There's a specific kind of dread that comes with standing water spreading across a Catawba living room floor. We're built to shorten that window between the panic and the fix.

Written estimate, no hidden line items
IICRC-certified technicians on every truck
Aqua Guard Water Damage didn't parachute into Catawba with a rented truck and a stock script. Our technicians have worked this market long enough to know which neighborhoods sit low, which ones have older cast-iron plumbing, and which zip codes call in during every heavy storm.
Local pricing means local pricing — our Catawba 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.
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.
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 musty note that wasn't there a season ago usually means microbial growth has started somewhere behind a wall or under flooring, well before you can see anything.
A hollow sound from tile that used to sound solid usually means the mortar bed lost adhesion from sustained moisture underneath.
Catching a hidden leak through the water bill is far cheaper than waiting for it to surface as a flooded room.
Bubbling near a window frame frequently traces back to a failed seal letting water in gradually.
A small patch of mold in a corner or along a baseboard means conditions behind that surface have supported growth for a while — the source needs to be found, not just wiped away.
If more than one of these sounds familiar, it's worth a professional moisture check sooner rather than later.
We don't split Emergency Water Damage into separate vendors for extraction, drying, and repair — one crew stays accountable for the whole job, from the first wet-vac pass to the final coat of paint.
Every service below gets the same documentation standard, whether it's a single wet closet or a full commercial loss.
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.
We don't call a structure dry based on a visual check — the moisture meter has the final say before equipment comes down.
Materials that had direct contact with contaminated water almost always come out rather than get dried in place — that's a safety call, not a cost-cutting one.
We treat the 48-hour mold window as a deadline for our own drying timeline, not a talking point.
Reconstruction starts from the actual drying documentation, not a fresh guess, which keeps the repair scope accurate.
We inventory and relocate contents that need to leave the affected area, then coordinate their return once the space is verified dry.
Four steps, no guesswork — here's exactly what happens between your call and a verified-dry structure.
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.
Moisture meters and thermal cameras trace exactly how far water has traveled, including inside walls and under flooring where it's invisible to the eye.
Standing water comes out first with commercial extraction equipment, then air movers and dehumidifiers go to work based on the readings just taken.
Final verification is where corners often get cut industry-wide; we treat it as mandatory.
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.
We'll show you the credentials before we show you the invoice, if that's what puts you at ease.
A nearby crew isn't a slogan — it's the gap between drying equipment running in an hour versus half a day.
You get a written estimate before equipment turns on, not a surprise invoice after the fact.
A guarantee only counts if it's backed by a second moisture reading, not just good intentions.
We'd rather run a dehumidifier an extra day on our dime than sign off on a reading we're not confident in.
The standard doesn't change based on job size — a single bathroom flood gets the same sign-off criteria as a full commercial loss.
Call +1-844-578-1604Whether your address sits in 29704 or a neighboring zip, the same crew and the same response standard applies.
Coverage extends past the city core into the surrounding Catawba suburbs, so an outlying address isn't treated as a second-tier call.
"I've dealt with contractors before who talk a big game and disappear. The crew here in Catawba actually showed up on time and stayed in touch through the whole drying process."
Renee A., Catawba"The daily moisture log gave me something concrete to look at instead of just being told to trust the process."
Owen D., Catawba"The sewage backup in our basement bathroom got the full PPE-and-disinfection treatment, and they walked me through exactly why certain materials had to go."
Fatima J., Catawba"The reconstruction crew matched our original flooring almost exactly after the repair — you'd never guess there was ever a leak."
Lucas P., Catawba"Getting a daily drying log meant we always knew where the job stood instead of a vague verbal update."
Grace T., Catawba"They sectioned off the wet area instead of shutting down the whole office during drying, which kept us operating almost normally."
Nathaniel W., Catawba"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., Catawba"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., Catawba"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., Catawba"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., Catawba
