CFDR vs. Rytech Restoration: Full-Service Local Pros vs. a Water-Only Franchise
Rytech is a national franchise focused on water mitigation — extraction and drying only. When your loss also involves mold, reconstruction, or insurance documentation, you need a full-service partner, not a mitigation-only company.
Call 321-420-7274 — Talk to RyanRytech Stops at Drying. Most Florida Water Damage Jobs Don't.
After a pipe burst or appliance flood in Florida, you need three things: mitigation (stop the damage, extract water, dry the structure), mold remediation (address mold that begins within 24–48 hours in Florida's heat), and reconstruction (replace what was damaged). Rytech covers step one. Our network pros cover all three — with one point of contact, one insurance estimate, and no coordination gaps between trades.

Rytech hands you off after drying. We stay through completion.
Mitigation + mold + rebuild under one roof
Rytech's franchise model ends at drying. You then need to find a separate licensed mold remediator and a separate general contractor. With CFDR, the same matched pro coordinates all three — and your insurance estimate covers the full scope.
Licensed Florida mold remediation included
Florida's heat means mold begins within 24–48 hours of a water event. Our network pros hold Florida Mold Remediator License MRSR5370. You don't need to find a separate mold company after Rytech leaves.
One point of contact — the owner
Ryan Solberg answers personally, 24/7/365. Not a franchise call center. Not a dispatcher. The owner. If anything goes wrong, you have his direct cell from Day 1.
No franchise royalty in your rates
National franchises like Rytech have built-in corporate royalty overhead that flows through to your pricing. Independent local pros don't carry that overhead — meaning competitive rates without the franchise markup.
Full Xactimate scope — not just mitigation
Rytech's estimate covers mitigation only. Our pros write Xactimate estimates for the full scope: mitigation, mold remediation, and reconstruction. One estimate, accepted by all major Florida carriers.
60-minute on-site target — matched local
Ryan matches your job to a vetted local pro with the right equipment and experience for your specific loss type. Franchise dispatch goes to whoever is available, not whoever is best-matched.
What Florida Homeowners Say
"I called Rytech first after my water heater burst. They came out, dried the floors, and then told me I needed to call someone else for the mold and another contractor for the repairs. CFDR handled all of it — one company, one contact, one invoice. I wish I had called Ryan first."
