Who We Are

Licensed, Local, and Ready 24/7

Aqua Guard Water Damage has spent years pulling water out of Clear Lake basements, crawl spaces, and commercial units, and that hands-on history shows in how fast our crews assess a loss. We know which Clear Lake neighborhoods sit on older clay pipe, which developments have a history of sump failures, and which zip codes flood first when storm drains back up.

We answer our own phones around the clock in Clear Lake, which means the person who books your appointment already knows our schedule, our crew availability, and how fast we can realistically get a truck to your address.

Beyond the technical certifications, our crews are trained to communicate clearly under pressure, because a homeowner dealing with a flooded home deserves plain answers, not jargon.

Problem Awareness

Signs You Need Flood Damage Repair Right Now

Water Stains or Discoloration

A stain that keeps reappearing after you paint over it is a signal, not a coincidence — the moisture source behind the wall hasn't been addressed and needs a moisture meter reading, not a fresh coat of paint. Repainting without finding the source just hides the problem for a few more weeks.

Musty Odor That Won't Air Out

If opening windows and running a fan doesn't clear the smell within a day, the moisture source is still active and needs professional extraction, not just ventilation. A smell that returns after cleaning is a strong sign the moisture is still present.

Warped or Buckling Flooring

Hardwood that's cupping at the edges or laminate that's separating at the seams is a classic sign of moisture intrusion from below, whether that's a slab leak or groundwater seepage. The longer it sits, the harder the flooring is to salvage.

Rising Water Bill With No Clear Cause

A running-water sound when every fixture in the house is off is a strong sign of a hidden leak feeding your rising bill.

Peeling Paint or Bubbling Wallpaper

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.

Visible Mold Growth

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 Core Services

Comprehensive Flood Damage Repair You Can Count On

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.

Emergency Water Extraction

Standing water gets removed with commercial extraction equipment first, then we run moisture readings across every affected surface so the drying plan targets what's actually still wet, not what looks dry on the surface.

Structural Drying & Dehumidification

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.

Sewage & Contaminated Water Cleanup

Our sewage cleanup protocol follows IICRC S500 contamination standards, isolating the affected area, removing unsalvageable materials, and disinfecting every surface that had contact with blackwater.

Mold Prevention & Remediation

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.

Reconstruction & Repairs

We handle everything from replacing water-damaged drywall and insulation to refinishing floors, so the property is restored to pre-loss condition under one contract instead of three.

Content Cleaning & Pack-Out

Specialized cleaning techniques can often save upholstery, electronics, and documents that look like a total loss at first glance, which keeps out-of-pocket replacement costs down.

Our Process

How Our Flood Damage Repair Response Works

Call Dispatch

A real person answers, gathers the details of your water loss, and routes the closest available crew immediately.

Rapid On-Site Assessment

The assessment sets the entire plan — skipping it or rushing it is how jobs end up with hidden moisture pockets months later.

Extraction & Drying

We set drying equipment based on the specific moisture readings taken during assessment, not a generic placement pattern.

Verification & Repairs

Final verification is where a lot of shortcuts get taken industry-wide — we treat it as mandatory, not optional.

Why Choose Us

The Aqua Guard Water Damage Standard

Licensed & Insured

Insurance and licensing aren't just paperwork here — they're what let us stand behind the work if something doesn't go as planned.

Fast Local Dispatch

A crew close by isn't a marketing line — it's the difference between drying equipment running in an hour versus waiting half a day.

Upfront Flat-Rate Pricing

You get a written estimate before work begins, not a surprise invoice after the drying equipment is already running.

Satisfaction Guarantee

We stand behind every job with a documented re-inspection before we consider the work complete.

We Don't Leave Until the Job Is Verified Dry

We'd rather run drying equipment an extra day at our own cost than close out a job with a moisture reading we're not confident in.

That same standard applies whether it's a single flooded bathroom or a full commercial loss — the sign-off criteria don't change based on job size.

James R., Clear Lake
★★★★★

Denise M., Clear Lake
★★★★★

"Professional from the first phone call to the final walkthrough. They re-tested moisture levels before closing the job instead of just eyeballing it."

★★★★★

"Every question I asked got a straight answer, even the ones about cost, which is rare after dealing with two other contractors who kept dodging the pricing conversation."

Priya S., Clear Lake
★★★★★

"We had a slow leak we didn't notice for weeks and the crew found moisture in places we never would have checked using thermal imaging."

Tyrone B., Clear Lake
★★★★★

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast can a Flood Damage Repair technician arrive in Clear Lake, SD?
Our Clear Lake crews typically reach an active water loss in under an hour, since trucks are staged locally rather than dispatched from a distant office.
What's the difference between clean water and gray water damage?
Category 1 water is sanitary at the source, while Category 2 water has picked up detergents, food particles, or other contaminants that call for more careful handling during extraction.
Do you move or store damaged belongings during the drying process?
We separate and stage contents away from the wet zone during extraction and drying, then help coordinate cleaning for anything that can be salvaged.
What information should I have ready when I call?
Having the general location of the water and a rough timeline ready speeds up dispatch, but don't delay calling just to gather details — we can get that information on the way.
Do you provide upfront pricing?
Yes, every job starts with a written flat-rate estimate before any equipment is turned on, so there are no surprise line items later.
What emergency services are available?
Our emergency line covers extraction, drying, contaminated water cleanup, and the reconstruction that follows, all coordinated by one crew.
Do you work directly with insurance companies?
Yes, we document every job with photos and moisture logs formatted for insurance claims and can communicate directly with your adjuster.
How do you classify contaminated water?
We follow IICRC standards, classifying water as Category 1 (clean), Category 2 (gray), or Category 3 (black/sewage) before choosing extraction and PPE protocols.
How long does structural drying typically take?
Drying time depends on the materials affected and how long they were wet, but we track it with daily moisture logs instead of estimating blindly.
Will you need to remove drywall or flooring?
Only where materials can't be safely dried and sanitized — our goal is to save as much of the original structure as possible.
Can you help prevent mold after a leak?
Yes, antimicrobial treatment is applied to affected porous materials as part of the standard drying process, especially after 48 hours of exposure.
Do you offer service outside normal business hours?
Yes, emergencies are handled around the clock — the same crew structure that answers at 2pm answers at 2am.
What should I do while waiting for the crew to arrive?
Turn off the water supply if you can locate it safely, and stay out of rooms with standing water near electrical outlets or panels.
Do you handle commercial properties?
Yes, we service both residential and commercial properties, with equipment scaled to the size of the loss.
Is a small leak worth calling about?
A small leak left untreated is exactly how hidden mold problems start, so it's worth a moisture check even if the visible damage looks minor.
