A flooded basement doesn't wait for business hours, and neither do we. Aqua Guard Water Damage keeps trucks staged around Nicollet so a licensed technician can be pulling standing water within the hour, not scheduling you for next Tuesday.

Our Nicollet technicians hold IICRC water restoration certifications and carry that training into every job, from a Category 1 clean-water leak to a Category 3 sewage backup. We're not a call center routing you to a random subcontractor; we're the crew that shows up.
Being local to Nicollet means our estimators know the going rate for drywall and flooring replacement in your area, so the quote you get reflects your market instead of a national average that never quite matches your invoice.
We also carry direct experience working alongside insurance adjusters, so the documentation we generate on day one is already formatted the way most carriers expect to see it.
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.
A persistent musty smell in a basement or bathroom usually means microbial growth has already started somewhere you can't see, often inside wall cavities or under flooring. Air fresheners will mask it temporarily but won't touch the actual source.
Tile that suddenly sounds hollow when you tap it often means the mortar bed underneath has been sitting in moisture long enough to lose adhesion. That hollow sound rarely resolves on its own.
If your usage climbs but nothing in your household routine changed, a hidden leak behind a wall or under the foundation is worth investigating immediately, since slab leaks rarely announce themselves any other way.
Wallpaper that lifts at the seams after being fine for years is often a sign that humidity or a slow leak has changed the moisture level inside that wall.
Dark spotting in grout lines or around window frames is often the first visible sign of a moisture problem that's been developing for weeks.
Our Flood Damage Repair process covers every stage of a water loss, from the first extraction pass to the final coat of paint, so you're never left coordinating separate contractors mid-project.
Our crews arrive with truck-mount extraction units capable of pulling thousands of gallons per hour, using moisture meters to classify the water as Category 1, 2, or 3 before drying even starts.
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.
Blackwater jobs get treated with extra caution, since porous materials that touched contaminated water almost always need to be removed rather than dried in place.
If mold has already taken hold, our containment and remediation process isolates the affected zone with negative air pressure before any demolition begins, keeping spores from spreading to unaffected rooms.
Once the structure tests dry, our reconstruction team handles drywall, insulation, flooring, and trim so you're not managing a second contractor after the restoration crew leaves.
We inventory and pack out contents that need to leave the affected area during drying, then coordinate their return once the space is verified dry and repairs are complete.
Dispatch asks enough to prep the right equipment before the truck even leaves, so the crew isn't guessing what they'll find on arrival.
The assessment sets the entire plan — skipping it or rushing it is how jobs end up with hidden moisture pockets months later.
Extraction and drying run as one continuous process rather than two separate visits, which keeps the timeline tighter.
Final verification is where a lot of shortcuts get taken industry-wide — we treat it as mandatory, not optional.
Insurance and licensing aren't just paperwork here — they're what let us stand behind the work if something doesn't go as planned.
Trucks are staged regionally so a crew can typically reach you well before a national chain's call center even finishes your intake form.
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.
If our moisture readings don't hit a safe drying standard on schedule, we keep equipment on site at no additional cost until they do — that's the standard we hold ourselves to.
Our technicians don't get paid faster by closing jobs early, which keeps the incentive aligned with actually finishing the drying properly.
Call +1-844-234-5373Our Nicollet coverage area spans 56074, with trucks positioned to reach any address in the service radius quickly.
We track call volume by zip code across Nicollet to keep crew staffing matched to where emergencies actually happen most often.
"A pipe burst behind our water heater and the crew here in Nicollet 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., Nicollet"What impressed me most was the daily moisture log — I could actually see the numbers improving instead of just being told to trust the process."
Denise M., Nicollet"They didn't cut corners on the contaminated water cleanup even though it would have been faster to skip the sanitization step — that mattered to me given we have young kids in the house."
Marcus T., Nicollet"The reconstruction crew matched our original flooring almost perfectly after the water damage repair — you'd never know there was a leak."
Priya S., Nicollet"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., Nicollet"They minimized business disruption by sectioning off the wet area instead of shutting down the whole space during drying."
Angela F., Nicollet"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., Nicollet"They explained the sump discharge issue causing our crawl space flooding in plain terms and fixed it as part of the same visit instead of scheduling a separate appointment."
Wendy K., Nicollet
