About this company
Utah Disaster Kleenup (UDK) is a full-service restoration company headquartered in Layton, serving Davis County and surrounding areas. Mold remediation is one piece of a broader operation that covers water damage, fire damage, storm damage, asbestos removal, and contents cleaning. They have a Layton office at 905 Marshall Way and run 24/7 emergency dispatch.
Their mold process uses containment, negative pressure filtration, antimicrobial treatment, and dehumidification. They assign a project manager to each job who handles the insurance claim and stays through reconstruction. With 86+ team members across four Utah offices (Layton, Draper, Park City, Hurricane), they handle both residential and commercial properties. They also offer CE classes for industry practitioners and sponsor the Utah Firefighter Chili Cookoff.
UDK has been operating since 1974 and is part of the American Restoration family of brands. Mike McAffee serves as General Manager of the Layton branch. The company holds IICRC credentials and has received Best of State awards from 2021 through 2024.
At 4.4 stars across 77 Google reviews, UDK sits slightly below the threshold where a rating alone signals standout performance. Most of those reviews are 5-star, and the volume of named field staff appearing in positive reviews suggests consistent frontline execution even if the overall number trails competitors with higher counts.

Review consensus
Ricky is the most frequently named technician, appearing in at least 10 positive reviews spanning flood cleanup, mold removal, and water extraction. Russell, Jayden, Christian, and Brandon also appear repeatedly. Reviewers consistently highlight fast arrival times, including multiple accounts of crews showing up within an hour or responding at 2 AM. Several reviews mention field staff explaining each step of the process and going beyond the stated scope. Two reviews are in Spanish, praising Sergio, Manuel, Landon, and Wilfredo by name. Multiple returning customers have used UDK more than once and reported consistent quality.
1 found across 77 total reviews at 4.4★. One reviewer described a house fire restoration from June 2023 where they moved back in February 2024 but found the back deck was never sealed (still untreated as of April 2025) and the A/C had been wired incorrectly, affecting other circuits. They paid out of pocket for both fixes. The owner response acknowledged difficulty finding the project under the reviewer's name but said Chris Coombs, the Layton branch manager, would reach out.
UDK operates at scale with 86+ employees across four branches, and most reviews name specific field technicians rather than office staff or project managers. This bottom-up praise pattern suggests that frontline crew quality is a genuine strength, not a marketing artifact. The single negative review points to a follow-through gap on reconstruction punch-list items rather than a problem with the initial emergency response. The owner response rate is 100% on recent negatives, and the response to the one complaint was personalized rather than templated, naming the branch manager who would follow up.

UDK's field crews draw consistent praise by name, especially Ricky, Russell, and Jayden, and multiple reviewers describe fast emergency arrivals. The risk is on the reconstruction side: if your project involves extended rebuild work with a long punch list, confirm completion timelines and get final walkthrough commitments in writing. Ask for your assigned project manager's name upfront.
Keep in mind
- UDK is a restoration company, not a mold testing lab. They do not perform independent mold testing. Get a separate assessment from an independent inspector before and after remediation.
- One recent reviewer reported unfinished post-fire repair work (deck sealing, electrical rewiring) that remained incomplete more than a year after move-in. The owner response indicated difficulty locating the project initially, suggesting potential gaps in long-term follow-up on punch-list items.
- Their service area spans from Ogden to North Salt Lake and across Davis County, but the Layton office is one of four statewide. Confirm which branch and crew will handle your job.
- A 4-star reviewer noted that work started on a Friday and the crew did not return until Monday, leaving exposed staples on stairs over the weekend. Ask about weekend scheduling if timing matters to you.
