Who We Are

Built On Certifications, Not Just a Logo

We run our Afton operation on IICRC-certified technicians and commercial-grade equipment, not a subcontractor list we pull from when the phone rings.

Every Afton 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 Afton home.

Ongoing training matters more to us than a certificate on the wall — drying standards and equipment change, and our crews train against the current standard, not the one from five years ago.

Worth a Second Look

Signs Your Property Needs Water Removal

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

A ring that reappears within weeks of a fresh coat of paint means the moisture source is still active, and it's usually a plumbing line, not a roof issue, especially near bathrooms.

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

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

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.

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.

If more than one of these sounds familiar, it's worth a professional moisture check sooner rather than later.

Core Services

The Full Water Removal Process, Start to Finish

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

Every service below gets the same documentation standard, whether it's a single wet closet or a full commercial loss.

Emergency Extraction, First Hour Priority

The first hour after a water loss decides how much of the structure is salvageable, which is why extraction is always the first truck-mount job, not an afterthought behind paperwork.

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

We treat the 48-hour mold window as a deadline for our own drying timeline, not a talking point.

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

Specialized content cleaning often saves items that looked like a total loss at first glance, which keeps replacement costs off your claim.

How It Works

Our Water Removal 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

Skipping or rushing this step is how hidden moisture pockets turn into a mold problem months down the line.

Extraction, Then Drying

Extraction and drying run as one continuous process rather than two separate scheduled visits.

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

Why Locals Call Aqua Guard Water Damage First

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

Shorter drive times matter most in the first hour after a loss, which is exactly when local staging pays off.

Upfront Flat-Rate Pricing

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

Backed by a Real Guarantee

If a drying target isn't hit on schedule, equipment stays on-site at no extra charge until the readings confirm it's dry.

Dry, Documented, Guaranteed

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

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

★★★★★

"I've dealt with contractors before who talk a big game and disappear. The crew here in Afton actually showed up on time and stayed in touch through the whole drying process."

Renee A., Afton
★★★★★

"The daily moisture log gave me something concrete to look at instead of just being told to trust the process."

Owen D., Afton
★★★★★

"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., Afton
★★★★★

"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., Afton
★★★★★

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

Grace T., Afton
★★★★★

"They sectioned off the wet area instead of shutting down the whole office during drying, which kept us operating almost normally."

Nathaniel W., Afton
★★★★★

"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., Afton
★★★★★

"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., Afton
★★★★★

"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., Afton
★★★★★

"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 Water Removal technician arrive in Afton, MN?▼
Crews staged inside Afton typically reach an active water loss in under an hour, since trucks aren't dispatched from a distant office.
Do you provide upfront pricing?▼
Yes — every job starts with a written flat-rate estimate before any equipment turns on, so there's no surprise line item later.
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?▼
Yes, we document every job with photos and moisture logs formatted for insurance claims and can speak with your adjuster directly.
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?▼
We remove only what the moisture readings and contamination level require, not as a default step, to keep repair costs down.
Can you help prevent mold after a leak?▼
Yes, antimicrobial treatment is applied to affected porous materials during the standard drying process, especially past the 48-hour mark.
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?▼
A rough location and timeline speed up dispatch, but don't wait to call just to gather details — we can get that on the way.
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.
