Why us
Why Kannapolis 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. One of our three offices is in Charlotte, about 18 miles from Kannapolis, so we reach most homes 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 Kannapolis since 2014
A wet autumn keeps the ground under a house damp for weeks. About 44 percent of the city's housing was built in 1979 or earlier, and older Piedmont houses often sit over a crawl space. Damp joists and soaked insulation turn into a mold problem months later. We have dried crawl spaces since 2014, and we measure the air under the floor, not just the rooms above.
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.

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
How our water mitigation works in Kannapolis, step by step
Kannapolis housing splits almost evenly between homes built before 1980 and homes built since 2000. We run five steps on every job: the call, the assessment, containment, extraction and drying, then the repairs. Material dried inside 24 to 48 hours will in most cases not grow mold, so the first two days set the pace. The assessment answers two questions here. The first is what is under the floor. Forest Park and Jackson Park sit at the older end of that range, and Pennant Square at the newer. Foundation type is not recorded at city level, so we read it on site. The second is where the water came from, because creek water and a burst pipe do not get the same drying plan.

FAQ
Water damage restoration in Kannapolis: common questions
Do you cover Kannapolis?
Yes. Kannapolis is one of 25 cities we cover across the Charlotte metro and into South Carolina, worked out of offices in Waxhaw, Fort Mill, Charlotte.
What is your process for water damage restoration in Kannapolis?
We run five steps in the same order every time. We take the call, find what is wet, contain it, extract the water and dry the structure, then repair the damage. Two things change the plan in Kannapolis. The first is the foundation. The West Avenue District downtown and the newer subdivisions along the North Cannon Boulevard corridor are not the same build. The second is the water source, because creek water is dirty and clean supply water is not.
How much does water damage restoration cost in Kannapolis?
It depends on how much water there is, how far it spread and what it soaked. That is why the estimate is free. We come out, walk the property with you and price the work before you decide. Creek water costs more than a clean supply line, because soaked carpet pad, insulation and drywall have to come out. Many jobs are paid by the homeowner's insurance, and we write our estimates in Xactimate, the same software adjusters use.
What causes most water damage in Kannapolis homes?
Four things, and they take turns through the year. A winter freeze breaks pipes. Spring rain loads Irish Buffalo Creek, and summer storms flood low ground. A wet autumn keeps a crawl space damp. June 2023 is the local example. Heavy rain pushed the creek out of its banks along Tiffany Drive, and water went 38.5 inches over the Kannapolis Lake spillway. The rest of the year, a burst supply line or a failed water heater does most of the damage.
What should I do before our crew gets there?
Shut the water off at the main if you can reach it, and cut the power to any room holding standing water. Photograph everything before you move it, because your insurance company will want those pictures. Lift what you can onto a dry floor. Stay out of standing water while the power is still on, and we will talk you through the rest on the phone.
Do you handle the repairs, or only the drying?
Both. We are licensed general contractors in North Carolina, so we do the water work and the rebuild that follows it: drywall, flooring, paint and cabinets. That is one company and one number for the whole job, from the first emergency call through to the last coat of paint.
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 walk the property with you, and we show you what the water did and what it will cost to fix. That visit is free and there is no obligation.
