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

We run our Truckee operation on IICRC-certified technicians and commercial-grade equipment, not a subcontractor list we pull from when the phone rings.
Every Truckee 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 Truckee 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.
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.
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.
Hardwood cupping at the edges, laminate lifting at the seams, or carpet that stays spongy days after you last noticed water — all three point to moisture sitting against the subfloor.
Catching a hidden leak through the water bill is far cheaper than waiting for it to surface as a flooded room.
Wallpaper that suddenly lifts at the seams after holding fine for years often signals a change in the humidity or moisture level inside that wall cavity.
A small patch of mold in a corner or along a baseboard means conditions behind that surface have supported growth for a while — the source needs to be found, not just wiped away.
If more than one of these sounds familiar, it's worth a professional moisture check sooner rather than later.
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.
We treat extraction speed as the single biggest variable we control — every additional hour of standing water raises the odds of secondary damage.
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.
Antimicrobial treatment on studs, subfloor, and other porous surfaces happens during the drying phase, especially anywhere that stayed wet more than 48 hours.
One contract from extraction through reconstruction means you're not managing two separate companies and two separate invoices.
Furniture, electronics, and documents get assessed on-site, with salvageable items cleaned and stored while the space dries.
This is the same sequence every job follows, whether it's a single flooded room or a full commercial loss.
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.
Skipping or rushing this step is how hidden moisture pockets turn into a mold problem months down the line.
Standing water comes out first with commercial extraction equipment, then air movers and dehumidifiers go to work based on the readings just taken.
Every affected area gets re-tested before we call the job complete — no shortcuts on the sign-off.
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.
Every technician carries IICRC certification, and every crew works fully insured — documentation available whenever you want it.
Shorter drive times matter most in the first hour after a loss, which is exactly when local staging pays off.
The number we quote is the number you pay, regardless of how long the drying cycle runs.
If a drying target isn't hit on schedule, equipment stays on-site at no extra charge until the readings confirm it's dry.
Every job closes with documented moisture verification, because a promise without data behind it isn't much of a promise.
Technicians aren't rewarded for closing jobs quickly, which keeps the incentive pointed at actually finishing the drying right.
Call +1-844-578-1604Our Truckee service radius covers 96161 96160, with trucks positioned to reach any address quickly, not just the neighborhoods closest to a single office.
We track call patterns by zip code across Truckee to keep crew staffing matched to where emergencies actually happen.
"I've dealt with contractors before who talk a big game and disappear. The crew here in Truckee actually showed up on time and stayed in touch through the whole drying process."
Renee A., Truckee"They found mold starting behind our baseboards before it spread and handled containment properly instead of painting over it like a previous company tried."
Owen D., Truckee"Professional from the first call to the final walkthrough, and they re-tested moisture before closing the job instead of eyeballing it."
Fatima J., Truckee"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., Truckee"Getting a daily drying log meant we always knew where the job stood instead of a vague verbal update."
Grace T., Truckee"Working a commercial job around our business hours could have been a scheduling nightmare, but they made it simple."
Nathaniel W., Truckee"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., Truckee"They explained the crawl space drainage issue in plain terms instead of technical jargon, and fixed it on the spot rather than scheduling a separate trip."
Derek S., Truckee"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., Truckee"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., Truckee
