Fast Dry - Damage Restoration Near Me

DON'T DO IT! This company is the WORST! All they want to do is scam insurance companies. They excessively over charge and when/if the insurance doesn't pay they come after you of course. The company's they are in cahoots w are just as bad. They took MONTHS to get anything done ( I had to hire another company who only charged me $17K to finish the job that another company Phil "recommended" wanted $43K for ) and when the insurance denied me Phil was no where to be found. DON'T DO IT! They are very dishonest and misleading. read more

It is now February 9th, 2026... My AC is STILL not properly hooked back up after being disconnected in September to begin this whole process through Fast Dry. They appointed people/companies for all of the jobs that had to take place, and 5 months later, I am still calling people trying to get this entire job finished properly. I am BEYOND frustrated. I wish I could go back in time to tell myself to NOT work with this company. read more

Alan was very professional and knowledgeable. He did an excellent job in the restoration of my water heater leaks.

Beware of a wolf in a sheep coat. Overpromised and under delivered seems to be its motto of operation. Very slow respond to questions after a contract was signed. Poor follow up process. This company affiliates with local plumbers /contractors in misleading people to exaggerate the problems so it can overcharge the insurance companies and/or homeowners. Be very careful prior to engaging its service. read more

Alan came out to demo under my kitchen sink during to a leak. He was very thorough about protecting my cabinets and the rest of my house with plastic covers, took his time taking out the damaged portions, and set up fans and the dehumidifier to dry out the wet areas when he was done. He was very professional and timely. read more

Had them come out for a leak we had in our bathroom and they did a great job! Alan, Mark, and Arnold all showed up on time and did a very professional job! They made sure to clean after themselves and did a great job removing all the damage and leaving the dryers on. read more

My client requested several quotes. I met with three companies. Mercedes, was by far the most detail oriented, responsive, and knowledgeable. There was a cabinet that may need to be taken out during the process, and she suggested going through the back wall first, which saved us a significant amount of money. The company that quoted us the most didn't suggest this and wanted to remove the cabinets. We had one quote that was lower than Fast Dry's but we decided to go with quality. I have had them check out two more properties since. Thanks for your wonderful service Mercedes! read more

I recently had a slab leak at my home and was left shook! Thank goodness for fast dry. They really live up to their name and were on the scene quickly. Project manager Jason was very attentive to my concerns and guided me through the entire claims process. His techs Alan and Abraham did an amazing job on the removal of the affected walls and flooring in my living room. Thank you Fast Dry for making this experience as smooth and easy as possible. read more

Do not hire this company. They were extremely slow to complete the work and grossly overbilled for their services. Their final invoice was nearly five times higher than what our home insurance approved as reasonable. Save yourself the stress and hire a different provider. read more

Phil is top notch! He saved my mother and I when we have a leak. I called him several times a day and he continue to stay nice and professional reassuring us that we would be taken care of. If you have an emergency he is excellent!!! read more

THIS COMPANY IS A SCAM. WARNING: DO NOT WORK WITH THEM. ** Were you referred to Fast Dry by another contractor?** If so, DON'T WORK WITH THEM. Do your research and get bids for other water mitigation services in your area if you absolutely need water mitigation. I suspect other contractors are recommending Fast Dry OC to receive kickbacks. Here's what happened to me: In May 2024, a super sketchy plumber (through my home warranty) referred my case to Fast Dry, and Mercedes from Fast Dry came super quickly and convinced me that their services were absolutely necessary to prevent catastrophic mold. She assured me that they work with my insurance and I will be taken care of. I was naïve: she seemed so understanding and supportive, and I was so overwhelmed by my situation. Looking back, it was clear that she took advantage of my distress and lied lied lied. I didn't need water mitigation at all, since there was no flooding, no mold, and the leak was very small. My insurance estimated that given the amount of work they did (all they did was put in a few fans and dehumidifiers for a few days), it should cost no more than $1,000. Instead, they sent over an invoice for nearly $6,000. What was on that invoice? A whole lot of bogus. They wanted $2k for dehumidifiers for 10 days (the dehumidifiers were only there for 5 days); nearly $300 for an "emergency service call" (they came during regular business hours); $800 for 8 hours of equipment setup, take down, and monitoring (absolutely bogus, I was on-site every time they were there, and they only spent a max of 2 hours spread out over a month); $120 for fuel surcharges; $152 for cleaning technician (that never happened); $100+ for PPE (no one came wearing any PPE); $200+ for demolition and moving furniture (that never happened); and so forth. They went as far as to fabricate a log to "prove" that they did on-site monitoring way more often than they actually came (photo attached). My insurance adjuster called the invoice "grossly inflated" and said they are charging for services that would be more appropriate for a Category 3 loss, which my situation was not. My insurance refused to pay them what they wanted, which meant the remainder of the invoice became my responsibility. They started asking me to pay the remainder of the invoice (around $4k). I was so stressed out, because I knew I was scammed. I tried to discuss the invoice with Mercedes and she stopped returning my calls and texts. I had no other choice but to engage an attorney and started researching Fast Dry even more. THEY HAVE A HISTORY OF MISREPRESENTING THEMSELVES. On their website, Fast Dry OC claims that they are IICRC certified and are members of RIA, both water mitigation industry organizations. I contacted both organizations in June 2024 and found out that Fast Dry IS NOT IICRC-certified and IS NOT a member of RIA as they so claimed (photos attached). As of today, the RIA membership logo has been removed from their website, likely because they were asked to remove it. I also looked up whether they have a General Contractor license in California and THEY DO NOT. While water mitigation companies do not necessarily need a contractor license in CA, according to the Department of Consumer Affairs, Contractors State License Board, "anyone who contracts to perform work on a project that is valued at $500 or more for combined labor and materials costs must hold a current, valid license from CSLB." Additionally, the company that is supposedly responsible for their billing is called Restoration Estimating, and they *also* claim to be IICRC-certified. Guess what? They are not. Interestingly, Restoration Estimating is located at the same address as Fast Dry OC. And the Fast Dry OC website also has text that is copied and pasted from another water mitigation company, Fusion Flood and Fire Services. Are they all connected? Who knows! As soon as my attorney contacted them, my invoice magically went away. They claimed it's been paid in full. Good. That's a relief. But I spent *months* stressing out about this, endured many sleepless nights, and spent substantial money, time, and effort working on this issue. I suffered from anxiety, insomnia, and depression dealing with this, and I really did not need another thing to worry about on top of dealing with my (legitimate) plumbing issue. I am furious they took advantage of me when I was vulnerable. Additionally, I paid them $1,000 for something I didn't even need. I was just naïve and listened to the plumber (who is also a liar and a cheat and never returned to finish the job I paid for). And I know I was not the only one scammed by them, just look at the other 1-star reviews. What a morally corrupt company, they do not deserve to be in business scamming people. read more

