Chris came out to a house I am in escrow to buy and gave me a lot of really important information. He ended up referring me to a company that had a license to remove lead and asbestos and didn't charge me a dime. Even after we realized that he couldn't take on the job he spent a chunk of time examining the house and giving me advice. I'd hire him if I could. He is super nice, communicates very well, and is a total professional. read more

I highly recommend Chris at RescueDry. In my conversations with him, I found him to be not only good at what he does but also a good, honest person. He gave me a realistic, honest assessment about what was possible and what was not possible for my older home. read more

I have literally never spoken with a business owner who couldn't stop talking long enough to grasp a simple concept. Chris, Let me educate "you" on mold. Moisture no longer needs to be present for mold to have previously established itself and spores to be currently present under a floating floor. Every time you walk on a floating floor that does not have sealed borders, You are pushing air through the spores and out the sides of the floor.. If you can't grasp this, please pursue a new career. read more

Chris and his team are amazing! He was referred by a neighbor and I texted him as soon as I saw we had water damage from a burst water heater. He responded right away and came over the same day. He was very professional and knowledgeable and took the time to do everything possible to mitigate the damage and worked with my homeowners insurance. His team was fast and friendly and he was in communication with me every step of the way. Highly recommend! read more

We reached out to several companies to evaluate our space, and Chris stood out as the most engaging and helpful. He was prompt, treated our space with great care, and went above and beyond to help us open for business as quickly as possible. Alfonso and the rest of the crew did a fantastic job. Highly recommend them for any restoration needs. read more

I had a water issue and the plumber that came to my home recommended RescueDry. I was amazed at knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful both Chris and Alfonso were (I didn't get their apprentice's name). They even offered to send recommendations for other work I need done in my home. Great business, great people. read more

Not every water remediation service is the same, and I realized this after I had a leak and Chris and his team showed up. Their work was impeccable. They contained the area, used protective materials, and cleaned everything thoroughly. They set up a system that created negative pressure, so there was absolutely no dust anywhere in the house. Chris was meticulous and attentive to every detail, and the quality of their work was top-notch. While I hope to never experience water damage again, if I do, I would only trust Chris and his company to handle it. read more

I would highly recommend using Chris@ RescueDry. Chris and his employees were friendly, efficient, and arrived promptly. Chris clearly communicated the work that was needed and timeframe that was required to complete the job. He was available for questions and offered referral sources for additional work that I would need outside of his scope. I found the fees to be reasonable for the amount of time spent to set up machines, remove carpet, and contain the area. Nancy read more

Chris and his team came through super last minute and were amazing to deal with. I wasn't able to monitor this project at all but they came in and were super clean took care of business without any issues. It was great since I was just able to hand this off to him and his team and I didn't have to worry about what was going on at the apartment. 10/10 experience - wouldn't go with anyone else. read more

Chris and the entire RescueDry team are amazing! I've worked with them twice due to two different home water issues and both times the service was impeccable. Chris is so easy to work with, helps you through the entire process and is always accessible. Our most recent water issue occurred over New Years weekend, Chris was out to our house first thing Monday and we knew we were in good hands. Highly recommend using Chris if you have any water issues in your home - call him first! He will know exactly what to do. read more

I'm a landlord and got informed by my tenant that the toilet was leaking from behind the wall. I reached out to Rescue Dry for help. The crew arrived one hour after I called and got right to work. I receive honest trustworthy service as the guys were professional, knowledgeable and cleaned up the mess the flood created. read more

This review is to sincerely thank RescueDry SD for the stellar work Chris and his crew did at my house. Two weeks ago I noticed water around my stove. Concerned it might be a leak somewhere I called RescueDry and got Chris. Chris was sincerely concerned about helping me. He came right over and my anxiety decreased. Chris was very professional, knowledgeable, and knew exactly what to do. I had a pin hole leak in a kitchen pipe that was leaking under my tile floor and in my kitchen walls. Chris called a plumber in to stop the leak and started the repairs needed. What a relief and blessing. As a VP of Operations, this is what I call timely quality service... Thanks again RescueDry, Chris, and the entire crew. I truly appreciate you... JC read more

Team Rescue Dry San Diego came out ASAP, assessed the situation and initiated the dry out plan. Job was done in no time. Very competitive pricing and extreme quality work. Highly recommended!!! read more

Chris and his guys were amazing. Very responsive and helped me throughout the entire process. Would highly recommend RescueDry.

