When a pipe bursts or a storm backs up your drain lines, waiting on hold is the last thing you can afford. Our Winona-based crews carry moisture meters and truck-mount extraction equipment on every rig so the drying process starts the moment we knock on your door.

Aqua Guard Water Damage has spent years pulling water out of Winona basements, crawl spaces, and commercial units, and that hands-on history shows in how fast our crews assess a loss. We know which Winona 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.
Every technician on our Winona roster is background-checked, licensed, and insured, and every truck is stocked with commercial-grade air movers, low-grain-refrigerant dehumidifiers, and antimicrobial treatment for contaminated water intrusion.
We invest in ongoing training as drying standards and equipment evolve, rather than treating a technician's initial certification as the finish line.
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 odors that seem to follow you from room to room often mean the HVAC system is circulating spores from a hidden wet area, which spreads the problem rather than solving it.
Carpet that stays damp or squishy days after you last noticed water is holding moisture against the subfloor, which is exactly the condition that lets mold take hold underneath.
An unexplained jump in your water bill is frequently the first sign of a slab leak or a failing supply line long before any visible water appears. Catching it at this stage is far cheaper than waiting for a visible flood.
Bubbling near a window or exterior wall frequently points to a flashing or seal failure letting water into the wall cavity a little at a time.
Mold that returns after cleaning with bleach is a sign the underlying moisture source was never addressed, since surface cleaning does nothing for saturated material behind the wall.
Our Mold Remediation 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.
Standing water gets removed with commercial extraction equipment first, then we run moisture readings across every affected surface so the drying plan targets what's actually still wet, not what looks dry on the surface.
We place industrial air movers and low-grain-refrigerant dehumidifiers based on psychrometric readings, then log moisture levels daily until every affected material returns to a safe drying standard.
Category 3 blackwater intrusions require full PPE, controlled demolition of porous materials that can't be sanitized, and hospital-grade antimicrobial treatment before reconstruction begins.
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.
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.
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.
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.
We document the loss with photos and moisture readings before touching anything, which also protects your insurance claim.
Extraction and drying run as one continuous process rather than two separate visits, which keeps the timeline tighter.
We re-test every affected area before calling a job complete, then coordinate repairs so you're not left with an open punch list.
We operate under proper licensing and insurance in every market we serve, with documentation available on request.
Local staging means shorter drive times, which matters most in the first hour after a water loss.
You get a written estimate before work begins, not a surprise invoice after the drying equipment is already running.
A guarantee only means something if it's backed by a second set of moisture readings, not just a handshake at the end of the visit.
Every job closes with documented moisture verification, because a guarantee that isn't backed by data isn't much of a guarantee.
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.

We track call volume by zip code across Winona to keep crew staffing matched to where emergencies actually happen most often.
"The team here in Winona treated our emergency like it actually mattered, not like another ticket in a queue, and the drying documentation they left us was thorough enough to hand straight to our insurer."
James R., Winona"What impressed me most was the daily moisture log — I could actually see the numbers improving instead of just being told to trust the process."
Denise M., Winona"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., Winona"Fast response, clear pricing, and they coordinated directly with my insurance adjuster which saved me a huge headache during a stressful week."
Priya S., Winona"The thermal imaging inspection found damage behind a cabinet we never would have thought to check, which probably saved us from a much bigger mold problem down the road."
Carlos V., Winona"Coordinating a commercial job around our operating hours could have been a nightmare, but their crew worked around our schedule without us having to ask twice."
Angela F., Winona"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., Winona"Storm runoff got into our crawl space and the smell alone told us something was wrong. The crew found the vapor barrier had failed and fixed the actual cause, not just the symptom."
Wendy K., Winona