I had a leak in my home , Arnold & mark came out to do demolition they where super professional, knowledgeable, Thoughtful very nice & clean work! I would definitely call them back if I have any leak and recommend fast dry ! read more

Fast Dry OC was such a phenomenal experience. I highly recommend using them. They were recommended by our plumber. Phil helped us out immediately the next day after discovering a pipe burst and a slab leak. The next day him and his team were out investigating the leak and opening up walls. Phil coordinated the work with his team of Arnold, Mark, and Rob. All of them were very friendly and knowledgeable with an excellent work ethic. Most of the work was in the garage and they noticed another leak to the adjacent wall, which turned out to be a slab leak. Everything was done neatly, and they were all very respectful of the property. Phil also helped guide and lead us. When the work was completed, Art and Rob finished the inspection and cleaned up the equipment. They were very informative of the next steps to take. Overall, we are very happy with Fast Dry OC. I highly recommend. read more

Mercedes was great- professional, nice and knew what she was doing. It took awhile for drying time, but she'd come back and check. There were a lot of services that came to fix the flood damage so it got confusing who was who. Not everyone communicated. Fast dry did for the most part. Everything was handle through the insurance company so I don't know about charging and fees. Overall, I give them 5 stars. read more

These guys are just as the name itself. FAST DRY. Their demo crew Art and Rob are well experienced, professional, and overall very informative. They communicate all steps and explain in details. People skills are getting lost in today's world but you will find exceptional service here. Fast Dry, if you do look at these reviews, know that you have an asset with these 2 employees. read more

When I discovered an issue I had at home I was at a loss. I reached out to this company, and they turned my panic into relief. Their team was prompt, friendly, and incredibly efficient. They assessed the damage quickly and got right to work. What impressed me most was their transparency no hidden fees, just honest communication about what needed to be done. They not only fixed the immediate issue but also provided advice on preventing future problems. read more

Zero stars. Just interested in scamming your insurance company. My sink drain was clogged. We filed a simple repair request via our home warranty company, American Home Shield, who quickly dispatched Wham Plumbing. The "plumber" showed up with no equipment but a moisture meter and walked under the sink, and said there is a high level of moisture and therefore he couldn't snake the drain. He dispatched a third company, Fast Dry, who came in with he same moisture meter and said there is a lot of moisture and tried to file a claim agains tour primary home insurance company. This all was happening within an hour or two of the first plumber arriving. All of these felt very scammy so we insisted they stop with everything. We called a real plumber who we have used in the past and he came and snaked the drained, and we noted no elevated moisture levels. Wham Plumbing and their partners Fast Dry were just trying to scam work out of our insurance company. I would not let them anywhere near your house. read more

Allen is professional, on-Time, courtesy. Great to work with. Love him. He also gave great inputs for restoration process.

