Remember what good customer service felt like? Sit down, because I'm about to remind you. Between November and March I had three different remediation companies in my home. Two were forgettable. Express Dry was not. Let's start with the basics: they showed up 15 minutes EARLY. I didn't know that was still a thing. From the first call to the final walkthrough, communication was consistent and clear, no chasing anyone down, no vague timelines, no "someone will be there between 8am and never." Before anything else, their first responder, Christian, did a quick health survey -- asthma, allergies, immune compromised household members? They came prepared. That meant a lot to our family and honestly set the tone for everything that followed. The crew arrived that afternoon, introduced themselves, walked through their scope for the day, and then proceeded to professionally protect every floor, wall, and personal item in sight before getting to work. They worked in 100-degree heat, in a garage tent with industrial drying fans blasting, and stayed until 7pm on a Friday night. On a FRIDAY. These people have my respect forever. Each evening you get a full inventory and walkthrough of the day's work plus what's coming next. PMs arrived every afternoon to check progress. I'm convinced they swept up every last speck of dust before they left, the house was cleaner than before they arrived. Shout out to Christian, Omar, and the rest of the crew whose names I absolutely should have written down -- I'm sorry, you all deserved better from me. Meticulous. Professional. Health-conscious. Hard-working. And genuinely good humans. No affiliation. Nothing in it for me. Excellent companies and employees deserve to be recognized, especially in today's service landscape. If you're dealing with water damage, a flood, a slow leak, whatever it is call Express Dry. You'll be very happy you did. ---- 3/23/26 Update 1 - Johnny just left, he was checking on the project, friendly professional, and guess what he also showed up 15 minutes EARLY. I'm telling you you're not going to find a better company. ---- 3/25/26 Update 2 - Salvador just left, he was making sure we hit 15% dryness across the project before packing up the dryers and HEPA filters. He also arrived EARLY, excellent communication, called to make sure timing was okay. He was friendly, respectful and informative and asked if there were any questions and advised next steps. I opted to leave their tents up so the next reconstruction phase of the project didn't get dust everywhere. Would definitely recommend this team! read more

I had water damage under my kitchen sink that leaked into my garage. Express dry was the last company that I interviewed after an all day interview process of several companies. The only reason I even went with them was because of the impressive plumber I met with that recommended them. They came that night and helped initiate the process of drying the next day. Noah Lopez was the rep and was my contact initially. I saw 3 restoration companies that day and 3 plumbers so I had a decent idea how of much water damage, estimated time of deconstruction and reconstruction. A lot of companies get a bad reputation because they try and tear up as much as possible and I thought Express Dry was different but I was proven wrong. After a few days of drying, they all of a sudden discovered that my tiles were 30-99% saturated and they had to rip them up which would add another 2 weeks of work. I was confused on how this was NOT spotted initially by them or any other company I saw that initial day of interviewing. Everyone commented on how I should be lucky that the tiles didn't get wet. So obviously I called BS on them. They tried several scare tactics by having me sign some hand written statement that I would be liable and having multiple try and convince me to remove the tiles. Thank God I got a second opinion and had an outside company return to check for water damage and they too once again confirmed that tiles weren't wet and even if they were, there are other options that don't involve tearing up the tile. I thought I was getting a company that looked out for me but they were obviously looking to rip off the insurance company and make money for them. Noah tried to convince me not to contact my insurance company myself and he would do it all for me but I'll glad I called my insurance while he was present. I think that made him upset because after that, he went from being pleasant to being irritated, especially after the process began and I attempted to contact him. There were other things they did that also rubbed me the wrong way but I don't want to get anyone fired. Just another example of how can't even trust people to have some decency, even in 2026 read more

Outstanding service during a stressful situation! I had my kitchen flood during Thanksgiving and Salvador Suarez from Express Dry came to my rescue! Considering it was a holiday this company came out quickly and took care of everything, and I mean EVERYTHING! From the moment they arrived, they were professional, knowledgeable, and reassuring during a very stressful situation. They explained what needed to be done, worked efficiently, and made sure the area was safe and properly handled. Their response time, attention to detail, and overall professionalism really stood out. It gave me peace of mind knowing my home was in good hands. I'm extremely grateful for their help and would highly recommend them to anyone dealing with water damage or an emergency situation! Thank you so much Salvador! read more

I have never been through a water leak before and was lost of where to start. Express Dry Restoration has an awesome team. They are timely with communication no matter what time of day. Very informative and helpful. Highly recommended! read more

