What Our Clients Say
Customer Reviewsi highly recommend the bio clean team based on my experience - they were professional and extremely efficient.
I never had a chance to do business with Bio Clean but i had spoke with Blake about some issues i was having in my home. He knew i may not use his services but still went out of his way to answer my questions and make sure i was aware of what i was dealing with. Genuine responses and thankful to have spoken. 5 stars for being down to earth and helping others.
Daryl reviewed the results of a mold test we had conducted by another company and then did a physical inspection of our property. He was responsive, thorough, and professional. Other than a couple of minor spots where he gave specific advice for cleaning up, he did not find we had a serious mold problem. He did not propose extensive repairs/remediation when not needed.
Daryl was able to come out quickly and review some mold issues in the crawl space under the house we purchased. His expertise helped us mitigate costs on closing and he provided avenues on how best to treat and fix the problem. He was timely, efficient, proactive, and very insightful. The written report was informative and provided the correct avenues for recourse. I can't thank him enough for all the help he provided. During the course of closing on our house, we somehow forgot to pay the bill for the inspection. They did not hound us and were very gracious when I realized we had somehow missed paying the bill. Gave Amy a quick call and everything was set straight. Thank you again for everything!
Daryl help us with a mold inspection, he is knowledgable and informative, great company to work with. Thank you!
These guys rock!!
Super fast service, and told us exactly how to fix our mold problem and what tools would be needed! They do Fast and easy inspections 🙂
Daryl was amazing, on time, professional, and super helpful. I would recommend them to anyone!!
Bio Clean of Utah did an amazing job and thorough inspection of the mold issues I discovered in my condo. They explained the issue and possible causes for the problem in a very easy to understand way. I needed them fast as I was re-doing the floors in my condo and discovered the water damage covered up by the previous owner. They took care of the problem very quickly and professionally and made sure that everything in my place was protected while they were doing repairs. I highly recommend them for mold removal. They know what they're doing.
Your search is over. Your peace of mind is just a phone call away. I just had a wonderful experience with Bio Clean. Daryl himself came to our house to do a mold inspection, and did a thorough job hunting for mold issues and patiently answered all my questions. We found mold in two areas that I did not even suspect. Much to my relief though, those were the only problem areas and they were so small, that Daryl told me honestly that it could easily be handled as a Do-It-Yourself project. He told me exactly what to do. AND, he even referred me to an air duct cleaning company close by and suggested I have my ducts cleaned for better air quality in the house. I highly recommend Bio Clean of Utah.
Outstanding and thorough inspection of the problem we had with our shower/plumbing so we could go in the right direction which resulted in our own piece of mind...which was priceless. I will absolutely use them again (but if I'm being honest...I hope I never do!) Thanks tons Sam!
I'm a Realtor in Park City and I've used Daryl at Bioclean many times recently for mold inspections for my buyer clients who have homes under contract. Daryl is very knowledgeable on mold and has been a great help for my clients in knowing more about the property they are buying. I highly recommend Bioclean.
We had a great experience with Bio Clean of Utah! They were easy to get a hold of and the lady on the phone was friendly and able to answer all of my questions. The workman arrived on time and was courteous and clean. He did a thorough inspection and was very informative and helpful. We are excited to continue to use this business to help us keep a clean and safe home!
Daryl Olsen has been helping me for years with my real estate clients and his knowledge, service level and workmanship has always been 5 star. Bio Clean of Utah just finished a mold removal job for a home that is pending sale. Nobody wants a mold problem in their home and Daryl took the time to explain how the cleanup would happen and answer their questions. His diagnostic and communication skills are excellent! Thanks Daryl!
These folks were awesome. They were very responsive and backed up their work. Great job!
My experience with this company is that they are honest and good to work with.
Wow, so impressed with this company! Kurt came out to inspect our home for mold. He was very professional, friendly, honest, and extremely informative. So glad we found this company! We will never go anywhere else!
We called Bio Clean to inspect for water damage and tell us if they saw or suspected mold. They did a really great job, used moisture detection, and showed us some things to keep an eye on. They went above and beyond and really helped us get some peace of mind for our house purchase.
Understanding Fire And Water Damage In Utah Homes
Utah homes face a unique mix of fire, smoke, and water risks. Dry summers, winter freezes, and rapid temperature swings all affect how damage spreads and how quickly it needs to be handled.
Our job is to step in quickly, stabilize the situation, and restore your property so it is safe to live or work in again.
