Dry Up Restoration
Provider snapshot
What this listing says
South Florida homeowners and property managers needing fast-response water or mold work from a family-owned outfit with 50-plus technicians across three offices.
Best for
- Broward County homeowners dealing with water damage or mold who want same-day response from a company with multiple field crews.
- Property managers and realtors who need a repeat-use restoration partner — several reviewers describe using Dry Up across multiple properties over years.
- Condo associations or commercial buildings hit by pipe bursts or sprinkler failures, where fast containment and direct insurance billing matter.
- Homeowners who discovered mold after a leak and want one company to handle testing through remediation — though you should understand the conflict of interest this creates.
- South Florida residents needing storm or hurricane cleanup, given the company's track record during Hurricanes Debby and other recent events.
About this company
Dry Up Restoration runs out of Oakland Park, FL, as a family-owned operation covering Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach counties, with additional offices in Orlando (Winter Garden) and Tampa. The Iragorri family handles strategy, administration, and finance, while Tomas Delgado manages operations and field crews. They claim more than 50 technicians and a 45-minute dispatch window for emergencies.
Their mold work includes testing, containment, air filtration, material removal, and post-remediation verification. They also handle water damage, fire and smoke restoration, sewage cleanup, storm damage, and leak detection — including slab leaks and AC leaks. The website lists IICRC membership. They bill insurance carriers directly and list 17 accepted insurers by name, including State Farm, Allstate, USAA, and Liberty Mutual.
The company markets itself as one of the fastest-growing privately held restoration firms in South Florida. Multiple reviews come from realtors and property managers who describe repeat use over several years, which suggests steady commercial relationships rather than one-off residential jobs.
4.9 stars across 201 Google reviews is unusually high for a restoration company operating at this scale. Only one review in the last 18 months fell below 4 stars. That volume and consistency, especially from repeat commercial clients, points to reliable execution.

Review consensus
Tomas Delgado draws the most mentions — reviewers describe him inspecting properties personally, locating hidden leaks with an infrared camera, and following up throughout the process. George (Jorge Trujillo) and Eli appear together on multiple jobs and get praised for clean, on-time field work. Isabela handles intake and coordination; several reviewers credit her with fast scheduling and clear communication. Jefferson shows up in mold-specific reviews for explaining the remediation process. Repeat clients — realtors, property managers, insurance agents — describe using the company across multiple properties over years and cite honesty about whether work is actually needed. Multiple reviewers mention that Dry Up told them treatment was unnecessary when the issue turned out to be superficial.
1 found across 201 total reviews at 4.9★. 1 found across 201 total reviews at 4.9 stars. Marie G, a Local Guide with 112 reviews, left a 1-star rating in March 2026 with no review text. The owner responded two months later thanking her for 'trusting Dry Up Restoration' and referencing Tomas helping with mold concerns — a response that reads as if the experience was positive. With no complaint text and a seemingly mismatched owner reply, this single negative offers no usable signal about service problems.
The review base skews heavily toward real estate and property management contacts. Realtors (Robin Landau, Kirenia Yrma, Rene Fernandez, Sharon Podwol), property managers (Edgar Farinas, Jose Zelaya), and an insurance agent (Gabi Caniza) all describe repeat use. This suggests the company builds its pipeline through industry relationships rather than consumer marketing. That is a positive credibility signal — these reviewers have reputations to protect — but it also means the typical homeowner finding Dry Up through a Google search may not have the same relationship leverage as a referring agent.
Tomas Delgado (Operations Manager — praised across many reviews for hands-on inspections, honesty, and fast response). George/Jorge Trujillo (field technician — praised for patience, cleanliness, and quality work). Eli/Ely (field technician — paired with George on multiple jobs, praised for efficiency). Isabela/Isabella (coordination/intake — praised for fast scheduling and communication). Jefferson/Jeff (field technician — praised for mold remediation work and explaining processes). Sasha (support role — praised for attentiveness). Adrian (field team lead — praised for compassion during hurricane recovery). Rose (field team lead — praised for mold removal work). Lily (coordination — praised for assessment and estimates).
Ask for Tomas if you want a direct assessment from the operations manager — multiple reviewers say he showed up personally and was honest about whether work was needed. For mold jobs, request a scope of work in writing before starting, and get your post-remediation testing done by an independent assessor rather than a firm Dry Up recommends. The review record is strong enough that the main risk is not quality — it is making sure the testing-plus-remediation structure does not lead to unnecessary work.
Keep in mind
- Dry Up Restoration does both mold testing and mold remediation. When the same company tests and remediates, they have a financial incentive to find problems. Consider getting an independent mold assessment before committing to remediation work.
- The service area spans three metro regions — South Florida, Orlando, and Tampa. Ask which office and crew would handle your job, and confirm response times for your specific location.
- The website makes broad claims ('fastest growing,' '50+ technicians') but does not list specific certifications for individual technicians or detail the equipment used. Ask for specifics before signing.
- One reviewer (Marcela Gomez) identifies herself as a mold assessment company that provides third-party services alongside Dry Up. That business relationship is worth understanding if they recommend her firm for your post-remediation testing.
