What does the flood house look like?
We’ve purposefully made sure to make our flood house look very much like a regular house with tile, hardwood flooring, and carpet. We want this to feel like a real world drying experience.

Do you guys actually work? Or just have fun all the time?
Both! Sure, sometimes we hold dessert contests for students to taste and vote on and occasionally Jeremy’s son brings a hover board into the office for all to enjoy, but first and foremost we put a lot of thought, effort, and work into making Reets Drying Academy a place of success and education. We just believe in balance. It’s been said, “If you can laugh together, you can work together.”
What kind of food is served? And what if I have allergies/special diet?
Here at Reets Drying Academy, we believe in good food. That’s why we provide hot lunches every day when you come to class. Often we have Chick-Fil-A, Olive Garden, Chipotle, fried catfish, Willy’s Mexican, and so much more! If you have any dietary restrictions, please give us a call before class and we will make sure to have food options to accommodate your needs!
