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

Crews staged inside Corte Madera limits
Written estimate, no hidden line items
IICRC-certified technicians on every truck
Ask a Corte Madera homeowner who's dealt with a burst pipe at 3am and, if they called us, they'll tell you the same thing: someone answered, and someone showed up. That's the whole model.
Our Corte Madera dispatch desk is staffed around the clock by people, not an automated queue, which matters most at exactly the hour you're calling.
Ongoing training matters more to us than a certificate on the wall — drying standards and equipment change, and our crews train against the current standard, not the one from five years ago.
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.
A sudden increase in usage with no change in household habits is often the earliest sign of a slab leak, well before any visible water shows up.
Bubbling near a window frame frequently traces back to a failed seal letting water in gradually.
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.
We don't split Emergency Water Damage into separate vendors for extraction, drying, and repair — one crew stays accountable for the whole job, from the first wet-vac pass to the final coat of paint.
The equipment on our trucks scales up or down to the job, but the process — assess, extract, dry, verify, repair — doesn't change.
We treat extraction speed as the single biggest variable we control — every additional hour of standing water raises the odds of secondary damage.
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.'
Our sewage cleanup protocol follows IICRC S500 guidelines start to finish, including isolation of the affected zone and disposal documentation.
Antimicrobial treatment on studs, subfloor, and other porous surfaces happens during the drying phase, especially anywhere that stayed wet more than 48 hours.
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.
Furniture, electronics, and documents get assessed on-site, with salvageable items cleaned and stored while the space dries.
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.
Standing water comes out first with commercial extraction equipment, then air movers and dehumidifiers go to work based on the readings just taken.
Moisture readings confirm the structure meets a safe drying standard before we hand over documentation and move into reconstruction.
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.
Every job closes with a documented re-inspection, not a handshake and an invoice.
If our readings don't hit a safe drying standard on schedule, equipment stays running at our cost until they do — that's the bar we hold ourselves to.
Technicians aren't rewarded for closing jobs quickly, which keeps the incentive pointed at actually finishing the drying right.

Coverage extends past the city core into the surrounding Corte Madera 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 Corte Madera had it extracted and drying equipment running before I finished my coffee."
Renee A., Corte Madera"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., Corte Madera"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., Corte Madera"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., Corte Madera"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., Corte Madera"Working a commercial job around our business hours could have been a scheduling nightmare, but they made it simple."
Nathaniel W., Corte Madera"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., Corte Madera"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., Corte Madera"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., Corte Madera"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., Corte Madera
