Who We Are

A Local Crew, Not a Call Center

Aqua Guard Water Damage didn't parachute into University Place 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 University Place 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.

Worth a Second Look

Signs Your Property Needs Flood Damage Cleanup

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.

A Ceiling Stain That Keeps Coming Back

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 Basement That Smells Different Than It Used To

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 Feels Different Underfoot

A hollow sound from tile that used to sound solid usually means the mortar bed lost adhesion from sustained moisture underneath.

A Water Bill That Jumped for No Reason

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.

Paint or Wallpaper Lifting Away From the Wall

Bubbling near a window frame frequently traces back to a failed seal letting water in gradually.

Any Visible Mold, Even a Small Patch

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.

Core Services

Everything a Flood Damage Cleanup Job Needs, Under One Roof

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.

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

We treat extraction speed as the single biggest variable we control — every additional hour of standing water raises the odds of secondary damage.

Structural Drying, Tracked With Real Numbers

We don't call a structure dry based on a visual check — the moisture meter has the final say before equipment comes down.

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

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.

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 Flood Damage Cleanup Response, Step by Step

This is the same sequence every job follows, whether it's a single flooded room or a full commercial loss.

Dispatch Picks Up

Real person, real questions, fast routing — the goal is getting a truck moving within minutes of hanging up.

Technician Maps the Damage

Moisture meters and thermal cameras trace exactly how far water has traveled, including inside walls and under flooring where it's invisible to the eye.

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

Final verification is where corners often get cut industry-wide; we treat it as mandatory.

Why Choose Us

What Sets Aqua Guard Water Damage Apart

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

We'll show you the credentials before we show you the invoice, if that's what puts you at ease.

Fast Local Dispatch

Regionally staged trucks mean a crew often arrives before a national chain's call center finishes the intake questionnaire.

Upfront Flat-Rate Pricing

You get a written estimate before equipment turns on, not a surprise invoice after the fact.

Backed by a Real Guarantee

A guarantee only counts if it's backed by a second moisture reading, not just good intentions.

We Verify Before We Call It Done

We'd rather run a dehumidifier an extra day on our dime than sign off on a reading we're not confident in.

This isn't marketing copy — it's the actual checklist our crews sign off against before a job is marked complete.

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

Renee A., University Place
★★★★★

"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., University Place
★★★★★

"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., University Place
★★★★★

"The reconstruction crew matched our original flooring almost exactly after the repair — you'd never guess there was ever a leak."

Lucas P., University Place
★★★★★

"Getting a daily drying log meant we always knew where the job stood instead of a vague verbal update."

Grace T., University Place
★★★★★

"Our office flooded overnight and industrial equipment was already running before our staff arrived for the morning shift."

Nathaniel W., University Place
★★★★★

"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., University Place
★★★★★

"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., University Place
★★★★★

"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., University Place
★★★★★

"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."

FAQ

Questions We Hear Most Often

How fast can a Flood Damage Cleanup technician arrive in University Place, WA?▼
Crews staged inside University Place typically reach an active water loss in under an hour, since trucks aren't dispatched from a distant office.
Do you provide upfront pricing?▼
We quote upfront based on the assessment, and that number is what you pay regardless of how long drying takes.
What emergency services do you offer?▼
Our emergency line covers 24/7 water extraction, structural drying, sewage cleanup, mold prevention, and reconstruction under one call.
Do you work with insurance companies directly?▼
We provide the documentation adjusters expect and are glad to communicate with your insurance company on your behalf.
How is contaminated water classified?▼
Water gets classified on arrival using IICRC S500 guidelines, which determines whether standard extraction or full contamination handling applies.
How long does drying usually take?▼
Timing depends on the materials affected and how long they stayed wet, tracked daily with moisture logs instead of an estimate.
Will drywall or flooring need to come out?▼
Only where materials can't be safely dried and sanitized — the goal is saving as much of the original structure as possible.
Can you help prevent mold after a leak?▼
Mold prevention is built into our drying protocol, not sold separately, since anything wet more than two days carries real risk.
Are you available outside normal business hours?▼
Our dispatch line runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week, holidays included, since water damage doesn't wait for business hours.
What should I do while waiting for the crew?▼
Turn off the water supply if you can safely reach it, and avoid rooms with standing water near electrical panels or outlets.
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.
