Who We Are

Licensed, Local, and Ready 24/7

Our Horace technicians hold IICRC water restoration certifications and carry that training into every job, from a Category 1 clean-water leak to a Category 3 sewage backup. We're not a call center routing you to a random subcontractor; we're the crew that shows up.

Every technician on our Horace 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.

Beyond the technical certifications, our crews are trained to communicate clearly under pressure, because a homeowner dealing with a flooded home deserves plain answers, not jargon.

Problem Awareness

Signs You Need Structural Drying Right Now

Water Stains or Discoloration

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.

Musty Odor That Won't Air Out

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.

Warped or Buckling Flooring

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.

Rising Water Bill With No Clear Cause

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.

Peeling Paint or Bubbling Wallpaper

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.

Visible Mold Growth

Dark spotting in grout lines or around window frames is often the first visible sign of a moisture problem that's been developing for weeks.

Our Core Services

Full-Service Structural Drying, Start to Finish

Our Structural Drying 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.

Emergency Water Extraction

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.

Structural Drying & Dehumidification

Drying logs track humidity, surface moisture, and airflow at every checkpoint, so you get documented proof the structure is dry before we close out the job — useful for your insurance claim too.

Sewage & Contaminated Water Cleanup

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.

Mold Prevention & Remediation

Because mold can establish in as little as 48 hours, our drying timeline is built around beating that window rather than treating mold prevention as an afterthought.

Reconstruction & Repairs

Once the structure tests dry, our reconstruction team handles drywall, insulation, flooring, and trim so you're not managing a second contractor after the restoration crew leaves.

Content Cleaning & Pack-Out

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.

Our Process

How Our Structural Drying Response Works

Call Dispatch

A real person answers, gathers the details of your water loss, and routes the closest available crew immediately.

Rapid On-Site Assessment

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.

Extraction & Drying

Extraction and drying run as one continuous process rather than two separate visits, which keeps the timeline tighter.

Verification & Repairs

We re-test every affected area before calling a job complete, then coordinate repairs so you're not left with an open punch list.

Why Choose Us

The Aqua Guard Water Damage Standard

Every technician carries IICRC certification and our crews are fully insured for your protection on every job.

Fast Local Dispatch

Upfront Flat-Rate Pricing

Flat-rate pricing means the number we quote is the number you pay, regardless of how long the drying cycle takes.

Satisfaction Guarantee

We stand behind every job with a documented re-inspection before we consider the work complete.

The Aqua Guard Water Damage Guarantee

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.

Customer Reviews

What Our Customers Say

★★★★★

James R., Horace
★★★★★

"They caught mold starting behind our drywall before it spread and contained it properly instead of just painting over the problem like a previous contractor did."

Denise M., Horace
★★★★★

"Professional from the first phone call to the final walkthrough. They re-tested moisture levels before closing the job instead of just eyeballing it."

Marcus T., Horace
★★★★★

"The reconstruction crew matched our original flooring almost perfectly after the water damage repair — you'd never know there was a leak."

Priya S., Horace
★★★★★

"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., Horace
★★★★★

"Our commercial unit flooded overnight and they had industrial equipment running before our staff arrived for the morning shift."

Angela F., Horace
★★★★★

"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., Horace
★★★★★

"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."

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast can a Structural Drying technician arrive in Horace, ND?
Average arrival time in Horace is well under 60 minutes for active emergencies, though exact timing depends on traffic and current call volume.
What's the difference between clean water and gray water damage?
Clean water (Category 1) comes from a sanitary source like a supply line; gray water (Category 2) carries some contamination, such as from a washing machine or dishwasher discharge.
Do you move or store damaged belongings during the drying process?
We separate and stage contents away from the wet zone during extraction and drying, then help coordinate cleaning for anything that can be salvaged.
What information should I have ready when I call?
It helps to know roughly where the water is coming from, how long it's been an issue, and whether the water looks clean or contaminated, though we can walk you through it if you're not sure.
Do you provide upfront pricing?
We quote upfront based on the assessment, and that quoted number is what you pay regardless of how long drying takes.
What emergency services are available?
Our emergency line covers extraction, drying, contaminated water cleanup, and the reconstruction that follows, all coordinated by one crew.
Do you work directly with insurance companies?
We provide the documentation adjusters expect, including moisture readings and photo evidence, and we're happy to speak with your insurance company directly.
How do you classify contaminated water?
We follow IICRC standards, classifying water as Category 1 (clean), Category 2 (gray), or Category 3 (black/sewage) before choosing extraction and PPE protocols.
How long does structural drying typically take?
Most residential drying cycles run three to five days, verified with daily moisture readings rather than a fixed calendar guess.
Will you need to remove drywall or flooring?
Only where materials can't be safely dried and sanitized — our goal is to save as much of the original structure as possible.
Can you help prevent mold after a leak?
Yes, antimicrobial treatment is applied to affected porous materials as part of the standard drying process, especially after 48 hours of exposure.
Do you offer service outside normal business hours?
Our dispatch line runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays, because water damage doesn't wait for business hours.
What should I do while waiting for the crew to arrive?
Turn off the water supply if you can locate it safely, and stay out of rooms with standing water near electrical outlets or panels.
Do you handle commercial properties?
Commercial water damage gets the same extraction and drying protocol as residential work, scaled up with larger equipment as needed.
Is a small leak worth calling about?
Yes — what looks minor on the surface can mean saturated material behind a wall that only a moisture meter will catch.
