Who We Are

Licensed, Local, and Ready 24/7

Aqua Guard Water Damage has spent years pulling water out of Wells basements, crawl spaces, and commercial units, and that hands-on history shows in how fast our crews assess a loss. We know which Wells neighborhoods sit on older clay pipe, which developments have a history of sump failures, and which zip codes flood first when storm drains back up.

We answer our own phones around the clock in Wells, which means the person who books your appointment already knows our schedule, our crew availability, and how fast we can realistically get a truck to your address.

Beyond the technical certifications, our crews are trained to communicate clearly under pressure, because a homeowner dealing with a flooded home deserves plain answers, not jargon.

Problem Awareness

Signs You Need Structural Drying Right Now

Water Stains or Discoloration

A stain that keeps reappearing after you paint over it is a signal, not a coincidence — the moisture source behind the wall hasn't been addressed and needs a moisture meter reading, not a fresh coat of paint. Repainting without finding the source just hides the problem for a few more weeks.

Musty Odor That Won't Air Out

A persistent musty smell in a basement or bathroom usually means microbial growth has already started somewhere you can't see, often inside wall cavities or under flooring. Air fresheners will mask it temporarily but won't touch the actual source.

Warped or Buckling Flooring

Carpet that stays damp or squishy days after you last noticed water is holding moisture against the subfloor, which is exactly the condition that lets mold take hold underneath.

Rising Water Bill With No Clear Cause

A running-water sound when every fixture in the house is off is a strong sign of a hidden leak feeding your rising bill.

Peeling Paint or Bubbling Wallpaper

Wallpaper that lifts at the seams after being fine for years is often a sign that humidity or a slow leak has changed the moisture level inside that wall.

Visible Mold Growth

Dark spotting in grout lines or around window frames is often the first visible sign of a moisture problem that's been developing for weeks.

Our Core Services

Every Structural Drying Solution Under One Roof

We treat Structural Drying as one continuous job rather than a series of handoffs — the crew that extracts the water is accountable for the drying results, and the drying results determine what reconstruction is actually needed.

Emergency Water Extraction

Standing water gets removed with commercial extraction equipment first, then we run moisture readings across every affected surface so the drying plan targets what's actually still wet, not what looks dry on the surface.

Structural Drying & Dehumidification

Drying logs track humidity, surface moisture, and airflow at every checkpoint, so you get documented proof the structure is dry before we close out the job — useful for your insurance claim too.

Sewage & Contaminated Water Cleanup

Our sewage cleanup protocol follows IICRC S500 contamination standards, isolating the affected area, removing unsalvageable materials, and disinfecting every surface that had contact with blackwater.

Mold Prevention & Remediation

Because mold can establish in as little as 48 hours, our drying timeline is built around beating that window rather than treating mold prevention as an afterthought.

Reconstruction & Repairs

Once the structure tests dry, our reconstruction team handles drywall, insulation, flooring, and trim so you're not managing a second contractor after the restoration crew leaves.

Content Cleaning & Pack-Out

Furniture, documents, and electronics affected by water intrusion get assessed on-site, with salvageable items cleaned and stored while unsalvageable items are documented for your claim.

How Our Structural Drying Response Works

Call Dispatch

You call +1-844-234-5373 and speak with a live dispatcher, not a voicemail system — we ask a few quick questions about the source and severity so the crew arrives prepared.

Rapid On-Site Assessment

The assessment sets the entire plan — skipping it or rushing it is how jobs end up with hidden moisture pockets months later.

Extraction & Drying

Standing water comes out first with truck-mount equipment, then air movers and dehumidifiers go to work based on the psychrometric numbers we recorded.

Verification & Repairs

We re-test every affected area before calling a job complete, then coordinate repairs so you're not left with an open punch list.

Why Choose Us

What Makes Aqua Guard Water Damage Different

Licensed & Insured

We operate under proper licensing and insurance in every market we serve, with documentation available on request.

Fast Local Dispatch

A crew close by isn't a marketing line — it's the difference between drying equipment running in an hour versus waiting half a day.

