Aqua Guard Water Damage built its Cotati 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 Cotati 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.
A stain that keeps reappearing after you paint over it is a signal, not a coincidence — the moisture source behind the wall hasn't been addressed and needs a moisture meter reading, not a fresh coat of paint. Repainting without finding the source just hides the problem for a few more weeks.
A persistent musty smell in a basement or bathroom usually means microbial growth has already started somewhere you can't see, often inside wall cavities or under flooring. Air fresheners will mask it temporarily but won't touch the actual source.
Tile that suddenly sounds hollow when you tap it often means the mortar bed underneath has been sitting in moisture long enough to lose adhesion. That hollow sound rarely resolves on its own.
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.
Paint that bubbles or peels away from a wall, especially near baseboards, usually means moisture is pushing through from behind rather than a simple application problem.
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 Burst Pipe 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.
We prioritize extraction speed above everything else in the first hour, because every additional hour standing water sits raises the odds of secondary damage to subfloors and framing.
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.
Once structural drying is underway, we apply antimicrobial treatments to studs, subfloor, and other porous surfaces to stop mold colonies before they establish, especially in areas that stayed wet more than 48 hours.
We handle everything from replacing water-damaged drywall and insulation to refinishing floors, so the property is restored to pre-loss condition under one contract instead of three.
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.
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.
We set drying equipment based on the specific moisture readings taken during assessment, not a generic placement pattern.
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.
Local staging means shorter drive times, which matters most in the first hour after a water loss.
Flat-rate pricing means the number we quote is the number you pay, regardless of how long the drying cycle takes.
If a drying target isn't met on the first pass, we extend equipment placement at no extra charge until moisture readings confirm the structure is dry.
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.

"A pipe burst behind our water heater and the crew here in Cotati had extraction units running within 40 minutes of my call. They walked me through the moisture readings every day until it was fully dry."
James R., Cotati"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., Cotati"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., Cotati"The reconstruction crew matched our original flooring almost perfectly after the water damage repair — you'd never know there was a leak."
Priya S., Cotati"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., Cotati"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., Cotati"A cracked supply line under the kitchen sink went unnoticed for days and by the time we called, the subfloor was saturated. The crew pulled the damaged material and had drying equipment running within the hour."
Tyrone B., Cotati"They explained the sump discharge issue causing our crawl space flooding in plain terms and fixed it as part of the same visit instead of scheduling a separate appointment."
Wendy K., Cotati
