Who We Are

Licensed, Local, and Ready 24/7

Our Memphis technicians hold IICRC water restoration certifications and carry that training into every job, from a Category 1 clean-water leak to a Category 3 sewage backup. We're not a call center routing you to a random subcontractor; we're the crew that shows up.

Every technician on our Memphis 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.

We also carry direct experience working alongside insurance adjusters, so the documentation we generate on day one is already formatted the way most carriers expect to see it.

Problem Awareness

Signs You Need Structural Drying Right Now

Water Stains or Discoloration

Ceiling stains near a bathroom or kitchen almost always trace back to a plumbing failure rather than a roof leak, which means the source is often closer and easier to fix than homeowners assume.

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

If your usage climbs but nothing in your household routine changed, a hidden leak behind a wall or under the foundation is worth investigating immediately, since slab leaks rarely announce themselves any other way.

Peeling Paint or Bubbling Wallpaper

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.

Visible Mold Growth

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 Core Services

Comprehensive Structural Drying You Can Count On

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

We prioritize extraction speed above everything else in the first hour, because every additional hour standing water sits raises the odds of secondary damage to subfloors and framing.

Structural Drying & Dehumidification

Equipment placement isn't guesswork; it's calculated from psychrometric readings taken at the start of the job and adjusted daily as conditions change.

Sewage & Contaminated Water Cleanup

Category 3 blackwater intrusions require full PPE, controlled demolition of porous materials that can't be sanitized, and hospital-grade antimicrobial treatment before reconstruction begins.

Mold Prevention & Remediation

If mold has already taken hold, our containment and remediation process isolates the affected zone with negative air pressure before any demolition begins, keeping spores from spreading to unaffected rooms.

Reconstruction & Repairs

The same team that documented the damage and dried the structure hands off directly to reconstruction, which keeps the whole timeline shorter and the paperwork simpler.

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.

Our Process

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

Technicians arrive with moisture meters and thermal cameras to map exactly how far the water has traveled, including inside walls and under flooring where you can't see it.

Extraction & Drying

Extraction and drying run as one continuous process rather than two separate visits, which keeps the timeline tighter.

Verification & Repairs

Final verification is where a lot of shortcuts get taken industry-wide — we treat it as mandatory, not optional.

Why Choose Us

The Aqua Guard Water Damage Standard

Licensed & Insured

Insurance and licensing aren't just paperwork here — they're what let us stand behind the work if something doesn't go as planned.

Fast Local Dispatch

Local staging means shorter drive times, which matters most in the first hour after a water loss.

Upfront Flat-Rate Pricing

You get a written estimate before work begins, not a surprise invoice after the drying equipment is already running.

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

★★★★★

"I called in a panic at 11pm and someone actually picked up. The tech here in Memphis had air movers set up before midnight and explained exactly what they were doing and why."

James R., Memphis
★★★★★

"They caught mold starting behind our drywall before it spread and contained it properly instead of just painting over the problem like a previous contractor did."

Denise M., Memphis
★★★★★

"Professional from the first phone call to the final walkthrough. They re-tested moisture levels before closing the job instead of just eyeballing it."

Marcus T., Memphis
★★★★★

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

Priya S., Memphis
★★★★★

"The thermal imaging inspection found damage behind a cabinet we never would have thought to check, which probably saved us from a much bigger mold problem down the road."

Carlos V., Memphis
★★★★★

"Our commercial unit flooded overnight and they had industrial equipment running before our staff arrived for the morning shift."

Angela F., Memphis
★★★★★

"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., Memphis
★★★★★

"Storm runoff got into our crawl space and the smell alone told us something was wrong. The crew found the vapor barrier had failed and fixed the actual cause, not just the symptom."

Wendy K., Memphis
FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast can a Structural Drying technician arrive in Memphis, TN?
Our Memphis 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?
Clean water (Category 1) comes from a sanitary source like a supply line; gray water (Category 2) carries some contamination, such as from a washing machine or dishwasher discharge.
Do you move or store damaged belongings during the drying process?
We separate and stage contents away from the wet zone during extraction and drying, then help coordinate cleaning for anything that can be salvaged.
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?
We follow IICRC standards, classifying water as Category 1 (clean), Category 2 (gray), or Category 3 (black/sewage) before choosing extraction and PPE protocols.
How long does structural drying typically take?
Drying time depends on the materials affected and how long they were wet, but we track it with daily moisture logs instead of estimating blindly.
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?
Mold prevention is built into our drying protocol, not sold as an add-on, since materials wet more than two days are at real risk.
Do you offer service outside normal business hours?
Yes, emergencies are handled around the clock — the same crew structure that answers at 2pm answers at 2am.
What should I do while waiting for the crew to arrive?
Turn off the water supply if you can locate it safely, and stay out of rooms with standing water near electrical outlets or panels.
Do you handle commercial properties?
Commercial water damage gets the same extraction and drying protocol as residential work, scaled up with larger equipment as needed.
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.