Upfront Flat-Rate Pricing

We'd rather explain the cost clearly upfront than have that conversation after the job is already underway.

Satisfaction Guarantee

We stand behind every job with a documented re-inspection before we consider the work complete.

We Don't Leave Until the Job Is Verified Dry

We'd rather run drying equipment an extra day at our own cost than close out a job with a moisture reading we're not confident in.

Our technicians don't get paid faster by closing jobs early, which keeps the incentive aligned with actually finishing the drying properly.

Customer Reviews

What Our Customers Say

★★★★★

"The team here in Wells treated our emergency like it actually mattered, not like another ticket in a queue, and the drying documentation they left us was thorough enough to hand straight to our insurer."

James R., Wells
★★★★★

"Our basement took on water during a storm and the crew classified it, extracted it, and had dehumidifiers running the same afternoon. The final invoice matched the upfront quote exactly."

Denise M., Wells
★★★★★

"They didn't cut corners on the contaminated water cleanup even though it would have been faster to skip the sanitization step — that mattered to me given we have young kids in the house."

Marcus T., Wells
★★★★★

"The reconstruction crew matched our original flooring almost perfectly after the water damage repair — you'd never know there was a leak."

Priya S., Wells
★★★★★

"We had a slow leak we didn't notice for weeks and the crew found moisture in places we never would have checked using thermal imaging."

Carlos V., Wells
★★★★★

"They minimized business disruption by sectioning off the wet area instead of shutting down the whole space during drying."

Angela F., Wells
★★★★★

"The tech explained exactly which boards needed to come out and which ones tested dry enough to keep, so we didn't pay to replace more than necessary."

Tyrone B., Wells
★★★★★

"They explained the sump discharge issue causing our crawl space flooding in plain terms and fixed it as part of the same visit instead of scheduling a separate appointment."

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast can a Structural Drying technician arrive in Wells, ME?
Our Wells crews typically reach an active water loss in under an hour, since trucks are staged locally rather than dispatched from a distant office.
What's the difference between clean water and gray water damage?
Category 1 water is sanitary at the source, while Category 2 water has picked up detergents, food particles, or other contaminants that call for more careful handling during extraction.
Do you move or store damaged belongings during the drying process?
Yes, we can relocate salvageable contents out of the affected area so drying equipment has clear access and your belongings aren't sitting in a wet environment.
What information should I have ready when I call?
It helps to know roughly where the water is coming from, how long it's been an issue, and whether the water looks clean or contaminated, though we can walk you through it if you're not sure.
Do you provide upfront pricing?
Yes, every job starts with a written flat-rate estimate before any equipment is turned on, so there are no surprise line items later.
What emergency services are available?
We handle 24/7 emergency water extraction, structural drying, sewage cleanup, mold prevention, and reconstruction under one call.
Do you work directly with insurance companies?
We provide the documentation adjusters expect, including moisture readings and photo evidence, and we're happy to speak with your insurance company directly.
How do you classify contaminated water?
Water gets classified on arrival using IICRC S500 guidelines, which determines whether standard extraction or full contamination protocols apply.
How long does structural drying typically take?
Most residential drying cycles run three to five days, verified with daily moisture readings rather than a fixed calendar guess.
Will you need to remove drywall or flooring?
Only where materials can't be safely dried and sanitized — our goal is to save as much of the original structure as possible.
Can you help prevent mold after a leak?
Yes, antimicrobial treatment is applied to affected porous materials as part of the standard drying process, especially after 48 hours of exposure.
Do you offer service outside normal business hours?
Our dispatch line runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays, because water damage doesn't wait for business hours.
What should I do while waiting for the crew to arrive?
If it's safe, shut off the water source, move valuables to a dry area, and avoid using electrical outlets near standing water until we arrive.
Do you handle commercial properties?
Yes, we service both residential and commercial properties, with equipment scaled to the size of the loss.
Is a small leak worth calling about?
A small leak left untreated is exactly how hidden mold problems start, so it's worth a moisture check even if the visible damage looks minor.