We highly recommend Express Dry for water restoration. We had extensive water damage to our home is Menifee. From the second Noah from Express Dry arrived at our house, we knew we were in good hands. The work was done on schedule, their support was excellent, and they worked closely with us on our insurance claim. We highly recommend calling this company first if you ever have the unfortunate event of water damage to your home. read more

You will not find someone better to help you than Moises. I will never make another decision about my home without consulting Moises first. He and his team are very knowledgeable about everything and anything and will lead you in the right direction. You can tell that his team also love what they do because they are always in a good mood, always respectful and always very hospitable. Moises is also very respected in the area. Everyone I've talked to, including my insurance company, have nothing but positive things to say about him. Thanks Moises and your team! read more

Noah Express Dry is by far the most experienced and knowledgeable when it comes to water damage and dealing with insurance. I can't thank them enough. From restoration to the pack-out team--Raymond and Orlando of the Mitigation Pack-Out Team--handled our belongings with such care. The way they packed and wrapped everything was amazing. No damage or broken glass! For repairs, Alex from ABM Construction and his team were outstanding. They finished the job on time and did a great job. I can't recommend them highly enough. I'm definitely a happy customer--they truly take care of their clients. read more

These guys were very responsive, patient and kind. We had a bad leak in our downstairs entryway bathroom and they came out quickly, assessed the issues and demoed the room the next day and set up fans and a dehydrator. Took about a week to dry. They came every two days and checked status. I highly recommend them. read more

We had an unfortunate leak right after the holidays and express dry was referred by the plumber who came out. Oscar came out within THE HOUR to inspect and walk through next steps with us. Express dry and especially Oscar were incredible throughout the whole process from demo, cleaning up, honesty, speaking with our insurance company for the claim... absolute best customer service and care. Would recommend!!!!! read more

If I could give zero stars, I would. I feel completely scammed and taken advantage of by Express Dry. They did not perform a thorough inspection at all--just a quick visual glance--and immediately tried to push me into filing an insurance claim. Their goal was very clear: tear my walls open, rip apart my kitchen, and create a massive project out of a very small leak. What's worse is their so-called "drying process." Instead of preventing mold, their approach would have created the perfect environment for mold. No proper assessment, no professional guidance--just high-pressure tactics to turn a minor issue into a major renovation. This company preys on homeowners who trust them to do the right thing. I'm thankful I trusted my instincts and stopped the process before more damage was done. I would not recommend Express Dry to anyone. Dishonest, unprofessional, and absolutely not looking out for the customer's best interests. read more

Moises and Omar of Express Dry are an amazing team! Last month we experienced extreme flood damage and I didn't know where to begin or who to go to to help take care of the damage. All of the 5 star reviews about this company are right on target. From start to finish they immediately went to work and systematically and professionally took care of every step needed to do what was necessary to get the situation under control. Included in their service was a comprehensive network of other professionals including plumbers and building contractors who have experience working directly with insurance companies and were able to guide us through this process helping to alleviate what would have otherwise been a very stressful and perhaps costly experience. Thank you Moises and Omar for taking such considerate care of us and our home! read more

My plumber recommended Express Dry and Moises M. was out the same day to evaluate the situation. He coordinated the testing required to safely have his team open the walls and get things drying all that same day. Omar M. and team was out that next day to tear out the areas impacted by the water and had the area set up drying in no time. They were efficient and effective at communicating plans each day as things dried up and closely monitored and documented everything for insurance purposes. Overall, they helped turn a pretty stressful situation into a smooth and simple process. Thanks to you both and the whole team at Express Dry! read more

