When a pipe bursts or a storm backs up your drain lines, waiting on hold is the last thing you can afford. Our Los Alamos-based crews carry moisture meters and truck-mount extraction equipment on every rig so the drying process starts the moment we knock on your door.

Aqua Guard Water Damage has spent years pulling water out of Los Alamos basements, crawl spaces, and commercial units, and that hands-on history shows in how fast our crews assess a loss. We know which Los Alamos 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.
Being local to Los Alamos 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 invest in ongoing training as drying standards and equipment evolve, rather than treating a technician's initial certification as the finish line.
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.
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.
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.
A running-water sound when every fixture in the house is off is a strong sign of a hidden leak feeding your rising bill.
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.
We treat Flood Damage Repair 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.
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.
We place industrial air movers and low-grain-refrigerant dehumidifiers based on psychrometric readings, then log moisture levels daily until every affected material returns to a safe drying standard.
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.
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.
A real person answers, gathers the details of your water loss, and routes the closest available crew immediately.
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.
Extraction and drying run as one continuous process rather than two separate visits, which keeps the timeline tighter.
We re-test every affected area before calling a job complete, then coordinate repairs so you're not left with an open punch list.
Insurance and licensing aren't just paperwork here — they're what let us stand behind the work if something doesn't go as planned.
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.
You get a written estimate before work begins, not a surprise invoice after the drying equipment is already running.
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.
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.
Call +1-844-234-5373Whether your address falls in 93440 or one of the neighboring zip codes we cover, the same crew and the same response standard applies.
We track call volume by zip code across Los Alamos to keep crew staffing matched to where emergencies actually happen most often.
"The team here in Los Alamos treated our emergency like it actually mattered, not like another ticket in a queue, and the drying documentation they left us was thorough enough to hand straight to our insurer."
James R., Los Alamos"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., Los Alamos"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., Los Alamos"The reconstruction crew matched our original flooring almost perfectly after the water damage repair — you'd never know there was a leak."
Priya S., Los Alamos"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., Los Alamos"They minimized business disruption by sectioning off the wet area instead of shutting down the whole space during drying."
Angela F., Los Alamos"A cracked supply line under the kitchen sink went unnoticed for days and by the time we called, the subfloor was saturated. The crew pulled the damaged material and had drying equipment running within the hour."
Tyrone B., Los Alamos"Storm runoff got into our crawl space and the smell alone told us something was wrong. The crew found the vapor barrier had failed and fixed the actual cause, not just the symptom."
Wendy K., Los Alamos