Highest recommendations ! You can count on Christopher Watts at RESCUE DRY SAN DIEGO - he'll take excellent care of you! Woke up to wet carpet spot in our older mobile home. PLUMBERS, INC. came out and advised floor area needed to be removed to access pipes (crawl space too low). We were advised to contact RESCUE DRY SAN DIEGO and Chris was here within a half hour! He thoroughly explained the process of what needed to be done with the floor as well as how to file our insurance claim. He coordinated the floor removal, and MOBILAB to test for mold and IT WAS ALL DONE THE SAME AFTERNOON - including mold test results! plus he followed up with us to make sure everything was ok. Chris invited us to contact him with any questions. We so much appreciate his immediate attention to detail and rapid response! read more

Yikes! My plumber, Daniel, who works with my home warranty company, referred my to Rescue Dry for water damage. The owner, Chris Watts, was very condescending to me. He kept calling me "sweetie" and "honey" and was super creepy. Then he was talking to me about the mildew-y smell underneath the sink and told me not to mention it to my insurance company. The whole interaction seemed pretty shady. Something in my gut told me not to trust Chris Watts. I ended up going through Angie's list and found a reputable water damage contractor to work with. Be careful of Chris Watts and Rescue Dry. The CSLB says he's a brand new contractor and may not have the expertise that is needed to do the job.. read more

I cannot say enough great things about Chris, the owner of RescueDry. Water damage is a highly stressful situation to deal with, it is something that no one can be fully prepared for, it does not come with an advanced notice, and is often an emergency. What makes Chris remarkable is that he GETS it. He understands the stress of homeowners that are dealing with water damage, and he, quite literally, takes ALL of that stress away, one piece at a time. In my experience, Chris is far more than just a water mitigation specialist: he becomes your project coordinator, crisis manager, damage prevention advisor, paperwork administrator, and even an emotional reassurance counselor at times :) I had a flood issue at my rental property in San Diego, however I recently moved to LA, so I was dreading having to make frequent trips to SD while juggling work and life otherwise. To my surprise, I didn't really have to disrupt my life, because Chris handled everything perfectly. He and his team showed up timely, coordinated directly with my tenants, covered the floors and protected the living place meticulously, cleaned up after the work was done, answered every question, were clean, polite, professional every step of the way. Around 4pm every afternoon Chris would call me with a detailed progress report, telling me what they found, what was done, what happens next, and answering any and all questions I may have. It gave me an incredible peace of mind that my project is in good hands and that everything will be okay. You don't expect a water damage specialist to become your emotional support coach, but this is what Chris provides with his services. I really think he has a special gift and a servant's heart. He clearly is deeply passionate about his profession, and takes great satisfaction in being able to help people. I wish every contractor was like Chris. God Bless! read more

Chris helped us with the flood damage caused by the broken pipe inside the wall. Chris and his crew took an immediate action to dry up all the moisture and prevent further damage. Chris' approach is oriented towards maximum results with minimum destruction. He aims to salvage everything that is salvageable and only removes what absolutely has to be. This made working with our insurance company very easy, because they did not question any of Chris' decisions, and saw them as fully justified and supported. I highly recommend Chris and RescueDry to anyone who needs great service, reasonable prices and stress-free process when dealing with water damage! read more

My experience working with Chris at RescueDry was exceptional. I'm a first time home owner who has very little experience or knowledge when it comes to emergency home repairs and returned from vacation with a soaking wet garage and broken water heater. Panicked and overwhelmed, I contacted RescueDry and the very same day - Chris arrived (this was a Sunday evening) to do a free water damage inspection. Immediately he sprang into action and came up with a straight forward and immediate plan to handle the water issues so there wouldn't be any long term water damage. He took care of everything from start to finish, answered all my questions, coordinated and communicated with the other vendors and was such a pleasure to work with! I honestly don't know what I would do without his help. I HIGHLY recommend you contact him for any and all your home improvement needs! Thank you so much Chris! read more

Chris Watts and Rescue Dry San Diego has got to be one of the most professional, caring and compassionate service companies I've ever had the pleasure to deal with. We had a pipe burst and Chris Watts was at our house within 30 minutes to mitigate any more damage to our property. The team set up dehumidifiers and fans and isolated the area to keep dust and moisture from going throughout the house as they removed drywall, tile and hardwood floors. Chris also helped us with getting our claim filed with the insurance company and navigating the system. This was a major leak with major damage and Chris and his team made this as painless as possible. Truly an epic company and team members. I would highly recommend Chris Watts and Rescue Dry San Diego for any of your remediation needs. read more

Chris was excellent at coming out quickly, diagnosing the issue and recommending visigation efforts to fix and contain damage from a leaking hot water heater. He was able to guide us through the insurance process and what to expect. Super high-performance and nothing but praise from this family in Carlsbad. read more
