Who We Are

A Local Crew, Not a Call Center

We run our Unicoi operation on IICRC-certified technicians and commercial-grade equipment, not a subcontractor list we pull from when the phone rings.

Our Unicoi dispatch desk is staffed around the clock by people, not an automated queue, which matters most at exactly the hour you're calling.

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.

Worth a Second Look

Signs Your Property Needs Emergency Water Damage

Not every water problem announces itself with a flooded floor. Most start quietly, and catching one of these signs early is usually the difference between a same-day fix and a much bigger repair.

A Ceiling Stain That Keeps Coming Back

Repainting over a recurring ceiling stain treats the symptom, not the leak still feeding it from above or behind the surface. The stain returning is the actual diagnosis.

A Basement That Smells Different Than It Used To

If a dehumidifier and open windows don't clear the smell within a day or two, there's an active moisture source that ventilation alone won't solve.

Flooring That Feels Different Underfoot

Hardwood cupping at the edges, laminate lifting at the seams, or carpet that stays spongy days after you last noticed water — all three point to moisture sitting against the subfloor.

A Water Bill That Jumped for No Reason

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.

Paint or Wallpaper Lifting Away From the Wall

Bubbling near a window frame frequently traces back to a failed seal letting water in gradually.

Any Visible Mold, Even a Small Patch

A small patch of mold in a corner or along a baseboard means conditions behind that surface have supported growth for a while — the source needs to be found, not just wiped away.

Catching two or more of these signs at once usually means it's past time for a proper inspection.

Core Services

One Crew, Every Stage of Emergency Water Damage

Treating Emergency Water Damage 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.

Emergency Extraction, First Hour Priority

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.

Structural Drying, Tracked With Real Numbers

We don't call a structure dry based on a visual check — the moisture meter has the final say before equipment comes down.

Category 3 & Sewage Cleanup

Blackwater intrusions call for full PPE, controlled removal of porous materials that can't be sanitized, and hospital-grade disinfection before any reconstruction starts.

Mold Prevention Built Into the Drying Plan

We treat the 48-hour mold window as a deadline for our own drying timeline, not a talking point.

Reconstruction Under the Same Contract

One contract from extraction through reconstruction means you're not managing two separate companies and two separate invoices.

Content Pack-Out & Cleaning

Specialized content cleaning often saves items that looked like a total loss at first glance, which keeps replacement costs off your claim.

How It Works

Our Emergency Water Damage Response, Step by Step

Four steps, no guesswork — here's exactly what happens between your call and a verified-dry structure.

Dispatch Picks Up

Dispatch gathers just enough detail to load the right equipment before the truck leaves the lot.

Technician Maps the Damage

Skipping or rushing this step is how hidden moisture pockets turn into a mold problem months down the line.

Extraction, Then Drying

Equipment placement follows the specific psychrometric numbers from assessment, not a generic pattern used on every job.

Verified Dry, Then Repaired

Every affected area gets re-tested before we call the job complete — no shortcuts on the sign-off.

Why Choose Us

The Aqua Guard Water Damage Standard

None of these four things matter in isolation — it's the combination of licensing, speed, honest pricing, and a real guarantee that actually changes the outcome of a water emergency.

Licensed & Insured

Every technician carries IICRC certification, and every crew works fully insured — documentation available whenever you want it.

Fast Local Dispatch

Regionally staged trucks mean a crew often arrives before a national chain's call center finishes the intake questionnaire.

Upfront Flat-Rate Pricing

We'd rather have the pricing conversation upfront than after the job's already underway.

Backed by a Real Guarantee

Every job closes with a documented re-inspection, not a handshake and an invoice.

The Aqua Guard Water Damage Promise

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.

Technicians aren't rewarded for closing jobs quickly, which keeps the incentive pointed at actually finishing the drying right.

What Customers Tell Us Afterward

★★★★★

"What stood out was how calm the technician stayed while explaining a genuinely stressful situation — that mattered more than I expected."

Renee A., Unicoi
★★★★★

"They found mold starting behind our baseboards before it spread and handled containment properly instead of painting over it like a previous company tried."

Owen D., Unicoi
★★★★★

"Professional from the first call to the final walkthrough, and they re-tested moisture before closing the job instead of eyeballing it."

Fatima J., Unicoi
★★★★★

"Fast response and clear pricing, and they handled the back-and-forth with my insurance adjuster directly, which saved me a genuinely stressful week."

Lucas P., Unicoi
★★★★★

"We had a slow leak for weeks without noticing, and thermal imaging found moisture in a spot we never would have checked ourselves."

Grace T., Unicoi
★★★★★

"Working a commercial job around our business hours could have been a scheduling nightmare, but they made it simple."

Nathaniel W., Unicoi
★★★★★

"The technician explained exactly which boards needed to go and which tested dry enough to keep, so we didn't overpay for the repair."

Bianca H., Unicoi
★★★★★

"Storm runoff got into our crawl space and the smell alone told us something was wrong. They found a failed vapor barrier and fixed the actual cause during the same visit."

Derek S., Unicoi
★★★★★

"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., Unicoi
★★★★★

"Being out of town when it happened was stressful enough — having a crew that could work directly with our property manager made it manageable."

FAQ

Questions We Hear Most Often

How fast can a Emergency Water Damage technician arrive in Unicoi, TN?▼
Crews staged inside Unicoi typically reach an active water loss in under an hour, since trucks aren't dispatched from a distant office.
Do you provide upfront pricing?▼
Yes — every job starts with a written flat-rate estimate before any equipment turns on, so there's no surprise line item later.
What emergency services do you offer?▼
One call gets you extraction, drying, contaminated water cleanup, and the reconstruction that follows, coordinated by one crew.
Do you work with insurance companies directly?▼
Yes, we document every job with photos and moisture logs formatted for insurance claims and can speak with your adjuster directly.
How is contaminated water classified?▼
Water gets classified on arrival using IICRC S500 guidelines, which determines whether standard extraction or full contamination handling applies.
How long does drying usually take?▼
Timing depends on the materials affected and how long they stayed wet, tracked daily with moisture logs instead of an estimate.
Will drywall or flooring need to come out?▼
Only where materials can't be safely dried and sanitized — the goal is saving as much of the original structure as possible.
Can you help prevent mold after a leak?▼
Mold prevention is built into our drying protocol, not sold separately, since anything wet more than two days carries real risk.
Are you available outside normal business hours?▼
Emergencies are handled around the clock — the same crew structure answering at 2pm answers at 2am.
What should I do while waiting for the crew?▼
If it's safe, shut off the water source, move valuables to a dry area, and stay clear of outlets near standing water until we arrive.
Do you handle commercial properties?▼
Commercial losses get the same extraction and drying protocol as residential work, just with larger equipment as needed.
Is it worth calling about a small leak?▼
What looks minor on the surface can mean saturated material behind a wall that only a moisture meter will actually catch.
What information should I have ready when I call?▼
A rough location and timeline speed up dispatch, but don't wait to call just to gather details — we can get that on the way.
Do you guarantee your drying results?▼
Yes — if moisture readings don't hit a safe standard on schedule, we keep equipment running at no extra charge until they do, verified with a second reading before we close the job.
Can I stay in my home during the drying process?▼
In most cases yes, especially if the affected area can be isolated from the rest of the living space, though we'll walk you through any air quality considerations specific to your situation.