I had two leaks within one year. Both plumbers recommended Fast Dry for the restoration service. They were very experienced and responded immediately. I am very happy with the quality of their service. read more

Alan Arnold and Mark are awesome! Highly recommend them!! They provide excellent customer service great communication and a pleasure to work with. read more

AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Using Fast Dry ended up being a costly and stressful mistake. Fast Dry seems more focused on taking advantage of insurance companies and, when that fails, their customers. Long story short, I eventually called another company, had Fast Dry's machines removed and asked them to pick up their equipment. The new company did excellent work and discovered both untreated mold and ongoing water issues left untreated by fast dry. It looks like a lot of Fast Dry's business is plumber referral, making me wonder if those plumbers are getting a kick back. read more

Mercedes at Fast Dry explained how to safely they would remove the issue and prevent future problems. Their work was meticulous, and they took great care to protect my home during the process. I was especially impressed by their follow up to ensure everything was back to normal. If you need excellent service these are the people to call! read more

Better off doing it yourself. Less headache. Time, service and completion not satisfactory

After discovering a problem in my basement from a previous time, I knew I needed professionals. Fast dry was recommended to me, and they did not disappoint! Their team was knowledgeable and arrived promptly for the assessment. Thank you Jason! read more

We were referred by our plumber for a busted shower cartridge that we thought was just a small leak. Luckily Phil was out within about an hour with moisture detection devices. He showed us thermal imaging that showed very clearly how much bigger the burst of water was. Made it very easy to work with insurance since they handle all the documents. Everyone at this company actually showed up on time every time they said they would and preformed clean work with attention to detail. I will continue to refer this company to anyone in their range with a water issue. read more

The service received was A+. Mercedes is an amazing manager. Showed up Friday evening after hours and was available throughout the process. Allen was here working with the team and provided excellent service. I highly recommended Fast Dry to attend to unexpected emergencies! read more

Mercedes managed the project seamlessly. Alex Abraham and Jason did meticulous and professional work drying and cleaning the water damage while protecting the rest of the house from dust debris and possible contamination. I recommend this company for water mitigation. read more

Amazing service. Everything went well and perfect. Shoutout to Roberto for the great service and knowledge. 10/10!

Zero stars. Total scam of a company. I had a leak coming from my tub faucet. Fast Dry sent 2 workers over who broke up tile around my tub and shower. I was sent a bill for over $14,000 for 2 and a half days of unskilled labor removing old tile. They actually charged me $6000 to have a guy drop off floor fans and a dehumidifier to run for a week. These people are thieves. read more

Jason and the entire Fast Dry crew were nothing short of AMAZING when our home experienced a sewage/hazmat flood! Jason arrived quickly and began explaining the "drying out" and restoration process and everything he said went according to plan. Fast Dry customer service was also excellent, whenever I had any questions and called Jason, he either answered immediately or called back within a few minutes. If I ever found myself in this situation again, I would not hesitate to call Fast Dry! read more

My recent experience with 'Fast Dry' exceeded all expectations. When you have a serious leak in the house, there are many steps to getting things back to where they were before the damage was done. Jason from Fast Dry aided me in ever step in the process from explaining to me what needed to be done, arranging help to move and pack up items, and suggesting a reputable, local construction company to take over after the water mitigation was completed. Communication with the company during the work was excellent. The services performed by Fast Dry were of high quality and performed very quickly. I would 100% recommend this company to a friend or family member if they needed this service for their homes. read more

100% recommended, always available and very professional. Took care of my issue immediately, glad to find such a great company with great employees. Thank you Fast Dry! read more

This company really lives by its name ! I had a burst water line in my kitchen that flooded my entire house but Alan was super fast at responding to the situation. He had a team out here faster than any other company I had contacted. Alan walked me through the whole process and spoke to my insurance for me . I would definitely recommend this company to my family and friends! read more

This company is not honest and cheating customer! Don't use them. I had a pipe cap leaking which is very easy to fix and my insurance deductible is $5000.00 and I told the Joshua Antenaza who is the owner of the firm. But he told me there will be no out packet from me. But he claimed the insurance and opened the dry wall and use vent/ fun to dry some of the area, and he just left for three weeks which cause us so much trouble and we can't enter to the kitchen, dining room, family room, and he even made us to make $5000.00 deductible and he got the payment from insurance company. This company should not be existed to harm our community! read more

I unfortunately had significant water damage in my bathroom after a pipe had burst. Luckily I was referred to Fast Dry! They were quick, responsive and were able to guide me through the process and get my home back within a reasonable time frame. Extremely professional and everyone I met throughout the process was extremely kind! Thank you again! read more

I needed a water mitigation company and Fast dry was recommended to me from my plumber. Jason from Fast Dry was great. He helped me get a contractor who was able to finish the job and worked with my insurance company. Jason was experience with working with State Farm and knows what to do. Jason and Fast Dry are a great required service worth looking into! read more

Highly recommend Fast Dry! The process of dealing with busted water pipes was stressful but Josh made it smooth and easy. He was with us every step along the way and was always available to answer our questions. We asked a lot of questions. Josh & his team were thorough and did an excellent job of getting our restrooms cleaned and connected us with other specialist that also were great! I hope I never need Fast Dry again but if we do they will be the first we call! Thank you!!! read more
