There's a specific kind of dread that comes with standing water spreading across a Larkspur living room floor. We're built to shorten that window between the panic and the fix.

IICRC-certified technicians on every truck
Aqua Guard Water Damage didn't parachute into Larkspur with a rented truck and a stock script. Our technicians have worked this market long enough to know which neighborhoods sit low, which ones have older cast-iron plumbing, and which zip codes call in during every heavy storm.
Our Larkspur dispatch desk is staffed around the clock by people, not an automated queue, which matters most at exactly the hour you're calling.
We also keep documentation formatted the way insurance adjusters actually want to see it, since most of our jobs end up crossing an adjuster's desk at some point.
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.
Repainting over a recurring ceiling stain treats the symptom, not the leak still feeding it from above or behind the surface. The stain returning is the actual diagnosis.
A musty note that wasn't there a season ago usually means microbial growth has started somewhere behind a wall or under flooring, well before you can see anything.
Hardwood cupping at the edges, laminate lifting at the seams, or carpet that stays spongy days after you last noticed water — all three point to moisture sitting against the subfloor.
The sound of running water when every fixture in the house is off is one of the more reliable early warnings of a hidden leak.
Bubbling paint near a baseboard or exterior wall usually means moisture is pushing through from behind rather than a simple application defect.
Mold that returns after a bleach cleaning is a sign the moisture source behind it was never actually addressed.
Catching two or more of these signs at once usually means it's past time for a proper inspection.
Bouncing between an extraction company, a drying company, and a repair contractor is how small jobs turn into weeks-long headaches — we keep all three under one roof on purpose.
Every service below gets the same documentation standard, whether it's a single wet closet or a full commercial loss.
The first hour after a water loss decides how much of the structure is salvageable, which is why extraction is always the first truck-mount job, not an afterthought behind paperwork.
Daily drying logs track humidity and surface moisture at every checkpoint, giving you documented proof of progress instead of a verbal 'it's getting there.'
Blackwater intrusions call for full PPE, controlled removal of porous materials that can't be sanitized, and hospital-grade disinfection before any reconstruction starts.
If mold has already started, containment with negative air pressure goes up before any demolition begins, so spores don't travel to unaffected rooms.
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.
Dispatch gathers just enough detail to load the right equipment before the truck leaves the lot.
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.
Moisture readings confirm the structure meets a safe drying standard before we hand over documentation and move into reconstruction.
None of these four things matter in isolation — it's the combination of licensing, speed, honest pricing, and a real guarantee that actually changes the outcome of a water emergency.
Every technician carries IICRC certification, and every crew works fully insured — documentation available whenever you want it.
Regionally staged trucks mean a crew often arrives before a national chain's call center finishes the intake questionnaire.
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.
Every job closes with documented moisture verification, because a promise without data behind it isn't much of a promise.
The standard doesn't change based on job size — a single bathroom flood gets the same sign-off criteria as a full commercial loss.
Call +1-844-578-1604Whether your address sits in 80118 or a neighboring zip, the same crew and the same response standard applies.
We track call patterns by zip code across Larkspur to keep crew staffing matched to where emergencies actually happen.
"I've dealt with contractors before who talk a big game and disappear. The crew here in Larkspur actually showed up on time and stayed in touch through the whole drying process."
Renee A., Larkspur"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., Larkspur"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., Larkspur"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., Larkspur"The thermal scan caught damage behind a cabinet that could have turned into a much bigger mold problem if it went unnoticed."
Grace T., Larkspur"They sectioned off the wet area instead of shutting down the whole office during drying, which kept us operating almost normally."
Nathaniel W., Larkspur"A cracked supply line under our kitchen sink went unnoticed for days, and by the time we called, the subfloor was saturated. They only replaced what actually tested wet, not the whole floor."
Bianca H., Larkspur"Storm runoff got into our crawl space and the smell alone told us something was wrong. They found a failed vapor barrier and fixed the actual cause during the same visit."
Derek S., Larkspur"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., Larkspur"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."
Victor N., Larkspur
