About DryHero Flood Restoration

My name is Ritch Paprocki, owner of DryHero (Disaster Restoration Systems, Inc.).  Welcome to our site and thank you for your interest our company.  If you’re reading this, you’re no doubt trying to investigate water damage restoration or mold remediation companies in the Lincoln and Omaha Nebraska area.  I empathize with your challenge of trying to quickly determine who is competent to perform your restoration work and who can you trust to work in your home.  Hopefully I can make your decision easier by sharing my background with you.

Background
My career in the fire and water damage restoration industry began in 1985 when I took a part-time job with ServiceMaster.  That restoration technician job helped me pay my way through college and eventually earn an Engineering degree from the University of Nebraska - Lincoln.  Omaha’s Peter Kiewit hired me right out of college as a Project Engineer on heavy construction projects. 

When the opportunity to move back to Lincoln Nebraska arose in 1994, I took it.  The next ten years were spent with the Lincoln Nebraska franchise of Paul Davis Restoration.  However, as the General Manager of Paul Davis Restoration, I found myself unemployed when the franchise sold in 2004.  Although that was a challenging time for my family, we learned a great deal about ourselves and like many things in life, it was a blessing in disguise.

DryHero Launches with a Fresh Objective
After much consternation and soul searching, my wife, Jodie (a school teacher) and I decided to take the risk and pursue our passion for service and water damage restoration.  In 2004 we started DryHero from scratch.  We decided NOT to buy a franchise in an effort to minimize inefficiencies, control overhead and most of all, have the freedom operate our business the way we saw fit. 

Instead of buying someone else’s system, we took our combined backgrounds and experience to build a company capable of delivering professional drying, mitigation and restoration services while providing old-fashioned Nebraska values.  We focused less on image and more on the content of our restoration service.  As a result, we try to exceed expecations and pass real savings on to our clients.

We’ll Completely Dry your Water Damaged House or it’s Free!
I’m confident that DryHero delivers the most thorough water damage restoration and drying services available.  In fact, I guarantee that we’ll completely dry your water damaged home…or it’s free!  Nobody else even comes close to this statement. 

How can we be so bold?  Simple.  We actively pursue the best training and drying systems available.  I’m confident that we can find the hidden moisture trapped within your water damaged home and effectively remove it.  You have my word on it.

I admit that I was a little worried when I called you for emergency services Christmas Day. Your response was professional, prompt and you arrived ready for work without delay. As one of my maintenance staff put it, 'The other restoration companies are all talk and no action. These guys are the real deal!'”
