What Our Clients Are Saying
Chris came out to evaluate the damages from a leak. Can’t say enough great things! He was able to get out quickly and patient with all of our questions.
Memo and Chase came to do an inspection for me and were very knowledgeable and prompt. Great experience!
These guys are the best!! We called them at 8:30pm with a flooded basement and they were at our house within an hour! They got to work and we're great sports! Everyone we worked with was super friendly and hard working! Especially, but not limited to, Isaac and his team, Chris, and Jacob! 10 out of 10! Would recommend! They are great!
Memo and his team were professional, efficient, and made an otherwise stressful water damage situation stress-free!"
Memo was very insightful and helpful in diagnosing questions on a property we were considering!
We are so grateful for taking the time explaining the work needed!!! Both Memo and Isaac are very nice and fast.
The Flood Co has been a lifesaver. I found their name through an AI search, which recommended them as #1 mold remediation company in the Park City/Heber area. We had discovered some mold in our downstairs storage area last Thursday, and they had someone come out the very next morning on Friday to assess the situation.They then scheduled a team to come first thing Monday morning to remove the flooring and drywall. Everyone they sent was very friendly, professional and high knowledgeable. They neatly sheeted everything off, installed a dehumidifier and fans, and covered our carpeting so nothing would be damaged. I love that they help with the problem from start to finish - they’re providing me with a foundation company to find the source of the moisture, and will them help me put the walls and flooring back together when everything is dry and clear. Highly recommend them for anyone who’s dealing with a water or remediation problem!
Chris and José were excellent at identifying the problem, making sure that we understood the process, and containing the issue until we could get it fixed. I will update this once we get everything resolved. Thank you
Jacob and Jose did a great job in my house. They worked efficiently and completed the job much quicker than expected. They were courteous and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend this company and these workers.
Fast response time, excellent communication, diagnostic was perfect, and do professional! I hope we don’t have any more water issues inside but if we do they will be our first call!!
Jacob was great! Responded very quickly to our home emergency. Got things set up to immediately start mitigating everything.
Jacob was amazing. The whole group at Flood Co. were so responsive and helpful in taking care of the smoke damage to my parents condominium. They came the same day I called to do a walk-through of the apartment and we put together a plan. By the next day they were removing the rugs to have them cleaned, cleaning all the upholstery and starting an ozone treatment. When that was finished, they came back and helped get the last remnants of the smell out of the unit. Highly recommend them.
Quick response time. Meno & Chris were great, explained everything and were super honest
I’d recommend these guys anywhere, especially if you go through Kenzie. I’ve been on multiple job sites with them and seen great work, I’ve also had to use them for a friends house that flooded and they showed up at 10pm and started mitigating on a weekend. Super impressed.
The team at Flood Co. are awesome! They were out here so fast, let me know exactly what needed to be done and helped get the water cleaned up immediately. They were here and finished before the other company I called first even called back.
I was lost on who to call when my basement bedroom flooded. My neighbors also had floods and I saw Flood Co vans parked outside their homes. I called and had someone at my door within 20 minutes. They came in did an assessment and even offered to clear my bedroom out for me. They came in quickly went to work taking care of the flooding, assessing the damages and brought fans in. They helped me pack up my room, took all the garbage away for me and moved furniture and boxes out. They were great to work with and had great attitudes.
Memo & Chris came to my home today and spent so much time answering all my questions thoughtful and with expertise. I was very impressed with their knowledge and advice.
Mold inspection was a breeze. Memo was very knowledgeable, professional, and friendly.
Chris and Jose were the first ones to come to my house when there was a water leak. They both eased my anxiety about the situation and were very informative of the drying out process. Chris gave me his phone number and said to call or text any time. I did text him a few times and he answered my questions and responded in a timely manner. I appreciated their time and help.
I had them come out to look at mold in my basement. They came quickly and got it all cleaned up with great suggestions on how to prevent it. Memo was great! Very knowledgeable and friendly.
Mike and team were fantastic to work with. That navigated our very difficult insurance and advocated for us. The work was impeccable and fast. I would use them again and recommend them to anyone.
Chris came out on a holiday to help me out. He was friendly, informative and fast.
Mimo has been doing a great job. He explains everything they are doing. He is also sympathetic about the situation
I know Kenzie personally, but this experience truly highlighted just how incredible she and The Flood Co. are. When my friend’s crawl space unexpectedly flooded, we spent hours trying to handle it ourselves, hoping we could get the water out without calling for help. After realizing it was more than we could manage, we reached out to Kenzie—late on a Saturday night. Without hesitation, she immediately got to work and had a professional team at my friend’s house within the hour. Their response time alone was impressive, but what stood out even more was their professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care during a very stressful situation. They explained everything clearly, worked efficiently, and made sure the job was done right. The Flood Co. truly goes above and beyond for their clients. We were incredibly grateful for their help and peace of mind, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kenzie and her team to anyone needing flood or water mitigation services.
We used them for a property we manage and they did a fantastic job airing out the flooded area. They were easy to get in contact with, quick to respond and very professional. Would recommend!
