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

Aqua Guard Water Damage has spent years pulling water out of Ely basements, crawl spaces, and commercial units, and that hands-on history shows in how fast our crews assess a loss. We know which Ely 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 Ely, 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.
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.
Carpet that stays damp or squishy days after you last noticed water is holding moisture against the subfloor, which is exactly the condition that lets mold take hold underneath.
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.
Bubbling near a window or exterior wall frequently points to a flashing or seal failure letting water into the wall cavity a little at a time.
Mold that returns after cleaning with bleach is a sign the underlying moisture source was never addressed, since surface cleaning does nothing for saturated material behind the wall.
We treat Emergency Water Damage as one continuous job rather than a series of handoffs — the crew that extracts the water is accountable for the drying results, and the drying results determine what reconstruction is actually needed.
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.
The same team that documented the damage and dried the structure hands off directly to reconstruction, which keeps the whole timeline shorter and the paperwork simpler.
Furniture, documents, and electronics affected by water intrusion get assessed on-site, with salvageable items cleaned and stored while unsalvageable items are documented for your claim.
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.
Technicians arrive with moisture meters and thermal cameras to map exactly how far the water has traveled, including inside walls and under flooring where you can't see it.
Standing water comes out first with truck-mount equipment, then air movers and dehumidifiers go to work based on the psychrometric numbers we recorded.
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.
Local staging means shorter drive times, which matters most in the first hour after a water loss.
We'd rather explain the cost clearly upfront than have that conversation after the job is already underway.
If a drying target isn't met on the first pass, we extend equipment placement at no extra charge until moisture readings confirm the structure is dry.
Every job closes with documented moisture verification, because a guarantee that isn't backed by data isn't much of a guarantee.
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.
Call +1-844-234-5373Whether your address falls in 55731 or one of the neighboring zip codes we cover, the same crew and the same response standard applies.
Coverage isn't limited to the city center — our Ely routes extend out to the surrounding suburbs so outlying addresses aren't treated as an afterthought.
"A pipe burst behind our water heater and the crew here in Ely 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., Ely"They caught mold starting behind our drywall before it spread and contained it properly instead of just painting over the problem like a previous contractor did."
Denise M., Ely"The sewage backup in our laundry room was handled with full PPE and proper disposal of the ruined flooring. I appreciated that they explained the Category 3 contamination process before starting."
Marcus T., Ely"The reconstruction crew matched our original flooring almost perfectly after the water damage repair — you'd never know there was a leak."
Priya S., Ely"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., Ely"Our commercial unit flooded overnight and they had industrial equipment running before our staff arrived for the morning shift."
Angela F., Ely"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., Ely"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., Ely
