When a pipe bursts or a storm backs up your drain lines, waiting on hold is the last thing you can afford. Our Montrose-based crews carry moisture meters and truck-mount extraction equipment on every rig so the drying process starts the moment we knock on your door.

Aqua Guard Water Damage has spent years pulling water out of Montrose basements, crawl spaces, and commercial units, and that hands-on history shows in how fast our crews assess a loss. We know which Montrose neighborhoods sit on older clay pipe, which developments have a history of sump failures, and which zip codes flood first when storm drains back up.
Every technician on our Montrose 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.
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.
If opening windows and running a fan doesn't clear the smell within a day, the moisture source is still active and needs professional extraction, not just ventilation. A smell that returns after cleaning is a strong sign the moisture is still present.
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.
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.
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.
Any visible mold, even a small patch in a corner or along a baseboard, means conditions behind that surface have supported growth for a while and the moisture source needs to be found, not just the mold wiped away.
We treat Mold Remediation as one continuous job rather than a series of handoffs — the crew that extracts the water is accountable for the drying results, and the drying results determine what reconstruction is actually needed.
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.
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.
Category 3 blackwater intrusions require full PPE, controlled demolition of porous materials that can't be sanitized, and hospital-grade antimicrobial treatment before reconstruction begins.
Once structural drying is underway, we apply antimicrobial treatments to studs, subfloor, and other porous surfaces to stop mold colonies before they establish, especially in areas that stayed wet more than 48 hours.
The same team that documented the damage and dried the structure hands off directly to reconstruction, which keeps the whole timeline shorter and the paperwork simpler.
Furniture, documents, and electronics affected by water intrusion get assessed on-site, with salvageable items cleaned and stored while unsalvageable items are documented for your claim.
A real person answers, gathers the details of your water loss, and routes the closest available crew immediately.
We document the loss with photos and moisture readings before touching anything, which also protects your insurance claim.
We set drying equipment based on the specific moisture readings taken during assessment, not a generic placement pattern.
Final verification is where a lot of shortcuts get taken industry-wide — we treat it as mandatory, not optional.
We operate under proper licensing and insurance in every market we serve, with documentation available on request.
Local staging means shorter drive times, which matters most in the first hour after a water loss.
You get a written estimate before work begins, not a surprise invoice after the drying equipment is already running.
A guarantee only means something if it's backed by a second set of moisture readings, not just a handshake at the end of the visit.
Every job closes with documented moisture verification, because a guarantee that isn't backed by data isn't much of a guarantee.
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.
Call +1-844-234-5373Whether your address falls in 91020 or one of the neighboring zip codes we cover, the same crew and the same response standard applies.
We track call volume by zip code across Montrose to keep crew staffing matched to where emergencies actually happen most often.
"A pipe burst behind our water heater and the crew here in Montrose had extraction units running within 40 minutes of my call. They walked me through the moisture readings every day until it was fully dry."
James R., Montrose"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., Montrose"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., Montrose"Fast response, clear pricing, and they coordinated directly with my insurance adjuster which saved me a huge headache during a stressful week."
Priya S., Montrose"The thermal imaging inspection found damage behind a cabinet we never would have thought to check, which probably saved us from a much bigger mold problem down the road."
Carlos V., Montrose"Our commercial unit flooded overnight and they had industrial equipment running before our staff arrived for the morning shift."
Angela F., Montrose"The tech explained exactly which boards needed to come out and which ones tested dry enough to keep, so we didn't pay to replace more than necessary."
Tyrone B., Montrose"Storm runoff got into our crawl space and the smell alone told us something was wrong. The crew found the vapor barrier had failed and fixed the actual cause, not just the symptom."
Wendy K., Montrose
