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

We run our Glen Ellen operation on IICRC-certified technicians and commercial-grade equipment, not a subcontractor list we pull from when the phone rings.
Every Glen Ellen truck carries moisture meters, thermal cameras, and both standard and low-grain-refrigerant dehumidifiers, because a one-size drying setup doesn't work for every kind of Glen Ellen home.
We also keep documentation formatted the way insurance adjusters actually want to see it, since most of our jobs end up crossing an adjuster's desk at some point.
Not every water problem announces itself with a flooded floor. Most start quietly, and catching one of these signs early is usually the difference between a same-day fix and a much bigger repair.
Fresh paint over an old stain can hide the problem visually for a month or two, right up until the drywall paper backing gives out.
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.
A hollow sound from tile that used to sound solid usually means the mortar bed lost adhesion from sustained moisture underneath.
A sudden increase in usage with no change in household habits is often the earliest sign of a slab leak, well before any visible water shows up.
Bubbling paint near a baseboard or exterior wall usually means moisture is pushing through from behind rather than a simple application defect.
Dark spotting around grout lines or window frames is frequently the first visible sign of a developing moisture problem.
Catching two or more of these signs at once usually means it's past time for a proper inspection.
Bouncing between an extraction company, a drying company, and a repair contractor is how small jobs turn into weeks-long headaches — we keep all three under one roof on purpose.
Every service below gets the same documentation standard, whether it's a single wet closet or a full commercial loss.
Moisture meters classify the water as Category 1, 2, or 3 on arrival, which determines whether it's a straightforward extraction or a full contamination protocol.
Daily drying logs track humidity and surface moisture at every checkpoint, giving you documented proof of progress instead of a verbal 'it's getting there.'
Materials that had direct contact with contaminated water almost always come out rather than get dried in place — that's a safety call, not a cost-cutting one.
If mold has already started, containment with negative air pressure goes up before any demolition begins, so spores don't travel to unaffected rooms.
Once moisture readings confirm the structure is dry, the same team that documented and dried the loss hands off directly into drywall, insulation, and flooring repair.
We inventory and relocate contents that need to leave the affected area, then coordinate their return once the space is verified dry.
This is the same sequence every job follows, whether it's a single flooded room or a full commercial loss.
Real person, real questions, fast routing — the goal is getting a truck moving within minutes of hanging up.
Skipping or rushing this step is how hidden moisture pockets turn into a mold problem months down the line.
Extraction and drying run as one continuous process rather than two separate scheduled visits.
Moisture readings confirm the structure meets a safe drying standard before we hand over documentation and move into reconstruction.
We built the checklist below around the actual complaints people have about restoration companies in general, then made sure Aqua Guard Water Damage doesn't repeat them.
Licensing and insurance aren't paperwork we keep in a drawer; they're what let us stand behind the work if something doesn't go as planned.
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.
Every job closes with a documented re-inspection, not a handshake and an invoice.
If our readings don't hit a safe drying standard on schedule, equipment stays running at our cost until they do — that's the bar we hold ourselves to.
Technicians aren't rewarded for closing jobs quickly, which keeps the incentive pointed at actually finishing the drying right.

We track call patterns by zip code across Glen Ellen to keep crew staffing matched to where emergencies actually happen.
"Our water heater gave out overnight and by the time I found the pool of water it had already crept under the cabinets. The crew here in Glen Ellen had it extracted and drying equipment running before I finished my coffee."
Renee A., Glen Ellen"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., Glen Ellen"Professional from the first call to the final walkthrough, and they re-tested moisture before closing the job instead of eyeballing it."
Fatima J., Glen Ellen"Fast response and clear pricing, and they handled the back-and-forth with my insurance adjuster directly, which saved me a genuinely stressful week."
Lucas P., Glen Ellen"We had a slow leak for weeks without noticing, and thermal imaging found moisture in a spot we never would have checked ourselves."
Grace T., Glen Ellen"Working a commercial job around our business hours could have been a scheduling nightmare, but they made it simple."
Nathaniel W., Glen Ellen"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., Glen Ellen"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., Glen Ellen"They found the actual source of the leak instead of just drying the surface damage, which saved us from the same problem happening again in a month."
Melissa C., Glen Ellen"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."
Victor N., Glen Ellen
