When a pipe bursts or a storm backs up your drain lines, waiting on hold is the last thing you can afford. Our Sterling Heights-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 has spent years pulling water out of Sterling Heights basements, crawl spaces, and commercial units, and that hands-on history shows in how fast our crews assess a loss. We know which Sterling Heights neighborhoods sit on older clay pipe, which developments have a history of sump failures, and which zip codes flood first when storm drains back up.
We answer our own phones around the clock in Sterling Heights, which means the person who books your appointment already knows our schedule, our crew availability, and how fast we can realistically get a truck to your address.
We invest in ongoing training as drying standards and equipment evolve, rather than treating a technician's initial certification as the finish line.

A stain that keeps reappearing after you paint over it is a signal, not a coincidence — the moisture source behind the wall hasn't been addressed and needs a moisture meter reading, not a fresh coat of paint. Repainting without finding the source just hides the problem for a few more weeks.
Musty odors that seem to follow you from room to room often mean the HVAC system is circulating spores from a hidden wet area, which spreads the problem rather than solving it.
Hardwood that's cupping at the edges or laminate that's separating at the seams is a classic sign of moisture intrusion from below, whether that's a slab leak or groundwater seepage. The longer it sits, the harder the flooring is to salvage.
An unexplained jump in your water bill is frequently the first sign of a slab leak or a failing supply line long before any visible water appears. Catching it at this stage is far cheaper than waiting for a visible flood.
Bubbling near a window or exterior wall frequently points to a flashing or seal failure letting water into the wall cavity a little at a time.
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 Water Damage Repair 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.
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.
Equipment placement isn't guesswork; it's calculated from psychrometric readings taken at the start of the job and adjusted daily as conditions change.
Blackwater jobs get treated with extra caution, since porous materials that touched contaminated water almost always need to be removed rather than dried in place.
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.
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.



A real person answers, gathers the details of your water loss, and routes the closest available crew immediately.
The assessment sets the entire plan — skipping it or rushing it is how jobs end up with hidden moisture pockets months later.
Standing water comes out first with truck-mount equipment, then air movers and dehumidifiers go to work based on the psychrometric numbers we recorded.
Once moisture readings confirm the structure is dry, we hand you documentation and move into any needed reconstruction.
Insurance and licensing aren't just paperwork here — they're what let us stand behind the work if something doesn't go as planned.
Trucks are staged regionally so a crew can typically reach you well before a national chain's call center even finishes your intake form.
Flat-rate pricing means the number we quote is the number you pay, regardless of how long the drying cycle takes.
We stand behind every job with a documented re-inspection before we consider the work complete.
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.
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 48310 48313 48312 48314 48311 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 Sterling Heights routes extend out to the surrounding suburbs so outlying addresses aren't treated as an afterthought.

"I called in a panic at 11pm and someone actually picked up. The tech here in Sterling Heights had air movers set up before midnight and explained exactly what they were doing and why."
James R., Sterling Heights"Our basement took on water during a storm and the crew classified it, extracted it, and had dehumidifiers running the same afternoon. The final invoice matched the upfront quote exactly."
Denise M., Sterling Heights"They didn't cut corners on the contaminated water cleanup even though it would have been faster to skip the sanitization step — that mattered to me given we have young kids in the house."
Marcus T., Sterling Heights"Every question I asked got a straight answer, even the ones about cost, which is rare after dealing with two other contractors who kept dodging the pricing conversation."
Priya S., Sterling Heights"Drying logs were shared with us daily so we always knew exactly where the job stood, not just a vague 'it's drying' update."
Carlos V., Sterling Heights"Coordinating a commercial job around our operating hours could have been a nightmare, but their crew worked around our schedule without us having to ask twice."
Angela F., Sterling Heights"A cracked supply line under the kitchen sink went unnoticed for days and by the time we called, the subfloor was saturated. The crew pulled the damaged material and had drying equipment running within the hour."
Tyrone B., Sterling Heights"Storm runoff got into our crawl space and the smell alone told us something was wrong. The crew found the vapor barrier had failed and fixed the actual cause, not just the symptom."
