Who We Are

Licensed, Local, and Ready 24/7

Our Dunlap 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 Dunlap 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 Emergency Water Damage 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

Comprehensive Emergency Water Damage You Can Count On

Our Emergency Water Damage 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

Our crews arrive with truck-mount extraction units capable of pulling thousands of gallons per hour, using moisture meters to classify the water as Category 1, 2, or 3 before drying even starts.

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

Our sewage cleanup protocol follows IICRC S500 contamination standards, isolating the affected area, removing unsalvageable materials, and disinfecting every surface that had contact with blackwater.

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

We inventory and pack out contents that need to leave the affected area during drying, then coordinate their return once the space is verified dry and repairs are complete.

Our Process

How Our Emergency Water Damage Response Works

Call Dispatch

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.

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

Standing water comes out first with truck-mount equipment, then air movers and dehumidifiers go to work based on the psychrometric numbers we recorded.

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

Why Property Owners Choose Aqua Guard Water Damage

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

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.

Our Promise: Dry, Documented, Done Right

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.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast can a Emergency Water Damage technician arrive in Dunlap, TN?
Average arrival time in Dunlap is well under 60 minutes for active emergencies, though exact timing depends on traffic and current call volume.
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?
Yes, we can relocate salvageable contents out of the affected area so drying equipment has clear access and your belongings aren't sitting in a wet environment.
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?
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?
Our emergency line covers extraction, drying, contaminated water cleanup, and the reconstruction that follows, all coordinated by one crew.
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?
Most residential drying cycles run three to five days, verified with daily moisture readings rather than a fixed calendar guess.
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?
Yes, antimicrobial treatment is applied to affected porous materials as part of the standard drying process, especially after 48 hours of exposure.
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.
