About this company
All Dry Services of Baton Rouge is a locally owned franchise location of the national All Dry brand, based in Baton Rouge, LA 70810. Mold is one piece of a broader restoration operation that also handles water damage, fire and smoke damage, storm damage, sewage cleanup, and odor removal. They serve both residential and commercial properties. The franchise advertises a 60-minute response time and 24/7 availability, and their website states they do not use subcontractors.
On the mold side, their website describes a three-step process: inspection using moisture meters and air quality testing, containment with sealed zones and negative air pressure, then removal using EPA-registered cleaning agents. They also offer mold testing, which means they both diagnose and treat the same problem. Their water damage process includes extraction with high-capacity pumps, drying with industrial dehumidifiers and air movers, and sanitization. Nothing about their equipment list is unusual for a restoration company of this type, but the owner-operator model stands out. Chuck Wattigny shows up repeatedly in reviews as the person who answers the phone, visits the site, and does or oversees the work.
The franchise link in their website footer confirms this is part of a national chain, but the review pattern suggests a small, owner-run operation where Chuck is the primary point of contact. Keith and Jailon Williams also appear as crew members in reviews.
70 Google reviews at a perfect 5.0 stars is notable. No reviewer in the data set gave fewer than 5 stars, and many reviewers have multiple reviews on their accounts (not single-review profiles). That kind of unanimity across two-plus years of reviews is uncommon for any restoration company.

Review consensus
Chuck is named in the majority of reviews and praised for fast response times (often arriving within 30 minutes to an hour), hands-on involvement throughout the job, honest pricing, and willingness to suggest cost-saving alternatives. Keith drew praise from Mitch Guillot for showing up on time with his crew and keeping the customer informed, and from Milton Janetos for being the most detailed and fairly priced of three estimates. Elijah was named alongside Chuck by Kevin Benton, a former Servpro employee, who said they exceeded his high expectations. Jailon Williams was praised by Diola Bagayoko for attention to detail. Multiple reviewers mention competitive pricing relative to other quotes they received.
0 found across 70 total reviews at 5.0★. No 1-star reviews found. No negative reviews of any rating exist in the last 18 months across 70 total reviews at 5.0 stars.
The review pattern reflects an owner-operator model where Chuck is personally involved in nearly every job, from the initial phone call through completion. This creates a strong personal-service signal but also raises a question about capacity. Several reviews mention Chuck by name as the person who answered, assessed, and did the work. If the business scales or Chuck is unavailable, the experience could change. Keith and Jailon Williams appear in a smaller number of reviews, suggesting the crew exists but Chuck remains the dominant presence.
Chuck Wattigny (owner/operator — consistently positive across dozens of reviews for responsiveness, honesty, and hands-on work). Keith (crew lead — positive, praised for punctuality, keeping customers informed, and giving fair estimates). Elijah (crew member — positive, noted for meeting high expectations on water damage work). Jailon Williams (crew member — positive, praised for attention to detail on mold removal).
Ask for Chuck directly and confirm he will be involved in your job. With 70 reviews and a perfect score, the track record is strong, but get an independent mold test if you need both testing and remediation. Confirm response time if you are outside central Baton Rouge.
Keep in mind
- All Dry does both mold testing and mold remediation, which creates a conflict of interest. A company that finds the mold also profits from removing it. Consider getting an independent mold test before committing to remediation work.
- This is a franchise of a national brand. The local operation runs lean with Chuck as the primary operator, but franchise standards and pricing structures are set at the corporate level.
- Their service area lists 29 cities across a wide stretch of Louisiana, from Hammond to Saint Gabriel. Response times to outlying areas may differ from the 60-minute window advertised for Baton Rouge.
- Every single review is 5 stars. While the review volume (70) and reviewer diversity support legitimacy, a perfect score across all reviews means you have no negative data points to evaluate potential problems.