Common Causes Of Fire Damage In Utah
Across the Salt Lake Valley, Provo, Bountiful, Centerville, and surrounding areas, we see a consistent set of fire damage causes:
-
Kitchen and cooking accidents
-
Space heaters placed too close to furniture or curtains
-
Electrical faults, overloaded circuits, or old wiring
-
Candles, fireplaces, and wood stoves
-
Garage fires from tools, fuel, or stored items
-
Wildfire-related smoke infiltration
A fire does more than burn what it touches. Smoke and soot travel through HVAC systems, wall cavities, and attics. Even a “small” contained fire can leave a sticky, corrosive residue throughout the entire home. That is why our fire and smoke damage services focus on the whole structure, not just the visibly burned area.
How Utah’s Climate Affects Water And Smoke Damage
Utah’s climate creates two big restoration challenges.
First, we have very dry air much of the year, but also heavy snow, ice, and sudden thaws in winter. That combination leads to:
-
Ice damming on roofs that forces water under shingles
-
Sudden pipe bursts during deep freezes
-
Rapid snowmelt that sends water into basements and crawlspaces
We have specialized services for situations like ice damming and winter water damage, because the longer water sits hidden, the more likely you are to see mold and structural issues later.
Second, smoke behaves differently in dry air at high altitude. Soot can penetrate porous materials more deeply and smoke odor can be tougher to remove. Our smoke odor removal methods and equipment are chosen specifically for Utah homes and building materials so we can tackle stubborn smells without over-demolishing.
If you want a deeper look at how water events unfold here, our guide on what to do immediately after water damage explains timing and risk in more detail.
Hidden Structural And Health Risks After A Loss
What you see after a fire or flood is only part of the story. The hidden issues are what cost homeowners the most in the long run:
-
Compromised framing or roof members from fire, excessive heat, or long-term moisture
-
Smoke and soot inside wall cavities and HVAC systems that continue to circulate irritants and odor
-
Wet insulation, subfloors, and drywall that look dry on the surface but still hold moisture
-
Mold growth beginning within 24 to 48 hours in damp materials
Our team uses professional moisture meters, thermal imaging, and detailed inspections. We tie that into our Utah mold inspection and testing protocols so you are not left with a “restored” home that still has hidden contamination or structural weakness.
Why Immediate Professional Restoration Matters
The decisions made in the first 24 to 72 hours after a fire or water loss usually determine how extensive the damage becomes and how much the claim will cost.
How Fast Response Reduces Damage And Costs
Time is your biggest enemy after a fire or water event.
With water, porous materials start absorbing moisture immediately. Within a day or two, that can turn a minor leak into a major demolition project. Professional extraction and drying can often save:
-
Drywall and trim
-
Cabinets and built-ins
-
Flooring systems and subfloors
We built our emergency water damage response service around this exact reality. Fast action means less secondary damage, less mold, and a faster rebuild.
With fire, acidic soot begins corroding metals and discoloring surfaces within hours. The sooner we neutralize, clean, and seal affected areas, the more we can save and the better your long-term indoor air quality will be.
Why Professional Restoration Is Safer Than DIY
Online videos and hardware store equipment make restoration look easy. It isn’t.
Here is what most DIY efforts miss:
-
Hidden moisture that standard fans and dehumidifiers simply cannot reach
-
Electrical and structural hazards that are not obvious to an untrained eye
-
Improper cleaning of soot and smoke that smears contamination instead of removing it
-
Inadequate mold prevention, leading to bigger problems months later
Our services are designed to do what DIY cannot. We follow IICRC standards, use commercial extraction and drying equipment, and document moisture readings from start to finish. For example, our professional restoration after flood resource goes into the professional steps required to truly restore a flooded space.
Working With Insurance During A Fire Or Water Claim
Trying to manage a loss, deal with contractors, and handle an insurance claim on your own is overwhelming.
We help you by:
-
Documenting all damage with photos, notes, and readings
-
Providing clear estimates and scope of work for your adjuster
-
Communicating directly with your insurance when appropriate
-
Helping you understand what is typically covered and what may not be
We have seen the pitfalls of using only “insurance preferred” vendors. Our article on issues with using insurance preferred vendors explains why having an advocate on your side matters.
If you are dealing with a disaster claim now, our guide on dealing with a disaster insurance claim offers clear, Utah-specific context that can help you ask the right questions.
Our Fire Damage Restoration Process
Fire damage restoration is as much about safety and air quality as it is about rebuilding. Here is how we typically approach a fire loss.
Emergency Board Up And Site Stabilization
First, we focus on securing and stabilizing your property. That can include:
-
Board up of doors, windows, and openings
-
Roof tarping to prevent rain or snow from entering
-
Temporary shoring if fire or water has weakened structural members
This step protects your home from weather, theft, and additional damage so we can move into detailed cleaning and repair.