Memo and Christopher were professional, discreet and knew how to handle the most sensitive of situations. I highly recommend.
This is a very professional company that worked with my insurance company. They were very prompt, efficient and did very good work. I would recommend!
Chris and the team did a fantastic job with our apartment. They were on time, very communicative, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend their services!!
Memo was terrific! He took extra time with us to help diagnose issues and was very helpful.
We had an urgent leak and mold situation, and we couldn't be happier with the service provided by Memo! He was incredibly helpful and showed amazing dedication by coming out late on a Friday evening to assess the problem. He gave us a thorough assessment, clearly explained the next steps, and patiently answered all of our questions. We felt informed and relieved knowing what the remediation plan was. He's currently helping us schedule the repair time. Highly recommend this company for their informative staff and commitment to service.
Memo and chris were really nice and professional! Were in and out in no time. Would definitely recommend!
Memo was awesome. He communicated everything very well. He responded quickly and got the job done well.
Memo did a great job! Answered all questions, walked me through everything, and kept me informed with next steps. He was great to work with!
Quickly came and helped me understand what we were dealing with. Always called before they came and came when they said they would. Did great work. Extremely satisfied with our experience with the Flood Company. Thanks Jose, Memo, and Rene
I run my own handyman business doing home repairs and I appreciate The Flood Co. for their ability to be prompt and punctual and having them take a look at a basement that I was called on to repair following some flood damage. I appreciate getting a second opinion on the status of the client’s basement before starting repairs to make sure all was OK. Chris and Memo were right on time and were helpful with an assessment of the basement. Thank you!
The FLOOD co. Has been fabulous to work with! They have been so efficient. We had awful long flowing water damage and some mold. They cut everything out and left air scrubbers to keep us safe. I was shocked at how clean they left everything too! Very impressed with their employees. We are all set for the next phase of putting things back together!
Memo did an outstanding job, very professional, incredibly thorough, punctual and lightning fast! Just the start of my water damage repair but so far I’m very impressed with the Flood Company!
Chris is awesome. He came over right away and explained everything that needed to be done. Highly recommend!
The consultation with Memo from the Flood Co. was excellent. He arrived right on time and was very professional and courteous. He thoroughly assessed our water damage and took the time to explain the full restoration process and what to expect with our insurance claim. He was knowledgeable and made us feel confident that we're in good hands. Highly recommend!

Frequently Asked Questions
Salt Lake County’s harsh winters complicate fire damage restoration by introducing freezing temperatures that can cause firefighting water to freeze and expand within structures. This secondary damage, known as freeze-thaw, creates additional structural challenges and can worsen damage to pipes and walls. Immediate water extraction and effective drying become even more critical to prevent further deterioration.
Freezing temperatures cause water to expand.
Expanded ice creates new structural cracks.
Increased risk of mold if not dried properly before freezing.
Heaters required to prevent refreezing during drying.
Fire remediation focuses on the immediate removal of hazards, such as soot, smoke, and contaminated materials, to stabilize the property and prevent further damage. Restoration, a broader process, rebuilds and repairs the property to its pre-fire condition, addressing structural integrity and aesthetics. Remediation is the initial cleanup, while restoration is the complete rebuilding.
Remediation: cleaning, odor removal, structural drying, and removal of damaged materials.
Restoration: Rebuilding, repairing, painting, flooring, reconstruction of damaged areas.
The timeline for fire damage restoration in a typical Salt Lake County home depends on the severity and scope of the damage. Minor issues might take a few days, while extensive damage can require several weeks or even months. Factors like the size of the affected area, the extent of structural damage, and the complexity of smoke odor removal all influence the project duration. We provide a detailed timeline after our initial assessment.
Minor smoke damage: 3-7 days
Moderate fire damage (multiple rooms): 2-4 weeks
Extensive structural fire damage: 1-3 months or more
For more details on the timeline, you can review our insights on Smoke Damage Restoration Timeline.
Fire damage restoration costs in Sandy or West Jordan vary widely based on the extent of damage and the size of the property. Small, localized smoke damage might cost under $1,000, while severe structural fires requiring extensive reconstruction can easily exceed $50,000. Factors such as material replacement, specialized cleaning for electronics, and reconstruction complexity directly influence the final price. We provide precise estimates after a thorough inspection.
Commercial fire restoration in Salt Lake County is subject to various local regulations, including specific building codes from Salt Lake County Planning and Development Services, as well as potentially stricter requirements in cities such as Salt Lake City or South Jordan. Businesses might also need to comply with specific fire marshal approvals and ADA accessibility standards during reconstruction. Our team stays current on these evolving local requirements.
Salt Lake County building codes and zoning ordinances.
City-specific fire marshal approvals.
ADA compliance requirements for commercial spaces.
Environmental regulations for hazardous waste disposal.
Professional odor removal is essential after a fire because smoke particles deeply penetrate porous materials, and without specialized equipment, these odors can linger indefinitely.
