A flooded basement doesn't wait for business hours, and neither do we. Aqua Guard Water Damage keeps trucks staged around Somerville so a licensed technician can be pulling standing water within the hour, not scheduling you for next Tuesday.

Aqua Guard Water Damage has spent years pulling water out of Somerville basements, crawl spaces, and commercial units, and that hands-on history shows in how fast our crews assess a loss. We know which Somerville 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 Somerville 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.
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.
If opening windows and running a fan doesn't clear the smell within a day, the moisture source is still active and needs professional extraction, not just ventilation. A smell that returns after cleaning is a strong sign the moisture is still present.
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.
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.
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.
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.
We treat Water Removal 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
We re-test every affected area before calling a job complete, then coordinate repairs so you're not left with an open punch list.
Insurance and licensing aren't just paperwork here — they're what let us stand behind the work if something doesn't go as planned.
Local staging means shorter drive times, which matters most in the first hour after a water loss.
Flat-rate pricing means the number we quote is the number you pay, regardless of how long the drying cycle takes.
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.
Call +1-844-578-1604Whether your address falls in 77879 or one of the neighboring zip codes we cover, the same crew and the same response standard applies.
Coverage isn't limited to the city center — our Somerville routes extend out to the surrounding suburbs so outlying addresses aren't treated as an afterthought.
"The team here in Somerville 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., Somerville"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., Somerville"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., Somerville"The reconstruction crew matched our original flooring almost perfectly after the water damage repair — you'd never know there was a leak."
Priya S., Somerville"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., Somerville"They minimized business disruption by sectioning off the wet area instead of shutting down the whole space during drying."
Angela F., Somerville"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., Somerville"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., Somerville
