Why us
Why Gaston County homeowners choose us for water damage restoration
We arrive within 60 minutes
We are on the road as soon as you call, any hour of the day. Our three offices sit across the Charlotte metro, so we reach most homes in Gaston County fast. Water spreads by the minute. The sooner we start pulling it out, the less floor and drywall you lose.
Free estimates, no obligation
We come out and walk the property with you. We show you exactly what the water did and what it will cost to fix. The visit is free and you are under no obligation. Nothing starts until you tell us to go ahead.
IICRC certified, licensed in North Carolina
We are an IICRC certified firm, which is the industry standard for restoration work. The certification is held by the company and the number is public, so you can look it up rather than take our word for it. We are also licensed general contractors in North Carolina, so the same licenses cover the drying and the rebuild that comes after it.
We've been serving Gaston County since 2014
Autumn is hurricane season, and Helene reached this county on 27 September 2024. It brought a flash flood warning, took trees down onto houses in Gastonia and cut power to about a third of the county. The tree is the part people photograph. The leak starts later, with the next rain, through the opening it left.
We are a full service restoration company
We handle the water and the repairs. First we stop the leak, dry the building out and pull anything that cannot be saved. Then we put the rooms back together: drywall, flooring, paint and cabinets. We are licensed general contractors in both Carolinas, so one company does all of it and you only have one number to call.
Call any hour. The number reaches the people who do the work.

Restoration work is a stressful thing to hire for, so see what people say about how fast we answered, and how the job actually went.
Donald CrenshawCame in 30min for a freak accident with a water cooler. Explained everything and put my mind at ease. Very informative, 10/10.
Taylor MaxwellWhen we noticed a water stain on the ceiling, we called Dan and he was at our house within the hour. He made an assessment and had his team out same day. They were polite, professional, and efficient. Highly recommend!!
247 Aquadry recently helped with the water damage at my home in Pineville after a refrigerator leak caused damage to our floors and cabinets. They were responsive, professional, and quickly diagnosed and remediated the water damage with minimal impact to the surrounding areas.
What can I say about Dan and his team at 24/7 AquaDry other than they are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! From our very first call, as water was pouring between our first and second levels in our home, Dan and his team were responsive, compassionate, supportive, knowledgeable, and effective.
Dan and his team were responsive, timely, friendly, and resourceful. They arrived when they said they would, provided a bid when they said they would, and completed the job within their estimated timeframe. Their professionalism and care stand out. I felt well taken care of throughout the process. I highly recommend 24/7 AquaDry!
Ernesto RodriguezDan was extremely helpful throughout the whole process helping us with water damage concerns at our property in Matthews. He was very knowledgeable, easy to work with, and took the time to explain everything clearly instead of just trying to rush through the job. You can tell he genuinely cares about helping people and doing things the right way.
What happens when you call
Our water damage restoration process in Gaston County
Age is the thing that changes a job here. Five steps run in the same order on every call: the assessment, containment, extraction, drying, then the rebuild. Speed drives all of it, because material that dries within 24 to 48 hours will in most cases stay clear of mold. What the assessment turns up in Gaston is usually a crawl space that started as open piers and got closed in later. Older wall materials also hold water longer than modern board does.
Response

Assessment
What's wet, how far it traveled, what it will take.

FAQ
Gaston County water damage questions
Do you cover Gaston County?
We cover 2 Gaston County cities: Belmont and Gastonia. Those are the Gaston County places in our stated service area, worked out of offices in Waxhaw, Fort Mill, Charlotte. If your address is nearby but not on that list, call and we will tell you straight away whether we can get to you.
What is your process for water damage restoration in Gaston County?
We keep the same five steps on every job. We answer, we find how far the water went, we seal the area, we dry the structure, then we repair it. The assessment is where a Gaston job differs. More than a fifth of the housing here was built before 1960. The crawl space and the wall materials get checked before any plan is set. A house in Belmont and a house in Gastonia can need very different drying.
How much does water damage restoration cost in Gaston County?
Size sets the price. We look at how much water came in, where it went and what it soaked before we quote. The visit costs nothing and there is no obligation. We price the job in Xactimate, so the numbers match what your adjuster expects. Gaston holds a Community Rating System class of 9, worth a 5% flood premium discount. Out of pocket work is more common here than one county east.
What causes most water damage in Gaston County homes?
It moves with the season. Winter freezes split old supply lines, and half the housing here predates 1985. Spring and summer storms swell Long Creek, Catawba Creek and Crowders Creek, which rise fast and get under a floor. Autumn brings tropical rain, as Helene did in September 2024. All year round, an enclosed crawl space holds damp long after the water itself is gone.
How quickly do I need to act?
Quickly. Water-damaged materials dried within 24 to 48 hours will in most cases not grow mold. That window starts the moment the water arrives, not the moment you notice it.
Will my insurance cover it?
Most homeowners policies cover sudden and accidental water damage and exclude damage from a lack of proper maintenance. Flooding is usually excluded from a standard policy and covered by separate flood insurance, and your carrier is who confirms it. We bill most carriers directly for the restoration work.
Is the estimate really free?
Yes. We come out and tell you what we find and what the job involves. It costs nothing, and you owe nothing if you decide not to go ahead.
