0 found across 35 total reviews at 4.7 stars. (0 found across 35 total reviews at 4.7 stars) No negative reviews appeared in the last 18 months. The review pool is small at 35 total, and many are text-free star ratings, so the absence of complaints is not the same as a strong track record. One 5-star review from Valerie Jones actually reads more like a mixed experience, noting a price change when shampoo was added and stains that remained after cleaning.
Most reviews with text describe carpet cleaning, not mold or water damage work. The company has a thin review profile for mold services specifically. Several positive reviews come from single-review accounts, and many 5-star ratings have no text at all. This makes it difficult to assess service quality beyond basic carpet cleaning.
Michael (technician — praised for stain removal, courteous service). Emmanuel (technician — praised for punctuality, respectfulness, careful furniture handling). Manuel (technician — praised for being great and quick). Joseph (technician — praised for deep carpet cleaning). Jacob (technician — praised for thoroughness, requested by name for future visits).
If you are hiring UCM for carpet cleaning in Plainfield, the review record is reassuring — multiple named technicians get praised by name. If you are hiring them for mold work, you are working with much less public evidence. Ask to speak with past mold remediation clients, and get your testing done independently.
Keep in mind
- They do both mold testing and mold remediation, which is a conflict of interest. The same company that tells you whether you have mold also profits from removing it. Ask whether they use an independent lab and whether you can get a second opinion before remediation begins.
- This is primarily a carpet cleaning company. Mold remediation is one of many services, not their sole focus. Ask how many mold jobs they complete per month.
- Almost all reviews mention carpet cleaning, not mold or water damage work. There is little public feedback on their remediation quality specifically.
- The website uses boilerplate language on the mold and water damage pages, making it hard to gauge what equipment they actually deploy on site.
