Who We Are

The Team Behind the Truck

Ask a Porter homeowner who's dealt with a burst pipe at 3am and, if they called us, they'll tell you the same thing: someone answered, and someone showed up. That's the whole model.

Local pricing means local pricing — our Porter estimates reflect actual regional labor and material costs, not a national average that leaves you either overpaying or underinsured.

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.

Worth a Second Look

Signs Your Property Needs Structural Drying

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

Flooring that shifts slightly when you walk on it, even subtly, is worth a moisture reading before it gets worse.

A Water Bill That Jumped for No Reason

The sound of running water when every fixture in the house is off is one of the more reliable early warnings of a hidden leak.

Paint or Wallpaper Lifting Away From the Wall

Wallpaper that suddenly lifts at the seams after holding fine for years often signals a change in the humidity or moisture level inside that wall cavity.

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.

If more than one of these sounds familiar, it's worth a professional moisture check sooner rather than later.

Core Services

Everything a Structural Drying Job Needs, Under One Roof

We don't split Structural Drying into separate vendors for extraction, drying, and repair — one crew stays accountable for the whole job, from the first wet-vac pass to the final coat of paint.

Every service below gets the same documentation standard, whether it's a single wet closet or a full commercial loss.

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

Daily drying logs track humidity and surface moisture at every checkpoint, giving you documented proof of progress instead of a verbal 'it's getting there.'

Category 3 & Sewage Cleanup

Our sewage cleanup protocol follows IICRC S500 guidelines start to finish, including isolation of the affected zone and disposal documentation.

Mold Prevention Built Into the Drying Plan

Antimicrobial treatment on studs, subfloor, and other porous surfaces happens during the drying phase, especially anywhere that stayed wet more than 48 hours.

Reconstruction Under the Same Contract

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.

Content Pack-Out & Cleaning

We inventory and relocate contents that need to leave the affected area, then coordinate their return once the space is verified dry.

How It Works

Our Structural Drying Response, Step by Step

This is the same sequence every job follows, whether it's a single flooded room or a full commercial loss.

Dispatch Picks Up

A live dispatcher, not a voicemail tree, takes your call and asks a few quick questions about the source and severity so the crew rolls out prepared.

Technician Maps the Damage

Photo and moisture documentation happens before any equipment gets touched, which protects your insurance claim later.

Extraction, Then Drying

Standing water comes out first with commercial extraction equipment, then air movers and dehumidifiers go to work based on the readings just taken.

Verified Dry, Then Repaired

Moisture readings confirm the structure meets a safe drying standard before we hand over documentation and move into reconstruction.

Why Choose Us

The Aqua Guard Water Damage Standard

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.

Licensed & Insured

We'll show you the credentials before we show you the invoice, if that's what puts you at ease.

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

If a drying target isn't hit on schedule, equipment stays on-site at no extra charge until the readings confirm it's dry.

The Aqua Guard Water Damage Promise

Every job closes with documented moisture verification, because a promise without data behind it isn't much of a promise.

The standard doesn't change based on job size — a single bathroom flood gets the same sign-off criteria as a full commercial loss.

Renee A., Porter
★★★★★

Owen D., Porter
★★★★★

"They didn't cut corners on the sanitization step even though it clearly slowed them down — with two kids in the house, that mattered to us."

Fatima J., Porter
★★★★★

"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., Porter
★★★★★

"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., Porter
★★★★★

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

Nathaniel W., Porter
★★★★★

"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., Porter
★★★★★

"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., Porter
★★★★★

"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."

★★★★★

FAQ

Questions We Hear Most Often

How fast can a Structural Drying technician arrive in Porter, IN?▼
Average arrival time in Porter runs well under 60 minutes for active emergencies, traffic and call volume permitting.
Do you provide upfront pricing?▼
We quote upfront based on the assessment, and that number is what you pay regardless of how long drying takes.
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?▼
We provide the documentation adjusters expect and are glad to communicate with your insurance company on your behalf.
How is contaminated water classified?▼
We follow IICRC standards: Category 1 is clean, Category 2 is gray water with some contamination, and Category 3 is black or sewage water requiring full protocols.
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?▼
Turn off the water supply if you can safely reach it, and avoid rooms with standing water near electrical panels or outlets.
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?▼
A small leak left alone is exactly how hidden mold problems start, so it's worth a moisture check even if the visible damage looks minor.
What information should I have ready when I call?▼
It helps to know roughly where the water's coming from and whether it looks clean or contaminated, though we'll walk you through it if you're not sure.
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.
