Johnston sits on a mix of older plumbing and newer builds, and our crew has pulled water out of both, which is why the truck that shows up already has the right extraction head for your situation.

Written estimate, no hidden line items
IICRC-certified technicians on every truck
We run our Johnston operation on IICRC-certified technicians and commercial-grade equipment, not a subcontractor list we pull from when the phone rings.
Local pricing means local pricing — our Johnston estimates reflect actual regional labor and material costs, not a national average that leaves you either overpaying or underinsured.
Homeowners dealing with a flood are stressed enough without technical jargon, so we train our crews to explain the process in plain terms from the first phone call.
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.
A ring that reappears within weeks of a fresh coat of paint means the moisture source is still active, and it's usually a plumbing line, not a roof issue, especially near bathrooms.
A smell that gets stronger after rain is a strong hint that groundwater or a foundation crack is letting moisture in during wet weather.
Flooring that shifts slightly when you walk on it, even subtly, is worth a moisture reading before it gets worse.
A sudden increase in usage with no change in household habits is often the earliest sign of a slab leak, well before any visible water shows up.
Bubbling near a window frame frequently traces back to a failed seal letting water in gradually.
Dark spotting around grout lines or window frames is frequently the first visible sign of a developing moisture problem.
Catching two or more of these signs at once usually means it's past time for a proper inspection.
Treating Structural Drying as a single continuous job, rather than a series of handoffs, is what keeps timelines shorter and documentation consistent.
The equipment on our trucks scales up or down to the job, but the process — assess, extract, dry, verify, repair — doesn't change.
Moisture meters classify the water as Category 1, 2, or 3 on arrival, which determines whether it's a straightforward extraction or a full contamination protocol.
Air movers and dehumidifiers get placed according to psychrometric readings taken at assessment, not a default layout used on every job regardless of conditions.
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.
Antimicrobial treatment on studs, subfloor, and other porous surfaces happens during the drying phase, especially anywhere that stayed wet more than 48 hours.
One contract from extraction through reconstruction means you're not managing two separate companies and two separate invoices.
Specialized content cleaning often saves items that looked like a total loss at first glance, which keeps replacement costs off your claim.
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.
Photo and moisture documentation happens before any equipment gets touched, which protects your insurance claim later.
Equipment placement follows the specific psychrometric numbers from assessment, not a generic pattern used on every job.
Final verification is where corners often get cut industry-wide; we treat it as mandatory.
We built the checklist below around the actual complaints people have about restoration companies in general, then made sure Aqua Guard Water Damage doesn't repeat them.
We'll show you the credentials before we show you the invoice, if that's what puts you at ease.
Regionally staged trucks mean a crew often arrives before a national chain's call center finishes the intake questionnaire.
The number we quote is the number you pay, regardless of how long the drying cycle runs.
A guarantee only counts if it's backed by a second moisture reading, not just good intentions.
If our readings don't hit a safe drying standard on schedule, equipment stays running at our cost until they do — that's the bar we hold ourselves to.
The standard doesn't change based on job size — a single bathroom flood gets the same sign-off criteria as a full commercial loss.

"Our water heater gave out overnight and by the time I found the pool of water it had already crept under the cabinets. The crew here in Johnston had it extracted and drying equipment running before I finished my coffee."
Renee A., Johnston"The daily moisture log gave me something concrete to look at instead of just being told to trust the process."
Owen D., Johnston"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., Johnston"Every cost question got a straight answer, even the awkward ones, which is more than I can say for the last two contractors I dealt with."
Lucas P., Johnston"The thermal scan caught damage behind a cabinet that could have turned into a much bigger mold problem if it went unnoticed."
Grace T., Johnston"They sectioned off the wet area instead of shutting down the whole office during drying, which kept us operating almost normally."
Nathaniel W., Johnston"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., Johnston"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., Johnston"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., Johnston"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., Johnston
