Who We Are

Licensed, Local, and Ready 24/7

Aqua Guard Water Damage has spent years pulling water out of Cotton basements, crawl spaces, and commercial units, and that hands-on history shows in how fast our crews assess a loss. We know which Cotton 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 Cotton, 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.

Problem Awareness

Signs You Need Flood Damage Repair Right Now

Water Stains or Discoloration

Ceiling stains near a bathroom or kitchen almost always trace back to a plumbing failure rather than a roof leak, which means the source is often closer and easier to fix than homeowners assume.

Musty Odor That Won't Air Out

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.

Warped or Buckling Flooring

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.

Rising Water Bill With No Clear Cause

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.

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

Any visible mold, even a small patch in a corner or along a baseboard, means conditions behind that surface have supported growth for a while and the moisture source needs to be found, not just the mold wiped away.

Our Core Services

Full-Service Flood Damage Repair, Start to Finish

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

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.

Structural Drying & Dehumidification

Equipment placement isn't guesswork; it's calculated from psychrometric readings taken at the start of the job and adjusted daily as conditions change.

Sewage & Contaminated Water Cleanup

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.

Mold Prevention & Remediation

Because mold can establish in as little as 48 hours, our drying timeline is built around beating that window rather than treating mold prevention as an afterthought.

Reconstruction & Repairs

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.

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

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.

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

Extraction and drying run as one continuous process rather than two separate visits, which keeps the timeline tighter.

Verification & Repairs

Once moisture readings confirm the structure is dry, we hand you documentation and move into any needed reconstruction.

Why Choose Us

What Makes Aqua Guard Water Damage Different

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

Flat-rate pricing means the number we quote is the number you pay, regardless of how long the drying cycle takes.

Satisfaction Guarantee

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 Don't Leave Until the Job Is Verified Dry

If our moisture readings don't hit a safe drying standard on schedule, we keep equipment on site at no additional cost until they do — that's the standard we hold ourselves to.

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.

Customer Reviews

What Our Customers Say

★★★★★

"A pipe burst behind our water heater and the crew here in Cotton 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., Cotton
★★★★★

"Our basement took on water during a storm and the crew classified it, extracted it, and had dehumidifiers running the same afternoon. The final invoice matched the upfront quote exactly."

Denise M., Cotton
★★★★★

"They didn't cut corners on the contaminated water cleanup even though it would have been faster to skip the sanitization step — that mattered to me given we have young kids in the house."

Marcus T., Cotton
★★★★★

"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., Cotton
★★★★★

"Drying logs were shared with us daily so we always knew exactly where the job stood, not just a vague 'it's drying' update."

Carlos V., Cotton
★★★★★

"They minimized business disruption by sectioning off the wet area instead of shutting down the whole space during drying."

Angela F., Cotton
★★★★★

"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., Cotton
★★★★★

"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."

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast can a Flood Damage Repair technician arrive in Cotton, MN?▼
Average arrival time in Cotton is well under 60 minutes for active emergencies, though exact timing depends on traffic and current call volume.
What's the difference between clean water and gray water damage?▼
Clean water (Category 1) comes from a sanitary source like a supply line; gray water (Category 2) carries some contamination, such as from a washing machine or dishwasher discharge.
Do you move or store damaged belongings during the drying process?▼
Yes, we can relocate salvageable contents out of the affected area so drying equipment has clear access and your belongings aren't sitting in a wet environment.
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?▼
We handle 24/7 emergency water extraction, structural drying, sewage cleanup, mold prevention, and reconstruction under one call.
Do you work directly with insurance companies?▼
We provide the documentation adjusters expect, including moisture readings and photo evidence, and we're happy to speak with your insurance company directly.
How do you classify contaminated water?▼
Water gets classified on arrival using IICRC S500 guidelines, which determines whether standard extraction or full contamination protocols apply.
How long does structural drying typically take?▼
Most residential drying cycles run three to five days, verified with daily moisture readings rather than a fixed calendar guess.
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?▼
If it's safe, shut off the water source, move valuables to a dry area, and avoid using electrical outlets near standing water until we arrive.
Do you handle commercial properties?▼
Commercial water damage gets the same extraction and drying protocol as residential work, scaled up with larger equipment as needed.
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.
