There's a specific kind of dread that comes with standing water spreading across a Minneapolis living room floor. We're built to shorten that window between the panic and the fix.

IICRC-certified technicians on every truck
Aqua Guard Water Damage didn't parachute into Minneapolis with a rented truck and a stock script. Our technicians have worked this market long enough to know which neighborhoods sit low, which ones have older cast-iron plumbing, and which zip codes call in during every heavy storm.
Our Minneapolis dispatch desk is staffed around the clock by people, not an automated queue, which matters most at exactly the hour you're calling.
Homeowners dealing with a flood are stressed enough without technical jargon, so we train our crews to explain the process in plain terms from the first phone call.
Water damage rarely starts as a dramatic flood — it usually starts small, and these are the signs worth acting on before the damage spreads further.
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 musty note that wasn't there a season ago usually means microbial growth has started somewhere behind a wall or under flooring, well before you can see anything.
Flooring that shifts slightly when you walk on it, even subtly, is worth a moisture reading before it gets worse.
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.
Bubbling paint near a baseboard or exterior wall usually means moisture is pushing through from behind rather than a simple application defect.
Mold that returns after a bleach cleaning is a sign the moisture source behind it was never actually addressed.
If more than one of these sounds familiar, it's worth a professional moisture check sooner rather than later.
Treating Water Damage Repair as a single continuous job, rather than a series of handoffs, is what keeps timelines shorter and documentation consistent.
Every service below gets the same documentation standard, whether it's a single wet closet or a full commercial loss.
The first hour after a water loss decides how much of the structure is salvageable, which is why extraction is always the first truck-mount job, not an afterthought behind paperwork.
We don't call a structure dry based on a visual check — the moisture meter has the final say before equipment comes down.
Our sewage cleanup protocol follows IICRC S500 guidelines start to finish, including isolation of the affected zone and disposal documentation.
We treat the 48-hour mold window as a deadline for our own drying timeline, not a talking point.
Reconstruction starts from the actual drying documentation, not a fresh guess, which keeps the repair scope accurate.
Furniture, electronics, and documents get assessed on-site, with salvageable items cleaned and stored while the space dries.
Four steps, no guesswork — here's exactly what happens between your call and a verified-dry structure.
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.
Photo and moisture documentation happens before any equipment gets touched, which protects your insurance claim later.
Extraction and drying run as one continuous process rather than two separate scheduled visits.
Final verification is where corners often get cut industry-wide; we treat it as mandatory.
None of these four things matter in isolation — it's the combination of licensing, speed, honest pricing, and a real guarantee that actually changes the outcome of a water emergency.
Every technician carries IICRC certification, and every crew works fully insured — documentation available whenever you want it.
A nearby crew isn't a slogan — it's the gap between drying equipment running in an hour versus half a day.
We'd rather have the pricing conversation upfront than after the job's already underway.
A guarantee only counts if it's backed by a second moisture reading, not just good intentions.
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.

"What stood out was how calm the technician stayed while explaining a genuinely stressful situation — that mattered more than I expected."
Renee A., Minneapolis"A storm backed water into our finished basement and the crew classified it, extracted it, and had dehumidifiers running that same afternoon. The invoice matched the quote to the dollar."
Owen D., Minneapolis"Professional from the first call to the final walkthrough, and they re-tested moisture before closing the job instead of eyeballing it."
Fatima J., Minneapolis"Every cost question got a straight answer, even the awkward ones, which is more than I can say for the last two contractors I dealt with."
Lucas P., Minneapolis"Getting a daily drying log meant we always knew where the job stood instead of a vague verbal update."
Grace T., Minneapolis"They sectioned off the wet area instead of shutting down the whole office during drying, which kept us operating almost normally."
Nathaniel W., Minneapolis"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., Minneapolis"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., Minneapolis"Our upstairs bathroom leaked into the kitchen ceiling below and the crew traced it back to a failed wax ring on the toilet, not just patched the visible ceiling stain."
Melissa C., Minneapolis"A dishwasher supply line failed while we were on vacation and came home to a soaked kitchen floor. They handled the extraction, drying, and coordination with our property manager without us having to fly back early."
