There's a specific kind of dread that comes with standing water spreading across a Hollins living room floor. We're built to shorten that window between the panic and the fix.

We run our Hollins operation on IICRC-certified technicians and commercial-grade equipment, not a subcontractor list we pull from when the phone rings.
Every Hollins truck carries moisture meters, thermal cameras, and both standard and low-grain-refrigerant dehumidifiers, because a one-size drying setup doesn't work for every kind of Hollins home.
Ongoing training matters more to us than a certificate on the wall — drying standards and equipment change, and our crews train against the current standard, not the one from five years ago.
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.
Fresh paint over an old stain can hide the problem visually for a month or two, right up until the drywall paper backing gives out.
A musty note that wasn't there a season ago usually means microbial growth has started somewhere behind a wall or under flooring, well before you can see anything.
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.
Catching a hidden leak through the water bill is far cheaper than waiting for it to surface as a flooded room.
Bubbling near a window frame frequently traces back to a failed seal letting water in gradually.
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.
If more than one of these sounds familiar, it's worth a professional moisture check sooner rather than later.
Bouncing between an extraction company, a drying company, and a repair contractor is how small jobs turn into weeks-long headaches — we keep all three under one roof on purpose.
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.
Our sewage cleanup protocol follows IICRC S500 guidelines start to finish, including isolation of the affected zone and disposal documentation.
If mold has already started, containment with negative air pressure goes up before any demolition begins, so spores don't travel to unaffected rooms.
Once moisture readings confirm the structure is dry, the same team that documented and dried the loss hands off directly into drywall, insulation, and flooring repair.
Furniture, electronics, and documents get assessed on-site, with salvageable items cleaned and stored while the space dries.
Four steps, no guesswork — here's exactly what happens between your call and a verified-dry structure.
Real person, real questions, fast routing — the goal is getting a truck moving within minutes of hanging up.
Moisture meters and thermal cameras trace exactly how far water has traveled, including inside walls and under flooring where it's invisible to the eye.
Standing water comes out first with commercial extraction equipment, then air movers and dehumidifiers go to work based on the readings just taken.
Moisture readings confirm the structure meets a safe drying standard before we hand over documentation and move into reconstruction.
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.
Licensing and insurance aren't paperwork we keep in a drawer; they're what let us stand behind the work if something doesn't go as planned.
Regionally staged trucks mean a crew often arrives before a national chain's call center finishes the intake questionnaire.
We'd rather have the pricing conversation upfront than after the job's already underway.
Every job closes with a documented re-inspection, not a handshake and an invoice.
We'd rather run a dehumidifier an extra day on our dime than sign off on a reading we're not confident in.
The standard doesn't change based on job size — a single bathroom flood gets the same sign-off criteria as a full commercial loss.
Call +1-844-578-1604Our Hollins service radius covers 35082, with trucks positioned to reach any address quickly, not just the neighborhoods closest to a single office.
Coverage extends past the city core into the surrounding Hollins suburbs, so an outlying address isn't treated as a second-tier call.
"I've dealt with contractors before who talk a big game and disappear. The crew here in Hollins actually showed up on time and stayed in touch through the whole drying process."
Renee A., Hollins"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., Hollins"Professional from the first call to the final walkthrough, and they re-tested moisture before closing the job instead of eyeballing it."
Fatima J., Hollins"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., Hollins"Getting a daily drying log meant we always knew where the job stood instead of a vague verbal update."
Grace T., Hollins"They sectioned off the wet area instead of shutting down the whole office during drying, which kept us operating almost normally."
Nathaniel W., Hollins"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., Hollins"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., Hollins"Our upstairs bathroom leaked into the kitchen ceiling below and the crew traced it back to a failed wax ring on the toilet, not just patched the visible ceiling stain."
Melissa C., Hollins"A dishwasher supply line failed while we were on vacation and came home to a soaked kitchen floor. They handled the extraction, drying, and coordination with our property manager without us having to fly back early."
Victor N., Hollins
