A washing machine hose lets go at 2am and suddenly your Hinckley laundry room is underwater — that's the exact moment our dispatch line is built for, with a technician routed before you've finished mopping the first puddle.

IICRC-certified technicians on every truck
Aqua Guard Water Damage didn't parachute into Hinckley 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.
Every Hinckley 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 Hinckley 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Mold that returns after a bleach cleaning is a sign the moisture source behind it was never actually addressed.
Catching two or more of these signs at once usually means it's past time for a proper inspection.
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.
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.
Daily drying logs track humidity and surface moisture at every checkpoint, giving you documented proof of progress instead of a verbal 'it's getting there.'
Materials that had direct contact with contaminated water almost always come out rather than get dried in place — that's a safety call, not a cost-cutting one.
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.
We inventory and relocate contents that need to leave the affected area, then coordinate their return once the space is verified dry.
Four steps, no guesswork — here's exactly what happens between your call and a verified-dry structure.
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.
Photo and moisture documentation happens before any equipment gets touched, which protects your insurance claim later.
Standing water comes out first with commercial extraction equipment, then air movers and dehumidifiers go to work based on the readings just taken.
Moisture readings confirm the structure meets a safe drying standard before we hand over documentation and move into reconstruction.
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.
Regionally staged trucks mean a crew often arrives before a national chain's call center finishes the intake questionnaire.
We'd rather have the pricing conversation upfront than after the job's already underway.
If a drying target isn't hit on schedule, equipment stays on-site at no extra charge until the readings confirm it's dry.
We'd rather run a dehumidifier an extra day on our dime than sign off on a reading we're not confident in.
Technicians aren't rewarded for closing jobs quickly, which keeps the incentive pointed at actually finishing the drying right.
Call +1-844-578-1604Whether your address sits in 55037 or a neighboring zip, the same crew and the same response standard applies.
Coverage extends past the city core into the surrounding Hinckley suburbs, so an outlying address isn't treated as a second-tier call.
"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 Hinckley had it extracted and drying equipment running before I finished my coffee."
Renee A., Hinckley"A storm backed water into our finished basement and the crew classified it, extracted it, and had dehumidifiers running that same afternoon. The invoice matched the quote to the dollar."
Owen D., Hinckley"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., Hinckley"The reconstruction crew matched our original flooring almost exactly after the repair — you'd never guess there was ever a leak."
Lucas P., Hinckley"Getting a daily drying log meant we always knew where the job stood instead of a vague verbal update."
Grace T., Hinckley"Working a commercial job around our business hours could have been a scheduling nightmare, but they made it simple."
Nathaniel W., Hinckley"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., Hinckley"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., Hinckley"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., Hinckley"Being out of town when it happened was stressful enough — having a crew that could work directly with our property manager made it manageable."
Victor N., Hinckley
