Who We Are

Built On Certifications, Not Just a Logo

Ask a Montrose homeowner who's dealt with a burst pipe at 3am and, if they called us, they'll tell you the same thing: someone answered, and someone showed up. That's the whole model.

Our Montrose dispatch desk is staffed around the clock by people, not an automated queue, which matters most at exactly the hour you're calling.

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.

Worth a Second Look

Signs Your Property Needs Water Removal

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.

A Ceiling Stain That Keeps Coming Back

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 Basement That Smells Different Than It Used To

If a dehumidifier and open windows don't clear the smell within a day or two, there's an active moisture source that ventilation alone won't solve.

Flooring That Feels Different Underfoot

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.

A Water Bill That Jumped for No Reason

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.

Paint or Wallpaper Lifting Away From the Wall

Bubbling paint near a baseboard or exterior wall usually means moisture is pushing through from behind rather than a simple application defect.

Any Visible Mold, Even a Small Patch

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.

Core Services

One Crew, Every Stage of Water Removal

Treating Water Removal as a single continuous job, rather than a series of handoffs, is what keeps timelines shorter and documentation consistent.

The equipment on our trucks scales up or down to the job, but the process — assess, extract, dry, verify, repair — doesn't change.

Emergency Extraction, First Hour Priority

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.

Structural Drying, Tracked With Real Numbers

Air movers and dehumidifiers get placed according to psychrometric readings taken at assessment, not a default layout used on every job regardless of conditions.

Category 3 & Sewage Cleanup

Our sewage cleanup protocol follows IICRC S500 guidelines start to finish, including isolation of the affected zone and disposal documentation.

Mold Prevention Built Into the Drying Plan

If mold has already started, containment with negative air pressure goes up before any demolition begins, so spores don't travel to unaffected rooms.

Reconstruction Under the Same Contract

Reconstruction starts from the actual drying documentation, not a fresh guess, which keeps the repair scope accurate.

Content Pack-Out & Cleaning

Furniture, electronics, and documents get assessed on-site, with salvageable items cleaned and stored while the space dries.

How It Works

Our Water Removal Response, Step by Step

Four steps, no guesswork — here's exactly what happens between your call and a verified-dry structure.

Dispatch Picks Up

Dispatch gathers just enough detail to load the right equipment before the truck leaves the lot.

Technician Maps the Damage

Photo and moisture documentation happens before any equipment gets touched, which protects your insurance claim later.

Extraction, Then Drying

Standing water comes out first with commercial extraction equipment, then air movers and dehumidifiers go to work based on the readings just taken.

Verified Dry, Then Repaired

Moisture readings confirm the structure meets a safe drying standard before we hand over documentation and move into reconstruction.

Why Choose Us

The Aqua Guard Water Damage Standard

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.

Licensed & Insured

Every technician carries IICRC certification, and every crew works fully insured — documentation available whenever you want it.

Fast Local Dispatch

A nearby crew isn't a slogan — it's the gap between drying equipment running in an hour versus half a day.

Upfront Flat-Rate Pricing

We'd rather have the pricing conversation upfront than after the job's already underway.

Backed by a Real Guarantee

Every job closes with a documented re-inspection, not a handshake and an invoice.

The Aqua Guard Water Damage Promise

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.

The standard doesn't change based on job size — a single bathroom flood gets the same sign-off criteria as a full commercial loss.

Reviews

What Customers Tell Us Afterward

★★★★★

"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 Montrose had it extracted and drying equipment running before I finished my coffee."

Renee A., Montrose
★★★★★

"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., Montrose
★★★★★

"They didn't cut corners on the sanitization step even though it clearly slowed them down — with two kids in the house, that mattered to us."

Fatima J., Montrose
★★★★★

"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., Montrose
★★★★★

"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., Montrose
★★★★★

"Working a commercial job around our business hours could have been a scheduling nightmare, but they made it simple."

Nathaniel W., Montrose
★★★★★

"A cracked supply line under our kitchen sink went unnoticed for days, and by the time we called, the subfloor was saturated. They only replaced what actually tested wet, not the whole floor."

Bianca H., Montrose
★★★★★

"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., Montrose
★★★★★

"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., Montrose
★★★★★

"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., Montrose

How long does drying usually take?▼
Most residential drying cycles run three to five days, confirmed with daily moisture readings rather than a fixed calendar guess.
Will drywall or flooring need to come out?▼
We remove only what the moisture readings and contamination level require, not as a default step, to keep repair costs down.

Do you handle commercial properties?▼
Yes, we service both residential and commercial jobs, scaling equipment to the size of the loss.
Is it worth calling about a small leak?▼
A small leak left alone is exactly how hidden mold problems start, so it's worth a moisture check even if the visible damage looks minor.
What information should I have ready when I call?▼
It helps to know roughly where the water's coming from and whether it looks clean or contaminated, though we'll walk you through it if you're not sure.
Do you guarantee your drying results?▼
Yes — if moisture readings don't hit a safe standard on schedule, we keep equipment running at no extra charge until they do, verified with a second reading before we close the job.
Can I stay in my home during the drying process?▼
It depends on the extent of the damage and whether contamination is involved, but many residential jobs allow the household to stay while drying equipment runs.
