipe (or, alternatively, giving instructions to the technician performing the original inspection - it was an awkward configuration at best, at not intuitive), they arranged to perform all the cleanup work at a significantly reduced price in order to resolve the issue. The previous owner payed for the balance of the bill, which in total was approximately $1000. At all times during the cleanup activities, Keith and his team were timely, professional, and thorough. I would highly recommend using them for future cleanup/repair work.
Description of Work: Over several visits, various team members performed the following: -Inspection of water damage-Mold testing-Water cleanup-Carpet pad removal-Wall tear-out-Drywall replacement, texturing, painting-Carpet pad replacement-Carpet deep cleaning

We paid the insurance the deductible. They did a good job. They came immediately, and they were pretty careful with things. The only thing I didn't like is once we paid them, they were supposed to come back and finish the carpet. They never came back once they were paid. They haven't come back yet. Other than that, they were really good. I don't know what to compare with their price.

Naomi has been so good. We had some problems getting the room ready for them, and she was fine with waiting for us to get ready. We are doing the job in two phases, because we had two different flood problems. They were on time. They did the job so quickly that we couldn't believe they had finished. The room looks great. You can hardly see where they put the new drywall in. When the guy dragged out his machinery, he cleaned the stairs to make sure they were clean. I thought that was extra special. Naomi is the one that comes out to do the estimates. She is just fabulous. She was on time in sending the estimates. She was patient in letting us take extra time to get ready for them to come. I don't have any negative things to say about them at all. They were there within a week.
Description of Work: They helped with the first phase of cleaning up some flood damage. A toilet leaked water into the bedroom. We have another issue where water came up around the windows that they will be taking care of later.
