Who We Are

Licensed, Local, and Ready 24/7

Aqua Guard Water Damage built its Niantic 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.

Every technician on our Niantic 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.

Problem Awareness

Signs You Need Structural Drying Right Now

Water Stains or Discoloration

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.

Musty Odor That Won't Air Out

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.

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

A running-water sound when every fixture in the house is off is a strong sign of a hidden leak feeding your rising bill.

Peeling Paint or Bubbling Wallpaper

Wallpaper that lifts at the seams after being fine for years is often a sign that humidity or a slow leak has changed the moisture level inside that wall.

Visible Mold Growth

Any visible mold, even a small patch in a corner or along a baseboard, means conditions behind that surface have supported growth for a while and the moisture source needs to be found, not just the mold wiped away.

Our Core Services

Full-Service Structural Drying, Start to Finish

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.

Emergency Water Extraction

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.

Structural Drying & Dehumidification

We place industrial air movers and low-grain-refrigerant dehumidifiers based on psychrometric readings, then log moisture levels daily until every affected material returns to a safe drying standard.

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

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.

Reconstruction & Repairs

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.

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

The assessment sets the entire plan — skipping it or rushing it is how jobs end up with hidden moisture pockets months later.

Extraction & Drying

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

Verification & Repairs

We re-test every affected area before calling a job complete, then coordinate repairs so you're not left with an open punch list.

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

Trucks are staged regionally so a crew can typically reach you well before a national chain's call center even finishes your intake form.

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

Every job closes with documented moisture verification, because a guarantee that isn't backed by data isn't much of a guarantee.

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.

Customer Reviews

What Our Customers Say

★★★★★

"A pipe burst behind our water heater and the crew here in Niantic had extraction units running within 40 minutes of my call. They walked me through the moisture readings every day until it was fully dry."

James R., Niantic
★★★★★

"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., Niantic
★★★★★

"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., Niantic
★★★★★

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

Priya S., Niantic
★★★★★

"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., Niantic
★★★★★

"They minimized business disruption by sectioning off the wet area instead of shutting down the whole space during drying."

Angela F., Niantic
★★★★★

"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., Niantic
★★★★★

"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."

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast can a Structural Drying technician arrive in Niantic, CT?
Our Niantic 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?
Having the general location of the water and a rough timeline ready speeds up dispatch, but don't delay calling just to gather details — we can get that information on the way.
Do you provide upfront pricing?
We quote upfront based on the assessment, and that quoted number is what you pay regardless of how long drying takes.
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?
We remove only what moisture readings and contamination levels require, not as a default step, to keep your repair costs down.
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?
Our dispatch line runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays, because water damage doesn't wait for business hours.
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?
Yes — what looks minor on the surface can mean saturated material behind a wall that only a moisture meter will catch.
