When a pipe bursts or a storm backs up your drain lines, waiting on hold is the last thing you can afford. Our Molalla-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 built its Molalla operation around one standard: arrive fast, document everything with moisture readings and thermal imaging, and communicate the drying plan in plain language before we touch a single wall.
Every technician on our Molalla 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 also carry direct experience working alongside insurance adjusters, so the documentation we generate on day one is already formatted the way most carriers expect to see it.
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.
If opening windows and running a fan doesn't clear the smell within a day, the moisture source is still active and needs professional extraction, not just ventilation. A smell that returns after cleaning is a strong sign the moisture is still present.
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.
Dark spotting in grout lines or around window frames is often the first visible sign of a moisture problem that's been developing for weeks.
Our Flood Damage Cleanup 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.
Our crews arrive with truck-mount extraction units capable of pulling thousands of gallons per hour, using moisture meters to classify the water as Category 1, 2, or 3 before drying even starts.
Equipment placement isn't guesswork; it's calculated from psychrometric readings taken at the start of the job and adjusted daily as conditions change.
Blackwater jobs get treated with extra caution, since porous materials that touched contaminated water almost always need to be removed rather than dried in place.
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.
We inventory and pack out contents that need to leave the affected area during drying, then coordinate their return once the space is verified dry and repairs are complete.
A real person answers, gathers the details of your water loss, and routes the closest available crew immediately.
Technicians arrive with moisture meters and thermal cameras to map exactly how far the water has traveled, including inside walls and under flooring where you can't see it.
Extraction and drying run as one continuous process rather than two separate visits, which keeps the timeline tighter.
Final verification is where a lot of shortcuts get taken industry-wide — we treat it as mandatory, not optional.
Every technician carries IICRC certification and our crews are fully insured for your protection on every job.
Trucks are staged regionally so a crew can typically reach you well before a national chain's call center even finishes your intake form.
We'd rather explain the cost clearly upfront than have that conversation after the job is already underway.
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.

Coverage isn't limited to the city center — our Molalla routes extend out to the surrounding suburbs so outlying addresses aren't treated as an afterthought.
"The team here in Molalla 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., Molalla"They caught mold starting behind our drywall before it spread and contained it properly instead of just painting over the problem like a previous contractor did."
Denise M., Molalla"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., Molalla"The reconstruction crew matched our original flooring almost perfectly after the water damage repair — you'd never know there was a leak."
Priya S., Molalla"We had a slow leak we didn't notice for weeks and the crew found moisture in places we never would have checked using thermal imaging."
Carlos V., Molalla"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., Molalla"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., Molalla"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., Molalla
