A washing machine hose lets go at 2am and suddenly your Chico 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
We run our Chico 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 Chico 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.
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 ring that reappears within weeks of a fresh coat of paint means the moisture source is still active, and it's usually a plumbing line, not a roof issue, especially near bathrooms.
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 shifts slightly when you walk on it, even subtly, is worth a moisture reading before it gets worse.
Catching a hidden leak through the water bill is far cheaper than waiting for it to surface as a flooded room.
Bubbling near a window frame frequently traces back to a failed seal letting water in gradually.
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.
Treating Water Damage Repair as a single continuous job, rather than a series of handoffs, is what keeps timelines shorter and documentation consistent.
The equipment on our trucks scales up or down to the job, but the process — assess, extract, dry, verify, repair — doesn't change.
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.
We don't call a structure dry based on a visual check — the moisture meter has the final say before equipment comes down.
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.
We treat the 48-hour mold window as a deadline for our own drying timeline, not a talking point.
Once moisture readings confirm the structure is dry, the same team that documented and dried the loss hands off directly into drywall, insulation, and flooring repair.
Specialized content cleaning often saves items that looked like a total loss at first glance, which keeps replacement costs off your claim.
This is the same sequence every job follows, whether it's a single flooded room or a full commercial loss.
Real person, real questions, fast routing — the goal is getting a truck moving within minutes of hanging up.
Photo and moisture documentation happens before any equipment gets touched, which protects your insurance claim later.
Extraction and drying run as one continuous process rather than two separate scheduled visits.
Final verification is where corners often get cut industry-wide; we treat it as mandatory.
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.
Licensing and insurance aren't paperwork we keep in a drawer; they're what let us stand behind the work if something doesn't go as planned.
Shorter drive times matter most in the first hour after a loss, which is exactly when local staging pays off.
The number we quote is the number you pay, regardless of how long the drying cycle runs.
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 +1-844-578-1604Our Chico service radius covers 95973 95926 95928 95929 95927 95976, with trucks positioned to reach any address quickly, not just the neighborhoods closest to a single office.
Coverage extends past the city core into the surrounding Chico 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 Chico had it extracted and drying equipment running before I finished my coffee."
Renee A., Chico"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., Chico"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., Chico"Every cost question got a straight answer, even the awkward ones, which is more than I can say for the last two contractors I dealt with."
Lucas P., Chico"Getting a daily drying log meant we always knew where the job stood instead of a vague verbal update."
Grace T., Chico"Our office flooded overnight and industrial equipment was already running before our staff arrived for the morning shift."
Nathaniel W., Chico"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., Chico"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., Chico"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., Chico"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., Chico