I had a broken water pipe that discolored my hardwood floor and caused some minor mold in a bedroom. I called Express Dry and they had a rep out the same day to assess the situation. Neither of the two plumbers I had look at the area before Express Dry showed up tested for moisture. The Express Dry rep had a moisture meter, which what was required to see which areas were damaged. My insurance company wasn't thrilled about working with this company, which isn't necessarily a bad thing always. The same day the assessment was made, a separate crew came out and masked off the contaminated area, sawed the drywall open where the moisture readings were high, removed the toilet and vanity in the bathroom and set up heaters and HEPA filters. Separately, I hired a plumber to reroute the leaking water line through the attic. After this was completed, Express Dry sent out a tech to clean the area with a bio wash and Benefect antifungal agent. The room was then left to dry out for seven days. My only negative comment is that the methodology used by Express Dry to determine if the contaminated area was free of mold and moisture was to do a visual inspection. Having previously lost a home to toxic mold, that wasn't going to work for me. The day prior to Express Dry showing up to inspect the area and to determine if they thought it was safe, I hired (with my own non-reimbursable money) a separate testing company to do air sampling for possible mold contamination. The air samples were then sent to a lab to assess the mold spore count. Thankfully, the testing company reported there were no elevated mold counts in any of the areas in my home (I had them test non-water damaged rooms as well just to be safe). Express Dry removed their equipment as scheduled, and I am now searching for reconstruction contractors to fix the bathroom, install drywall and hardwood flooring. Overall, it was a positive experience, Express Dry showed up fast and kept all of their commitments. Four and a half stars (a half point deduction for the testing method). It was a positive experience and I would use them again, which I hope will not be necessary! A shout out to Art, Pedro, Oscar at Express Dry and the rest of the polite and careful staff that helped. read more

Outstanding Service and Results! I had a fantastic experience with Express Dry. From start to finish, the team was professional, punctual, and friendly. They explained the process clearly, arrived right on time, and worked efficiently without cutting corners. If you're looking for reliable, high-quality service, I can't recommend Express Dry enough. They truly go above and beyond! Thank you Noah and Team! read more

A pipe broke in our house and caused water to leak into a few rooms. They came out same day and took a look at everything to determine how much damage was done. The crew came the next day and got straight to work. They handled everything amazingly. They were very polite and clean. They took their time and handled each item with care. They cleaned up their work space and taped down all cords and wiped down the plastic liners before leaving. They communicated every step of the way with us and continue to do so during the drying process. read more

The work has started with Express Dry and if the rest of the team is just as good as Manuel and Jonny I am sure we will be very happy customers. Jonny and Manuel are true professionals, very polite and treated our home as if it was theirs. I know this is the very beginning stages but we are excited for whats to come. Thank you Jonny and Manuel for the great job you did in prepping our home for the rest of the process. You all are amazing and you both made a great first impression and represented your company well. Semper Fi , ( if you know, you know) S.S and family. read more

Express Dry is an amazing company with great employees. HOWEVER, be aware that sometimes Hero Restoration gets referred afterwards for the construction work. Hero Restoration hires employees that will steal from you and cover it up by disconnecting your internet connection to help themselves to your belongings when you are not at home. The owners of Hero Restoration are extremely unprofessional and will blame you for their failure. Aside from that Express Dry is an exemplary company! Just do yourself a favor and don't trust hero Restoration in your house. read more

Fast and efficient. Great communication and they really helped us out every step of the way. Glad I reach out to them. read more

Glad that we chose Express Dry Restoration to handle our water damage. Moises and Omar were very experienced, patient, thorough and reliable. They understood our concern and always reachable via phone/text to answer all the questions we had and give us update. Even after all the work was completed, they reached out to make sure that we were satisfied with their service. Highly recommend! read more

Every second with each individual from this company made us feel we are lucky. They were perfect professionals. Most of us in Southern California are going through financial hardship , both homeowners and contractors.and also the insurers , and anyone who goes paycheck to paycheck. There is always some unhappiness from some side in a contract job. But, we are happy that Express Dry handled every part of the contract with highest efficiency, quality, transparency, great communication,and documentation. They supported us with professional advice all the way with promptness. We do NOT hope to do business again, as we don't want to see another water damage!! LOL read more

I would definitely do business with this company again. Very helpful. Trustworthy. Dependable We had water damage from a leak in our toilet. Their service was prompt! read more

Our neighbor's toilet flooded our garage - Chapter Two Travis from TK plumbers hooked us up with Daniel at Express Dry. Daniel came the same day immediately after the plumbers left. Daniel guided us through the whole process, communicated with our insurance company and got an army of fans set up in our garage to start the drying. After a week of drying, he scheduled a team to remove the drywall and put us in touch with a contractor to rebuild the garage. Jose and Alex from Express Dry did all the drywall removal, and they were very clean and very thorough. Incredible guys and we appreciate their hard work! Jay and the Dry Express team did a great job with emailing pictures and an estimate to our insurance company. read more

Two weeks ago we had problem with our AC unit leading to water leak in our 2nd floor hallway and living room. Our plumber referred express dry so we called them based also on their reviews. Glad we did. They are very thorough on what they do and will make sure that the owners are well informed about the process. Shout out to Moses and specially Brandon who always give us a call to update us and answers all of our questions. To Johny, they must give you a raise, he checked every inch of the area to make sure that everything is dry that way we will not have a problem in the future. Also to all the other gentlemen who came, thank you guys. They are very respectful to our house, we have a toddler that likes to run around so they put good quality covers safely and nicely. They are willing to extend time just to vacuum to make sure they leave our house clean. Will definitely recommend! read more

