When a pipe bursts or a storm backs up your drain lines, waiting on hold is the last thing you can afford. Our Loretto-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 built its Loretto operation around one standard: arrive fast, document everything with moisture readings and thermal imaging, and communicate the drying plan in plain language before we touch a single wall.
We answer our own phones around the clock in Loretto, 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.
We invest in ongoing training as drying standards and equipment evolve, rather than treating a technician's initial certification as the finish line.
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.
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.
Paint that bubbles or peels away from a wall, especially near baseboards, usually means moisture is pushing through from behind rather than a simple application problem.
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.
We treat Flood Damage Repair 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.
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.
Equipment placement isn't guesswork; it's calculated from psychrometric readings taken at the start of the job and adjusted daily as conditions change.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The assessment sets the entire plan — skipping it or rushing it is how jobs end up with hidden moisture pockets months later.
Extraction and drying run as one continuous process rather than two separate visits, which keeps the timeline tighter.
Final verification is where a lot of shortcuts get taken industry-wide — we treat it as mandatory, not optional.
We operate under proper licensing and insurance in every market we serve, with documentation available on request.
Local staging means shorter drive times, which matters most in the first hour after a water loss.
You get a written estimate before work begins, not a surprise invoice after the drying equipment is already running.
If a drying target isn't met on the first pass, we extend equipment placement at no extra charge until moisture readings confirm the structure is dry.
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.
That same standard applies whether it's a single flooded bathroom or a full commercial loss — the sign-off criteria don't change based on job size.
Call +1-844-234-5373Aqua Guard Water Damage dispatches crews throughout Loretto and the surrounding zip codes, including 55357, so response times stay fast no matter which side of town the call comes from.
Coverage isn't limited to the city center — our Loretto routes extend out to the surrounding suburbs so outlying addresses aren't treated as an afterthought.
"I called in a panic at 11pm and someone actually picked up. The tech here in Loretto had air movers set up before midnight and explained exactly what they were doing and why."
James R., Loretto"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., Loretto"The sewage backup in our laundry room was handled with full PPE and proper disposal of the ruined flooring. I appreciated that they explained the Category 3 contamination process before starting."
Marcus T., Loretto"The reconstruction crew matched our original flooring almost perfectly after the water damage repair — you'd never know there was a leak."
Priya S., Loretto"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., Loretto"Our commercial unit flooded overnight and they had industrial equipment running before our staff arrived for the morning shift."
Angela F., Loretto"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., Loretto"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., Loretto
