Who We Are

The Team Behind the Truck

We run our Cortez 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 Cortez estimates reflect actual regional labor and material costs, not a national average that leaves you either overpaying or underinsured.

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.

Worth a Second Look

Signs Your Property Needs Water Damage Repair

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

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 Basement That Smells Different Than It Used To

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.

Flooring That Feels Different Underfoot

A hollow sound from tile that used to sound solid usually means the mortar bed lost adhesion from sustained moisture underneath.

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

Bubbling near a window frame frequently traces back to a failed seal letting water in gradually.

Any Visible Mold, Even a Small Patch

Dark spotting around grout lines or window frames is frequently the first visible sign of a developing moisture problem.

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 Water Damage Repair

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.

Emergency Extraction, First Hour Priority

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.

Structural Drying, Tracked With Real Numbers

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.'

Category 3 & Sewage Cleanup

Our sewage cleanup protocol follows IICRC S500 guidelines start to finish, including isolation of the affected zone and disposal documentation.

Mold Prevention Built Into the Drying Plan

Antimicrobial treatment on studs, subfloor, and other porous surfaces happens during the drying phase, especially anywhere that stayed wet more than 48 hours.

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

Furniture, electronics, and documents get assessed on-site, with salvageable items cleaned and stored while the space dries.

How It Works

Our Water Damage Repair 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

Photo and moisture documentation happens before any equipment gets touched, which protects your insurance claim later.

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

What Sets Aqua Guard Water Damage Apart

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.

Licensed & Insured

Every technician carries IICRC certification, and every crew works fully insured — documentation available whenever you want it.

Fast Local Dispatch

Regionally staged trucks mean a crew often arrives before a national chain's call center finishes the intake questionnaire.

Upfront Flat-Rate Pricing

You get a written estimate before equipment turns on, not a surprise invoice after the fact.

Backed by a Real Guarantee

If a drying target isn't hit on schedule, equipment stays on-site at no extra charge until the readings confirm it's dry.

The Aqua Guard Water Damage Promise

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.

The standard doesn't change based on job size — a single bathroom flood gets the same sign-off criteria as a full commercial loss.

What Customers Tell Us Afterward

★★★★★

"What stood out was how calm the technician stayed while explaining a genuinely stressful situation — that mattered more than I expected."

Renee A., Cortez
★★★★★

"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., Cortez
★★★★★

"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., Cortez
★★★★★

"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., Cortez
★★★★★

"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., Cortez
★★★★★

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

Nathaniel W., Cortez
★★★★★

"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., Cortez
★★★★★

"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., Cortez
★★★★★

"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., Cortez
★★★★★

"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., Cortez
FAQ

Questions We Hear Most Often

How fast can a Water Damage Repair technician arrive in Cortez, FL?▼
Crews staged inside Cortez 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?▼
Yes, we document every job with photos and moisture logs formatted for insurance claims and can speak with your adjuster directly.
How is contaminated water classified?▼
We follow IICRC standards: Category 1 is clean, Category 2 is gray water with some contamination, and Category 3 is black or sewage water requiring full protocols.
How long does drying usually take?▼
Timing depends on the materials affected and how long they stayed wet, tracked daily with moisture logs instead of an estimate.
Will drywall or flooring need to come out?▼
We remove only what the moisture readings and contamination level require, not as a default step, to keep repair costs down.
Can you help prevent mold after a leak?▼
Mold prevention is built into our drying protocol, not sold separately, since anything wet more than two days carries real risk.
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?▼
A small leak left alone is exactly how hidden mold problems start, so it's worth a moisture check even if the visible damage looks minor.
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?▼
Every job closes with a documented re-inspection, and if the numbers aren't where they need to be, the equipment stays in place at our cost.
Can I stay in my home during the drying process?▼
It depends on the extent of the damage and whether contamination is involved, but many residential jobs allow the household to stay while drying equipment runs.
