Watch What Reets Drying Academy Students Are Saying

Letter from Interlink Supply by Cleaners Closet to Their Customers, May 28, 2009

"I'd like to take just a few moments of your time to share with you an invaluable resource now available to you called the Reets Drying Academy. Located at the home of a multi-million dollar restoration company in the Atlanta, Georgia area, the school consists of a top notch classroom and well constructed hands-on flood house. Now an accredited IICRC ASD facility, it is one of the best facilities, staff, and instruction in the industry today. Instructor Jeremy Reets and his team offer an educational experience like no other. Not only is the information taught reshaping the face of water damage restoration as we know it, but it is presented in a way that is both very enjoyable and completely comprehensive.

"I have had the privilege of being a student of Jeremy's on more than one occasion, including a four-day class called The World's Fastest Drying System. I would higly recommend taking the time to learn from a man who has achieved the kind of success in his restoration company that few people experience. In the twelve years that I have been in the industry, I have attended many classes. I am a Master Textile Cleaner, Master Fire & Smoke Restorer, and Master Water Restorer. I have been through factory technical courses, industry-specific training at Kent State University, and a plethora of other classes taught by industry icons from all over the country. I can honestly say that Reets' class is like no other I have been to.

"Please let me assure you that this is not a sales pitch. Interlink Supply by Cleaners Closet does not make a dime on your attendance to Reets classes. I share this information with you as a peer in the industry. Though I am your sales rep. I have always tried to take a completely unbiased approach in my service to you. I see myself as an adviser and consultant, not simply a "product pusher".

"Please take the time to look over the enclosed brochure. You don't want to miss out on this extraordinary opportunity to take your restoration company to new heights."

Student Feedback from ASD Course Held June 2-4, 2009

I previously attended Reets Drying Academy. Danielle informed me of the upcoming ASD class while we attended the Connections Conference. After attending the ASD class I achieved my objective of learning new techniques for difficult drying situations. I loved the incorporation of TES and xtreme xtracker in the variety of equipment used.

We strive to differentiate ourselves in a crowded and competitive market and we can always count on Reets Drying Academy to provide new ideas. It’s worth every dollar. Many thanks for the hospitality!

Reed Mattingly - Duraclean

 

I heard about Reets Drying Academy through the IICRC. I came open minded not knowing what to expect. You always learn from each class and student. I have attended 4 ASD schools and Reets Drying Academy teaches by principle not ego, which alone instills learning.

I greatly appreciated the variety of equipment used and not selling a brand. What I would tell others who are considering attending this course is that at Reets Drying Academy you’ll learn from practical experience not theory.

Bryan Brainerd - Paul Davis Restoration

 

My expectations before attending class were to learn more about structural drying including heat. My experience has been after attending this class that I now have a better understanding of what happens when you add heat to a drying system.

I would tell others who are considering attending that it’s a great course, more versed in other drying systems. I learned that I could add more heat and achieve a greater level of drying and not only adding heat from desiccants and refrigerants, but also direct heat and indirect heat units.

Jeremy Hettich - Royal Plus Inc.

 

Unbelievable. I would tell others interested in attending this class that it’s a must! It was amazing to see the different types of drying methods and to see first hand THE BEST!

Joel Dyess - Unique Floor Systems

 

My expectation before class was that it would be like a sales convention (sales show). My experience after attending class was that I learned to think outside the box. I was able to put my hands on things only seen in catalogs. Jeremy Reets has probably forgotten more about restoration than I can learn in my lifetime!

If you’re thinking of attending this class, please do it will open your mind to new ideas.

Student Feedback - The World's Best Training

Dear Jeremy,

It was a pleasure to meet you, your family, and everyone associated with the class. Your family and staff went out of their way to accommodate everyone in the class. It was the first time I had traveled out of my area for training, and I recommended the trip to my partner and anyone looking for training.

To flood a house from top to bottom was truly a unique experience. Then utilizing the tes system with other techniques to return the structure to its dry state awesome! Being able to save hardwood floors will definitely set me apart from my competition. This is an evolving science and techniques are always changing... This class is able to take real situations and try different techniques to dry some things you would not want to try in a customer's home, i.e. heating the crawl space to 160.

The marketing class on the last day was the motivation I needed to come home and hit the ground running. Knowing your product and having the confidence to market it are very important. We have been getting agents excited about our tes and with those marketing tips from you, I think they can't wait to get a water damage claim just to see us in action.

Thank you for all the time and effort everyone has put into the tes system and I look forward to my next class.

P.S. The food was great thank you for the taste of Georgia

 

We just returned from the Reets Drying Academy and were extreemly impressed with the entire experience. Since we are newbies in structural drying, we needed alot of hand holding. First, Jeremy Reets is a fantastic instructor with the ability to not only explain how his TES System works but why it is 'The World's Fastest Drying System!'. His course and school facility are top of the line. You are treated like a special guest in a friends home. The new flood house is state of the art. For anyone new to the business or with years of experience, Jeremy and his staff can take you to a new level in structural drying and the intricacies of operating in this industry. Needless to say we are excited about breaking into the business offering the best drying system available, TES!

Bob Pilkington - All Seasons Chem-Dry

 

Just want to thank you and your staff for the excellent training in December. After returning home December 12th we (my company) have been busy with frozen pipes. We dried using the tes and the e-tes a 5000 sq ft restaurant, a two story home dry in 4 days with two rooms of hard wood flrs. an 8,000 sq ft orthopedic clinic and a church 4000 sq.ft. dry on Christmas eve so they could hold their service. Over $56,000 in revenue before Christmas and that is just the Drying revenue. We also had 15 smaller jobs that we dried using air movers and dehumidifiers.

Thank you for taking the time to help us grow our business. I am a believer in putting heat to the water. There is no way we could have contracted projects this size with the process that we used to use. I am grateful for all you have given.

Taking this course was invaluable!

I learned 10 times more at this class than I learned last month at the 'advanced' course I took at ****'s place!

Gabe Matthews of Christian Brothers, La Mesa, CA

 

Jeremy's teaching skills are way above the standards of many of the other schools I have been to. The way the school is taught is easily comprehendible. Jeremy has started me on my way to becoming one of the best restorers in the world. Thank you!
