When a pipe bursts or a storm backs up your drain lines, waiting on hold is the last thing you can afford. Our Gretna-based crews carry moisture meters and truck-mount extraction equipment on every rig so the drying process starts the moment we knock on your door.

Aqua Guard Water Damage built its Gretna 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 Gretna 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.
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.
A persistent musty smell in a basement or bathroom usually means microbial growth has already started somewhere you can't see, often inside wall cavities or under flooring. Air fresheners will mask it temporarily but won't touch the actual source.
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.
A running-water sound when every fixture in the house is off is a strong sign of a hidden leak feeding your rising bill.
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.
Mold that returns after cleaning with bleach is a sign the underlying moisture source was never addressed, since surface cleaning does nothing for saturated material behind the wall.
Our Burst Pipe Cleanup 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.
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.
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.
The same team that documented the damage and dried the structure hands off directly to reconstruction, which keeps the whole timeline shorter and the paperwork simpler.
Specialized cleaning techniques can often save upholstery, electronics, and documents that look like a total loss at first glance, which keeps out-of-pocket replacement costs down.
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.
Technicians arrive with moisture meters and thermal cameras to map exactly how far the water has traveled, including inside walls and under flooring where you can't see it.
Standing water comes out first with truck-mount equipment, then air movers and dehumidifiers go to work based on the psychrometric numbers we recorded.
Final verification is where a lot of shortcuts get taken industry-wide — we treat it as mandatory, not optional.
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.
You get a written estimate before work begins, not a surprise invoice after the drying equipment is already running.
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.
We'd rather run drying equipment an extra day at our own cost than close out a job with a moisture reading we're not confident in.
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.
Call +1-844-234-5373Whether your address falls in 70056 70053 70054 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 Gretna routes extend out to the surrounding suburbs so outlying addresses aren't treated as an afterthought.
"A pipe burst behind our water heater and the crew here in Gretna 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., Gretna"What impressed me most was the daily moisture log — I could actually see the numbers improving instead of just being told to trust the process."
Denise M., Gretna"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., Gretna"The reconstruction crew matched our original flooring almost perfectly after the water damage repair — you'd never know there was a leak."
Priya S., Gretna"We had a slow leak we didn't notice for weeks and the crew found moisture in places we never would have checked using thermal imaging."
Carlos V., Gretna"Our commercial unit flooded overnight and they had industrial equipment running before our staff arrived for the morning shift."
Angela F., Gretna"The tech explained exactly which boards needed to come out and which ones tested dry enough to keep, so we didn't pay to replace more than necessary."
Tyrone B., Gretna"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."