Smoke, Soot, And Odor Removal
Smoke is invasive. It finds its way into drawers, closets, attics, and HVAC systems.
We use a combination of:
-
HEPA air filtration and negative air machines
-
Specialized vacuums and dry-chem sponges for soot removal
-
Detergent-based cleaning for affected hard surfaces
-
Odor counteractants and, when appropriate, thermal fogging or hydroxyl treatment
Our guide on 7 crucial steps in fire smoke damage cleanup breaks down why each part of this process matters. For tough smoke odor situations, we also rely on the techniques outlined in our article on whether you can get rid of smoke smell after a fire.
Cleaning, Repairs, And Reconstruction
Once soot and odor are under control, we move into restoring your structure and contents. That may include:
-
Cleaning and deodorizing salvageable contents
-
Removing and replacing charred building materials
-
Repairing or reconstructing damaged rooms or sections
Our goal is always the same: a safe, clean, and comfortable space that feels like home again. As part of our broader comprehensive disaster cleanup and restoration services, we coordinate scheduling, trades, and inspections so you don’t have to juggle multiple contractors.
Our Water Damage Restoration Process
Water damage jobs look simple from the outside, but the details matter. Proper extraction, drying, and verification protect you from future structural issues and mold.
Inspection, Moisture Detection, And Damage Assessment
We start with a detailed inspection of the affected areas, including:
-
Moisture readings in walls, floors, and ceilings
-
Checking adjacent rooms and levels for hidden spread
-
Identifying the water source and category (clean, gray, or black water)
This information shapes the drying plan and helps support your insurance claim. If your ceiling has been affected, we may recommend our professional ceiling water damage repair in Utah service to make sure structural and cosmetic issues are both resolved.
Water Extraction, Drying, And Dehumidification
Next, we remove as much liquid water as possible using professional extraction equipment, then set up a drying system tailored to your property.
That can involve:
-
Powerful truck-mounted or portable extractors
-
High-velocity air movers
-
Commercial-grade dehumidifiers
Our water damage restoration services are built around IICRC S500 standards so drying is efficient, documented, and verifiable.
If you are curious how long a project might take, our resources on how long it takes to dry out a flooded basement and how much water damage restoration costs in Utah share realistic timelines and cost factors.
Mold Prevention And Structural Drying
Left unchecked, moisture leads directly to mold. That is why we coordinate closely between our water and mold damage cleanup services in Utah.
We focus on:
-
Getting structural materials below target moisture levels
-
Removing materials that cannot be safely dried
-
Treating at-risk areas and monitoring for potential microbial growth
With Utah’s moisture cycles changing, homeowners are seeing more mold issues after even “minor” water damage. Our article on rising moisture cycles and increasing mold risks explains why thorough drying and prevention matter so much.
Cleaning, Sanitizing, And Final Restoration
Once everything is dry and stable, we clean and sanitize affected areas, then move into repairs and final restoration. Depending on the loss, this may include:
-
Cleaning and disinfecting floors, walls, and contents
-
Odor control as needed
-
Reinstalling trim, doors, and finishes
-
Coordinating with our rebuild partners for any reconstruction
From flooded basements in Provo to pipe leaks in Salt Lake City, our local water damage cleanup services and wider service network across Utah are built to get you from emergency to finished restoration without unnecessary delays.
Choosing A Utah Restoration Specialist
Not all restoration companies operate the same way. Asking the right questions upfront protects you, your home, and your claim.
Licensing, Certification, And Local Experience
When you bring a team into your home after a disaster, you should expect:
-
Proper state licensing where required
-
IICRC certifications in water, fire, and mold
-
General liability and, where applicable, workers’ compensation insurance
-
Real experience with Utah’s climate, building styles, and local codes
We have spent years serving homes and businesses along the Wasatch Front. Our about us page highlights our story, our certifications, and why we focus on compassionate service as much as technical skill.
What To Ask Before You Hire A Restoration Company
Here are a few smart questions we encourage you to ask any restoration provider, including us:
-
How quickly can you respond to my property?
-
Are your technicians IICRC certified?
-
Will you provide written estimates and moisture readings?
-
How do you work with insurance adjusters?
-
Do you also handle mold if it is discovered during the project?
If a company cannot answer these clearly, that is a red flag.

How A Full Service Team Simplifies Recovery
Disasters are stressful. You should not have to coordinate five different contractors to get your home back.
Because we offer integrated services including fire, water, and blood and crime scene cleanup, we can:
-
Manage your project from emergency response through final cleanup
-
Keep communication and documentation in one place
-
Reduce delays between phases of work
That full-service approach saves you time, reduces confusion, and usually helps your claim move more smoothly.
