When a pipe bursts or a storm backs up your drain lines, waiting on hold is the last thing you can afford. Our Ellsworth-based crews carry moisture meters and truck-mount extraction equipment on every rig so the drying process starts the moment we knock on your door.

Aqua Guard Water Damage has spent years pulling water out of Ellsworth basements, crawl spaces, and commercial units, and that hands-on history shows in how fast our crews assess a loss. We know which Ellsworth 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.
Every technician on our Ellsworth roster is background-checked, licensed, and insured, and every truck is stocked with commercial-grade air movers, low-grain-refrigerant dehumidifiers, and antimicrobial treatment for contaminated water intrusion.
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.
Yellow-brown rings on your ceiling or walls almost always mean water has been sitting behind the surface longer than you think, and the drywall paper backing is likely already feeding mold growth. Waiting to see if the stain spreads only gives moisture more time to travel further into the structure.
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.
Hardwood that's cupping at the edges or laminate that's separating at the seams is a classic sign of moisture intrusion from below, whether that's a slab leak or groundwater seepage. The longer it sits, the harder the flooring is to salvage.
An unexplained jump in your water bill is frequently the first sign of a slab leak or a failing supply line long before any visible water appears. Catching it at this stage is far cheaper than waiting for a visible flood.
Bubbling near a window or exterior wall frequently points to a flashing or seal failure letting water into the wall cavity a little at a time.
Mold that returns after cleaning with bleach is a sign the underlying moisture source was never addressed, since surface cleaning does nothing for saturated material behind the wall.
Our Structural Drying process covers every stage of a water loss, from the first extraction pass to the final coat of paint, so you're never left coordinating separate contractors mid-project.
Our crews arrive with truck-mount extraction units capable of pulling thousands of gallons per hour, using moisture meters to classify the water as Category 1, 2, or 3 before drying even starts.
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.
Blackwater jobs get treated with extra caution, since porous materials that touched contaminated water almost always need to be removed rather than dried in place.
Once structural drying is underway, we apply antimicrobial treatments to studs, subfloor, and other porous surfaces to stop mold colonies before they establish, especially in areas that stayed wet more than 48 hours.
We handle everything from replacing water-damaged drywall and insulation to refinishing floors, so the property is restored to pre-loss condition under one contract instead of three.
We inventory and pack out contents that need to leave the affected area during drying, then coordinate their return once the space is verified dry and repairs are complete.
Dispatch asks enough to prep the right equipment before the truck even leaves, so the crew isn't guessing what they'll find on arrival.
We document the loss with photos and moisture readings before touching anything, which also protects your insurance claim.
We set drying equipment based on the specific moisture readings taken during assessment, not a generic placement pattern.
Once moisture readings confirm the structure is dry, we hand you documentation and move into any needed reconstruction.
Every technician carries IICRC certification and our crews are fully insured for your protection on every job.
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.
You get a written estimate before work begins, not a surprise invoice after the drying equipment is already running.
A guarantee only means something if it's backed by a second set of moisture readings, not just a handshake at the end of the visit.
If our moisture readings don't hit a safe drying standard on schedule, we keep equipment on site at no additional cost until they do — that's the standard we hold ourselves to.
Our technicians don't get paid faster by closing jobs early, which keeps the incentive aligned with actually finishing the drying properly.

We track call volume by zip code across Ellsworth to keep crew staffing matched to where emergencies actually happen most often.
"I called in a panic at 11pm and someone actually picked up. The tech here in Ellsworth had air movers set up before midnight and explained exactly what they were doing and why."
James R., Ellsworth"What impressed me most was the daily moisture log — I could actually see the numbers improving instead of just being told to trust the process."
Denise M., Ellsworth"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., Ellsworth"Every question I asked got a straight answer, even the ones about cost, which is rare after dealing with two other contractors who kept dodging the pricing conversation."
Priya S., Ellsworth"Drying logs were shared with us daily so we always knew exactly where the job stood, not just a vague 'it's drying' update."
Carlos V., Ellsworth"Coordinating a commercial job around our operating hours could have been a nightmare, but their crew worked around our schedule without us having to ask twice."
Angela F., Ellsworth"A cracked supply line under the kitchen sink went unnoticed for days and by the time we called, the subfloor was saturated. The crew pulled the damaged material and had drying equipment running within the hour."
Tyrone B., Ellsworth"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."
Wendy K., Ellsworth
