Who We Are

The Team Behind the Truck

We run our Old Town operation on IICRC-certified technicians and commercial-grade equipment, not a subcontractor list we pull from when the phone rings.

Local pricing means local pricing — our Old Town estimates reflect actual regional labor and material costs, not a national average that leaves you either overpaying or underinsured.

Ongoing training matters more to us than a certificate on the wall — drying standards and equipment change, and our crews train against the current standard, not the one from five years ago.

Worth a Second Look

Signs Your Property Needs Water Removal

Water damage rarely starts as a dramatic flood — it usually starts small, and these are the signs worth acting on before the damage spreads further.

A Ceiling Stain That Keeps Coming Back

Fresh paint over an old stain can hide the problem visually for a month or two, right up until the drywall paper backing gives out.

A Basement That Smells Different Than It Used To

If a dehumidifier and open windows don't clear the smell within a day or two, there's an active moisture source that ventilation alone won't solve.

Flooring That Feels Different Underfoot

Hardwood cupping at the edges, laminate lifting at the seams, or carpet that stays spongy days after you last noticed water — all three point to moisture sitting against the subfloor.

A Water Bill That Jumped for No Reason

Catching a hidden leak through the water bill is far cheaper than waiting for it to surface as a flooded room.

Paint or Wallpaper Lifting Away From the Wall

Bubbling paint near a baseboard or exterior wall usually means moisture is pushing through from behind rather than a simple application defect.

Any Visible Mold, Even a Small Patch

Mold that returns after a bleach cleaning is a sign the moisture source behind it was never actually addressed.

Catching two or more of these signs at once usually means it's past time for a proper inspection.

Core Services

One Crew, Every Stage of Water Removal

Bouncing between an extraction company, a drying company, and a repair contractor is how small jobs turn into weeks-long headaches — we keep all three under one roof on purpose.

The equipment on our trucks scales up or down to the job, but the process — assess, extract, dry, verify, repair — doesn't change.

Emergency Extraction, First Hour Priority

The first hour after a water loss decides how much of the structure is salvageable, which is why extraction is always the first truck-mount job, not an afterthought behind paperwork.

Structural Drying, Tracked With Real Numbers

Air movers and dehumidifiers get placed according to psychrometric readings taken at assessment, not a default layout used on every job regardless of conditions.

Category 3 & Sewage Cleanup

Our sewage cleanup protocol follows IICRC S500 guidelines start to finish, including isolation of the affected zone and disposal documentation.

Mold Prevention Built Into the Drying Plan

Antimicrobial treatment on studs, subfloor, and other porous surfaces happens during the drying phase, especially anywhere that stayed wet more than 48 hours.

Reconstruction Under the Same Contract

One contract from extraction through reconstruction means you're not managing two separate companies and two separate invoices.

Content Pack-Out & Cleaning

We inventory and relocate contents that need to leave the affected area, then coordinate their return once the space is verified dry.

How It Works

Our Water Removal Response, Step by Step

Four steps, no guesswork — here's exactly what happens between your call and a verified-dry structure.

Dispatch Picks Up

A live dispatcher, not a voicemail tree, takes your call and asks a few quick questions about the source and severity so the crew rolls out prepared.

Technician Maps the Damage

Photo and moisture documentation happens before any equipment gets touched, which protects your insurance claim later.

Extraction, Then Drying

Equipment placement follows the specific psychrometric numbers from assessment, not a generic pattern used on every job.

Verified Dry, Then Repaired

Every affected area gets re-tested before we call the job complete — no shortcuts on the sign-off.

Why Choose Us

The Aqua Guard Water Damage Standard

None of these four things matter in isolation — it's the combination of licensing, speed, honest pricing, and a real guarantee that actually changes the outcome of a water emergency.

Licensed & Insured

Every technician carries IICRC certification, and every crew works fully insured — documentation available whenever you want it.

Fast Local Dispatch

Shorter drive times matter most in the first hour after a loss, which is exactly when local staging pays off.

Upfront Flat-Rate Pricing

You get a written estimate before equipment turns on, not a surprise invoice after the fact.

Backed by a Real Guarantee

A guarantee only counts if it's backed by a second moisture reading, not just good intentions.

The Aqua Guard Water Damage Promise

If our readings don't hit a safe drying standard on schedule, equipment stays running at our cost until they do — that's the bar we hold ourselves to.

The standard doesn't change based on job size — a single bathroom flood gets the same sign-off criteria as a full commercial loss.

Reviews

What Customers Tell Us Afterward

★★★★★

"I've dealt with contractors before who talk a big game and disappear. The crew here in Old Town actually showed up on time and stayed in touch through the whole drying process."

Renee A., Old Town
★★★★★

"A storm backed water into our finished basement and the crew classified it, extracted it, and had dehumidifiers running that same afternoon. The invoice matched the quote to the dollar."

Owen D., Old Town
★★★★★

"Professional from the first call to the final walkthrough, and they re-tested moisture before closing the job instead of eyeballing it."

Fatima J., Old Town
★★★★★

"The reconstruction crew matched our original flooring almost exactly after the repair — you'd never guess there was ever a leak."

Lucas P., Old Town
★★★★★

"Getting a daily drying log meant we always knew where the job stood instead of a vague verbal update."

Grace T., Old Town
★★★★★

"Our office flooded overnight and industrial equipment was already running before our staff arrived for the morning shift."

Nathaniel W., Old Town
★★★★★

"A cracked supply line under our kitchen sink went unnoticed for days, and by the time we called, the subfloor was saturated. They only replaced what actually tested wet, not the whole floor."

Bianca H., Old Town
★★★★★

"They explained the crawl space drainage issue in plain terms instead of technical jargon, and fixed it on the spot rather than scheduling a separate trip."

Derek S., Old Town
★★★★★

"They found the actual source of the leak instead of just drying the surface damage, which saved us from the same problem happening again in a month."

Melissa C., Old Town
★★★★★

"Being out of town when it happened was stressful enough — having a crew that could work directly with our property manager made it manageable."

Victor N., Old Town

How long does drying usually take?▼
Most residential drying cycles run three to five days, confirmed with daily moisture readings rather than a fixed calendar guess.
Will drywall or flooring need to come out?▼
Only where materials can't be safely dried and sanitized — the goal is saving as much of the original structure as possible.

Do you handle commercial properties?▼
Yes, we service both residential and commercial jobs, scaling equipment to the size of the loss.
Is it worth calling about a small leak?▼
A small leak left alone is exactly how hidden mold problems start, so it's worth a moisture check even if the visible damage looks minor.
What information should I have ready when I call?▼
It helps to know roughly where the water's coming from and whether it looks clean or contaminated, though we'll walk you through it if you're not sure.
Do you guarantee your drying results?▼
Yes — if moisture readings don't hit a safe standard on schedule, we keep equipment running at no extra charge until they do, verified with a second reading before we close the job.
Can I stay in my home during the drying process?▼
In most cases yes, especially if the affected area can be isolated from the rest of the living space, though we'll walk you through any air quality considerations specific to your situation.
