Locally Owned & Operated - A Native Texan

Hi, I’m Dustin, founder of Rapid Dry Moisture Recovery Services, proudly serving Central Texas. I was born and raised in Belton, Texas, and after spending over 15 years in Orlando, Florida, my family and I returned to our roots in 2023 to build something meaningful here — a dependable, high-integrity restoration service for our local community.

With a background in water damage restoration, carpet cleaning, and customer-first service, I’ve built my career on showing up when people need help the most. Whether it's a flooded home, a burst pipe, or simply needing your carpets brought back to life — I bring years of experience, advanced equipment, and a commitment to do the job right the first time.

I’ve worked in this industry for well over a decade, including hands-on field work, team leadership, and now full-time business ownership. I started Rapid Dry with one mission: to combine rapid response with quality workmanship, all backed by the kind of service I’d expect for my own family.

We don’t chase upsells or gimmicks — we fix problems, and we do it fast. I believe in real accountability, real transparency, and results that speak for themselves.