Noah and the team were fantastic! When I had a water leak in my home they moved very quickly and had the packout team there within an hour and fans set up by the end of the day. They all communicated well with each other and my insurance company. I was able to just let them figure everything out. It was as stress free as something like this could possibly be. I highly recommend them! read more

Noah is THE MAN! So is everyone else from the team (Junior, Elder, and everyone else we interacted with). But Noah made a very stressful process as seamless as possible, and dealt directly with our insurance provider which was immensely helpful. Floods are not fun, but you are in good hands if the Express Dry crew is helping you dry everything out! read more

Very professional company ! Carlos and Fernando leave the house pretty clean and dry !

I was connected to Express Dry through a plumber and was highly satisfied with Express Dry. Their crew did a fantastic job. Gabe, Omar, Junior and Juan were extremely professional, helpful, patient, cleaned up the job site and followed through with all the proper paperwork as well as working directly with my insurance company. Thank you for the five star service. read more

EXPRESS DRY was on point! They were quick, efficient and caring! My mom is 91 years old and they were diligent in making sure she was safe to move around in her home. They brought in a hepa filter and made sure it was located close to where she spends most of her time. She has some breathing issues, so this is crucial. JOHNNY and MANNY were empicable, thorough, and KIND! I highly recommend this team of professionals! THEY ARE LOVELY HUMANS!!! Shoutout to Moises, Omar, Elder, and anyone, I may have forgot to mention ‍the PACKOUT guys were all GREAT...allowing me to dictate where to put stuff...So many people helped out!!! THANKS SO MUCH FOR MAKING IT A LESS STRESSFUL SITUATION read more

We called Express Dry when our kitchen plumbing sprung a leak. They were onsite THAT day and took us though the entire process. Omar was our project manager and his professional and courteous competence made this otherwise horrible experience easy. We will 1000% call Express Dry if we ever have a water leak again. It sucks to have to deal with a water leak, but with Express Dry, we were amazed by their lightning quick response and amazing recovery efforts. read more

Express Dry was a dream to work with. From the onset with Moises doing the estimate work, then Omar handling our project their team was quick efficient and effective. (Started remediation the day after we called). This was my wife and my first experience with water damage and they made the process much less intimidating with their superior communication, service, and knowledge. Couldn't recommend them any higher. read more

Water damage is a catastrophic event and there's no time to waste getting a team assembled to protect your home and furnishings. I got lucky. A friend referred me to Noah Lopez with Express Dry Restoration. With 1 phone call Noah and his team of angels like clockwork were at my home within hour removing furniture and setting up a plastic enclosure in preparation of the demolition team coming the next morning to remove my soaked drywall ceiling and wall. Noah is the guy you want in an emergency. Noah's like the captain of your ship ready to guide you through the rough waters ahead step by step. Noah responds quickly when you call or send him a text message. Noah follows up with you to make sure everything is going along as scheduled. I don't know what I would have done without the help of Noah Lopez. I didn't bother shopping around since the majority of the restoration companies are all corporates and in most cases corporates charge higher fees and offer less service. I prefer independent service companies that offer personalized service. And for that reason I highly recommend Express Dry Restoration as your FIRST call when you see water damage in your home. read more

Still dealing with aftermath of this company. Their ridiculous invoicing made our insurance company drop us.

This is an excellent company. At a very bad time in my life where I had a leak from a burst water pipe, they helped me immensely. Gabe immediately came out on a Sunday and started the drying process. He outlined the steps and guided me. The team has been extremely responsive and reliable. Omar called me with updates. They treated my home with respect even when I was absent. I can't tell you just how amazing this team is. 100% would call them again. I wish they could remodel my home! :) read more

We noticed some water flooding from our washing machine upstairs, which unfortunately trickled down to the lower level and damaged our ceiling, walls, and obviously the floors. This company was a relief to us, but Moises Munoz was a life saver. He was reliable, professional, timely, efficient, and very informative. We were in a bind, and mentally a mess with all The damage, but he just helped our process flow with ease and confidence: both with us and with our homeowners insurance. Honestly, without him and his guidance we would have been lost and confused. We are grateful to him and his sincere efforts and assistance! read more
