Who We Are

The Team Behind the Truck

Aqua Guard Water Damage didn't parachute into West Des Moines 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 West Des Moines 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.

Worth a Second Look

Signs Your Property Needs Water Damage Repair

Water damage rarely starts as a dramatic flood — it usually starts small, and these are the signs worth acting on before the damage spreads further.

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

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.

A Water Bill That Jumped for No Reason

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.

Paint or Wallpaper Lifting Away From the Wall

Bubbling paint near a baseboard or exterior wall usually means moisture is pushing through from behind rather than a simple application defect.

Any Visible Mold, Even a Small Patch

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.

Core Services

Everything a Water Damage Repair Job Needs, Under One Roof

We don't split Water Damage Repair 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.

Emergency Extraction, First Hour Priority

We treat extraction speed as the single biggest variable we control — every additional hour of standing water raises the odds of secondary damage.

Structural Drying, Tracked With Real Numbers

We don't call a structure dry based on a visual check — the moisture meter has the final say before equipment comes down.

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

If mold has already started, containment with negative air pressure goes up before any demolition begins, so spores don't travel to unaffected rooms.

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

This is the same sequence every job follows, whether it's a single flooded room or a full commercial loss.

Dispatch Picks Up

Dispatch gathers just enough detail to load the right equipment before the truck leaves the lot.

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

Why Locals Call Aqua Guard Water Damage First

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.

Licensed & Insured

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.

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

A guarantee only counts if it's backed by a second moisture reading, not just good intentions.

Reviews

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., West Des Moines

★★★★★

"A storm backed water into our finished basement and the crew classified it, extracted it, and had dehumidifiers running that same afternoon. The invoice matched the quote to the dollar."

Owen D., West Des Moines

★★★★★

"Professional from the first call to the final walkthrough, and they re-tested moisture before closing the job instead of eyeballing it."

Fatima J., West Des Moines

★★★★★

"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., West Des Moines

★★★★★

"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., West Des Moines

★★★★★

"Our office flooded overnight and industrial equipment was already running before our staff arrived for the morning shift."

Nathaniel W., West Des Moines

★★★★★

"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., West Des Moines

★★★★★

"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., West Des Moines

★★★★★

"They found the actual source of the leak instead of just drying the surface damage, which saved us from the same problem happening again in a month."

Melissa C., West Des Moines

★★★★★

"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., West Des Moines

FAQ

Questions We Hear Most Often

How fast can a Water Damage Repair technician arrive in West Des Moines, IA?▼

Crews staged inside West Des Moines 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?▼

Our emergency line covers 24/7 water extraction, structural drying, sewage cleanup, mold prevention, and reconstruction under one call.

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?▼

Water gets classified on arrival using IICRC S500 guidelines, which determines whether standard extraction or full contamination handling applies.

How long does drying usually take?▼

Most residential drying cycles run three to five days, confirmed with daily moisture readings rather than a fixed calendar guess.

Will drywall or flooring need to come out?▼

Only where materials can't be safely dried and sanitized — the goal is saving as much of the original structure as possible.

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?▼

If it's safe, shut off the water source, move valuables to a dry area, and stay clear of outlets near standing water until we arrive.

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?▼

Yes — if moisture readings don't hit a safe standard on schedule, we keep equipment running at no extra charge until they do, verified with a second reading before we close the job.

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.
