Awful. They stole so much from my house and threw out many things that were no damaged. Items were stolen and he brought in a bunch of temps to attempt to clean it up, none of whom knew what they were doing.

Grant was out the day we called even though they were slammed due to rain the previous night, they had an industrial dehumidifier in the next morning, had the floors and trim removed within 2 days, and 11 commercial grade fans going soon after that. We were very pleased with the service they provided and would be happy to use them again. They even worked directly with our insurance company to ensure all the details were taken care of.
Description of Work: Our basement flooded with about 1 inch of water. We hired Rapid Dry to remove existing floors, dry the basement out, and treat the exposed areas with an antimicrobial cleaner.

Awful, very upsetting and troublesome.
Description of Work: Had a water backup in my home. They came to clean up the mess while I was in a hotel. They stole me blind, they were very difficult to work with and hired people who didn't know what they were doing from a temp service. Despicable owner. Run fast away from this so called company.

As soon as they started there were problems. Grant and his crew threw out many things that should not have been thrown out, (including all appliances, all counter tops, toilets, cabinets, vanities, many personal items all of which my adjuster said should never have been discarded.The bill Grant sent State Farm was over 30K and State Farm would only pay 16K. I was harassed over Labor day weekend because Grant kept coming to my hotel putting gifts for my dog in front of my door and then calling me from the street to get them. He lied all the time, was VERY unprofessional, unethical and a bad liar. This company was very difficult to work with and I would recommend going someplace else for these services. I had a stroke and I believe Grant took advantage of me and would not give me the 10% discount from Angies List senior discount and raised his voice many times when I stated the facts. Run away from this company. I can and will prove everything I have written.
Description of Work: My house flooded with back-up sewer and pouring down rain which made for a horrible mess. I had to move out and stay in a hotel.

Response from Rapid Dry
Hi, I am sorry for what you have gone through with our company. I am told that the things that were gotten rid of had to be and this is not from Grant. We are sorry for the personal loss. Your house was covered in sewage and those items were damage by the sewage. I know that miscommunication in this field can cause others to not understand why what was charged was but we got with State Farm and they understood and not only got your bill with us covered but also 140k to rebuild what was damaged from the Sewage which not many companies would do for you. Sincerely, Office Manager of Rapid Dry

Grant was absolutely amazing! I called about a potential leak that was causing wood floor damage. He came out the very next day and made it work with my work schedule. He was prompt and very professional. He took a look at the issue, did some investigating all the time walking my husband and me through his process. Turns out there was not a leak, but he spent an hour taking his time making sure he wasn't missing anything. After all that, there wasn't even a charge for his time. That's the type of customer service I look for in companies today, and I will definitely be recommending him wherever I can, and using him for future needs! Thanks Grant again for your professional and personable service!!

Grant was able to come out the day after I called him to give his expert opinion. He was able to tell us that what was present was completely harmless and completely normal. My mom met him, and she was very impressed with his professional demeanor and willingness to help. He could have taken advantage of us in a vulnerable situation, but he didn't. Not only did he not try to sell us services that we didn't need, he didn't even charge us for his professional opinion. He came out on his own time to give us a free consultation! I highly recommend Grant and Rapid Dry.

They used very unskilled labor. Their tech put a hole in the the plaster molding around my ceiling thinking it was wood and could be removed. Then they put up the "containment barrier" ie a piece of plastic with rusty nails they pulled from the ceiling! Then they removed the "containment barrier" all together at the end of their job, saying they needed to take their equipment with them. This seemed to boil down to lack of communication between the team members and myself. This allowed for fiberglass insulation to blow all around the house because at this point the ceiling was removed. Very poor customer service, but did eventually contact me and offered to complete the job as contracted; however was never willing to clean up fiber glass installation from lack of containment.

The wall to wall carpeting in the bedroom was saved, as well as the linoleum flooring in the bathroom. Because of their quick reaction to the situation, we only lost a bit of drywall, which has been easily replace. Rapid Dry employees were very courteous and efficient in their work. They came when they said they would, did not disturb anything in the house, and cleaned up after themselves. I liked the way Rapid Dry answered all our questions until they were satisfied we understood the procedure. We were very pleased with the results and have already recommend them to some of our family and friends.
Description of Work: Had issue with a leak from shower pan in basement bathroom, as well as leakage from the furnace; which lead to water being drawn up into bathroom and bedroom drywall. This happened in early Spring 2016. Early July, realized what had happened and called in Rapid Dry. Mold was already starting to form on the room’s baseboards. The day I phoned Rapid Dry, they sent out a representative to give us an estimate on the work. This type of situation needs to be handled immediately. So I appreciated that. Rapid Dry looked the situation over and made their recommendations. Which we accepted. Rapid Dry cut out approximately one foot of drywall and the baseboards from the two rooms where needed. They sprayed the areas that were now exposed from the dry wall being cut away with a disinfectant, which we were given Safety Data Sheet on. Drying fans were put in place and the areas were enclosed in plastic. The fans ran for approximately 3 days – completing drying out the areas.

A tree fell on my late mother's house during a storm. Tenant in the mother-in-law apt. alerted me, so I went to check Thurs. afternoon & discovered wet/dropping ceiling in living room, plus wet spots on study carpeting. I called roofer and Rapid Dry, who came Fri. morning to assess damage. They set up curtains & driers Fri. afternoon, then came back Sat. to tear out wet ceiling, drywall & carpeting, and monitored moisture levels daily until back to normal levels. When I met the technician for the final assessment the next Fri., he showed me an extra leak in the eaves (visible only because ceiling was torn out) that was not caused by the fallen tree, but needed roofing attention. My only quibble is that Rapid Dry sent me a bill before they removed the large pile of wet drywall & carpeting they had left at the foot of the driveway, but when I emailed the technician and owner, both said that would be done immediately. I used Rapid Dry once before, on Christmas weekend 2015, after fallen tree/ water damage to the same house. They respond very quickly, are careful when moving furniture (in Dec. they had to shift a fragile, antique baby grand piano), and are pleasant & easy to deal with. Although I hope I don't have to call them again, they're now on my list of trusted providers.

We were very pleased with the work done by Rapid Dry! From the initial meeting to project completion, they were professional, punctual, and personal. All of my questions were answered and at no time was I pressured into paying for services that I didn't need. Whenever I needed to contact them by phone, my calls were either answered promptly or promptly returned. They always left the work site immaculately clean at the end of the work day. Should I ever need similar work done in the future, I will call Rapid Dry without hesitation and will gladly recommend them to anyone who could beneifit from their skills as I have.

I was looking for someone to do a mold test and inspection on my home. After carefully searching and doing my research, I had narrowed it down to a few companies that I wanted to call. I called and the company owner Grant answered the phone right away, I was able to set up an appointment very quickly. The day of even though he was very busy that day he personally came to our house and after doing a comprehensive walk through, he said to save the money and there was no need to do a mold test. After walking us through everything explaining it we were very comfortable with what he had to say. He also noticed that the insulation on our air handler was being sucking into the blower and made some other recommendations of things we could do to make sure to prevent any environment for mold growth. Overall I was very impressed and shocked, he spent two hours of his time explaining and making sure that we were informed and satisfied with everything instead of just testing and charging us for a bunch of extra things that he could have easily have done. I am very thankful to Grant and his company and would definitely recommend them.
