Who We Are

Built On Certifications, Not Just a Logo

We run our Kelso operation on IICRC-certified technicians and commercial-grade equipment, not a subcontractor list we pull from when the phone rings.

Local pricing means local pricing — our Kelso estimates reflect actual regional labor and material costs, not a national average that leaves you either overpaying or underinsured.

Homeowners dealing with a flood are stressed enough without technical jargon, so we train our crews to explain the process in plain terms from the first phone call.

Worth a Second Look

Signs Your Property Needs Flood Damage Cleanup

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.

A Ceiling Stain That Keeps Coming Back

Fresh paint over an old stain can hide the problem visually for a month or two, right up until the drywall paper backing gives out.

A Basement That Smells Different Than It Used To

A smell that gets stronger after rain is a strong hint that groundwater or a foundation crack is letting moisture in during wet weather.

Flooring That Feels Different Underfoot

Flooring that shifts slightly when you walk on it, even subtly, is worth a moisture reading before it gets worse.

A Water Bill That Jumped for No Reason

Catching a hidden leak through the water bill is far cheaper than waiting for it to surface as a flooded room.

Paint or Wallpaper Lifting Away From the Wall

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.

Any Visible Mold, Even a Small Patch

A small patch of mold in a corner or along a baseboard means conditions behind that surface have supported growth for a while — the source needs to be found, not just wiped away.

Catching two or more of these signs at once usually means it's past time for a proper inspection.

Core Services

One Crew, Every Stage of Flood Damage Cleanup

Treating Flood Damage Cleanup as a single continuous job, rather than a series of handoffs, is what keeps timelines shorter and documentation consistent.

Every service below gets the same documentation standard, whether it's a single wet closet or a full commercial loss.

Emergency Extraction, First Hour Priority

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.

Structural Drying, Tracked With Real Numbers

Air movers and dehumidifiers get placed according to psychrometric readings taken at assessment, not a default layout used on every job regardless of conditions.

Category 3 & Sewage Cleanup

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.

Mold Prevention Built Into the Drying Plan

We treat the 48-hour mold window as a deadline for our own drying timeline, not a talking point.

Reconstruction Under the Same Contract

Reconstruction starts from the actual drying documentation, not a fresh guess, which keeps the repair scope accurate.

Content Pack-Out & Cleaning

Specialized content cleaning often saves items that looked like a total loss at first glance, which keeps replacement costs off your claim.

How It Works

Our Flood Damage Cleanup Response, Step by Step

Four steps, no guesswork — here's exactly what happens between your call and a verified-dry structure.

Dispatch Picks Up

Real person, real questions, fast routing — the goal is getting a truck moving within minutes of hanging up.

Technician Maps the Damage

Moisture meters and thermal cameras trace exactly how far water has traveled, including inside walls and under flooring where it's invisible to the eye.

Extraction, Then Drying

Extraction and drying run as one continuous process rather than two separate scheduled visits.

Verified Dry, Then Repaired

Every affected area gets re-tested before we call the job complete — no shortcuts on the sign-off.

Why Choose Us

Why Locals Call Aqua Guard Water Damage First

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.

Licensed & Insured

We'll show you the credentials before we show you the invoice, if that's what puts you at ease.

Fast Local Dispatch

A nearby crew isn't a slogan — it's the gap between drying equipment running in an hour versus half a day.

Upfront Flat-Rate Pricing

We'd rather have the pricing conversation upfront than after the job's already underway.

Backed by a Real Guarantee

A guarantee only counts if it's backed by a second moisture reading, not just good intentions.

The Aqua Guard Water Damage Promise

Every job closes with documented moisture verification, because a promise without data behind it isn't much of a promise.

This isn't marketing copy — it's the actual checklist our crews sign off against before a job is marked complete.

Renee A., Kelso
★★★★★

"They found mold starting behind our baseboards before it spread and handled containment properly instead of painting over it like a previous company tried."

Owen D., Kelso
★★★★★

"The sewage backup in our basement bathroom got the full PPE-and-disinfection treatment, and they walked me through exactly why certain materials had to go."

Fatima J., Kelso
★★★★★

"Fast response and clear pricing, and they handled the back-and-forth with my insurance adjuster directly, which saved me a genuinely stressful week."

Lucas P., Kelso
★★★★★

"We had a slow leak for weeks without noticing, and thermal imaging found moisture in a spot we never would have checked ourselves."

Grace T., Kelso
★★★★★

"They sectioned off the wet area instead of shutting down the whole office during drying, which kept us operating almost normally."

Nathaniel W., Kelso
★★★★★

"The technician explained exactly which boards needed to go and which tested dry enough to keep, so we didn't overpay for the repair."

Bianca H., Kelso
★★★★★

"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., Kelso
★★★★★

"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., Kelso
★★★★★

"A dishwasher supply line failed while we were on vacation and came home to a soaked kitchen floor. They handled the extraction, drying, and coordination with our property manager without us having to fly back early."

FAQ

Questions We Hear Most Often

How fast can a Flood Damage Cleanup technician arrive in Kelso, WA?▼
Crews staged inside Kelso typically reach an active water loss in under an hour, since trucks aren't dispatched from a distant office.
Do you provide upfront pricing?▼
We quote upfront based on the assessment, and that number is what you pay regardless of how long drying takes.
What emergency services do you offer?▼
One call gets you extraction, drying, contaminated water cleanup, and the reconstruction that follows, coordinated by one crew.
Do you work with insurance companies directly?▼
We provide the documentation adjusters expect and are glad to communicate with your insurance company on your behalf.
How is contaminated water classified?▼
Water gets classified on arrival using IICRC S500 guidelines, which determines whether standard extraction or full contamination handling applies.
How long does drying usually take?▼
Most residential drying cycles run three to five days, confirmed with daily moisture readings rather than a fixed calendar guess.
Will drywall or flooring need to come out?▼
Only where materials can't be safely dried and sanitized — the goal is saving 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 during the standard drying process, especially past the 48-hour mark.
Are you available outside normal business hours?▼
Emergencies are handled around the clock — the same crew structure answering at 2pm answers at 2am.
What should I do while waiting for the crew?▼
Turn off the water supply if you can safely reach it, and avoid rooms with standing water near electrical panels or outlets.
Do you handle commercial properties?▼
Yes, we service both residential and commercial jobs, scaling equipment to the size of the loss.
Is it worth calling about a small leak?▼
What looks minor on the surface can mean saturated material behind a wall that only a moisture meter will actually catch.
What information should I have ready when I call?▼
It helps to know roughly where the water's coming from and whether it looks clean or contaminated, though we'll walk you through it if you're not sure.
Do you guarantee your drying results?▼
Yes — if moisture readings don't hit a safe standard on schedule, we keep equipment running at no extra charge until they do, verified with a second reading before we close the job.
Can I stay in my home during the drying process?▼
In most cases yes, especially if the affected area can be isolated from the rest of the living space, though we'll walk you through any air quality considerations specific to your situation.
