About this company
All Dry Services of North County San Diego is a locally owned franchise based in Carlsbad that handles water damage, mold, fire, and storm restoration for homes and businesses across North County and greater San Diego. They operate under the national All Dry brand but are run by Rob Peterson, who frequently shows up on initial calls and inspections himself. The company does both mold testing and mold remediation, and they claim a 60-minute response time with 24/7 availability.
The standout here is their insurance navigation. Reviewers consistently mention that Rob and his team handle insurance coordination directly, from filing claims to working with adjusters and recommending other trades. Multiple property investors and real estate agents use them as a regular referral. The company states it never uses subcontractors, and reviews confirm the same crew (Rob, Will, Daniel, Jacob) shows up repeatedly. Their mold process includes containment, HEPA vacuuming, and dehumidification according to their FAQ page. They hold IICRC certification (firm #70143402).
Rob Peterson runs the operation with his son Will Peterson handling much of the field work alongside technicians Daniel (Dan Mereno) and Jacob. Repeat customers and referral sources like real estate agents and property managers make up a visible share of the review base, suggesting steady word-of-mouth rather than one-time transactional work.
A perfect 5.0 stars across 94 Google reviews is rare for any restoration company. That volume with zero recent negatives is worth noting, though it also means there is no complaint data to assess how they handle problems when things go wrong.

Review consensus
Rob Peterson draws the most praise, appearing by name in the majority of reviews. Customers highlight his same-day or next-day response, honest pricing, and willingness to explain every step of the process.

Daniel (Dan Mereno) gets credit for finding hidden leaks and doing careful tearout. Jacob is noted for meticulous, clean work. Several reviewers specifically mention that Rob did not upsell or pressure them into unnecessary services.

The review base includes a notable number of real estate agents, property investors, and repeat customers who send referrals. Craig Brown mentions owning rental properties and flipping homes, Kevin Pansky notes using the company three times across multiple offices and a residence, and several reviews reference All Dry as a referral from another service provider. This suggests the company has built a referral network among property industry contacts, which can indicate reliability but also means many reviews come from business relationships rather than one-time residential customers.

Ask for Rob on your initial call and confirm whether an independent mold test has been done or whether you should get one separately. If you are dealing with insurance, this team's track record of handling claims is a genuine strength worth leveraging. With no negative reviews to learn from, your strongest safeguard is getting a written scope of work and timeline before any demolition starts.
Keep in mind
- They do both mold testing and mold remediation, which is a conflict of interest. The same company that tells you how bad the problem is also profits from fixing it. Consider getting an independent mold test from a separate inspector before or after their assessment.
- This is a franchise location under the national All Dry Services brand, not a fully independent local company. Franchise operations can vary in quality from location to location, and corporate policies may affect pricing or service terms.
- With 94 reviews and zero negatives, there is no data on how this company handles disputes or unsatisfied customers. Ask for references from jobs that had complications.
- Their service area lists 22 communities across North County and San Diego. If you are on the outer edges (Pauma Valley, Valley Center, Pala), confirm response time expectations before booking.
