There's a specific kind of dread that comes with standing water spreading across a Palmetto living room floor. We're built to shorten that window between the panic and the fix.

Crews staged inside Palmetto limits
Written estimate, no hidden line items
IICRC-certified technicians on every truck
We run our Palmetto operation on IICRC-certified technicians and commercial-grade equipment, not a subcontractor list we pull from when the phone rings.
Our Palmetto dispatch desk is staffed around the clock by people, not an automated queue, which matters most at exactly the hour you're calling.
Homeowners dealing with a flood are stressed enough without technical jargon, so we train our crews to explain the process in plain terms from the first phone call.
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.
Fresh paint over an old stain can hide the problem visually for a month or two, right up until the drywall paper backing gives out.
If a dehumidifier and open windows don't clear the smell within a day or two, there's an active moisture source that ventilation alone won't solve.
Flooring that shifts slightly when you walk on it, even subtly, is worth a moisture reading before it gets worse.
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.
Bubbling near a window frame frequently traces back to a failed seal letting water in gradually.
Mold that returns after a bleach cleaning is a sign the moisture source behind it was never actually addressed.
Catching two or more of these signs at once usually means it's past time for a proper inspection.
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.
The equipment on our trucks scales up or down to the job, but the process — assess, extract, dry, verify, repair — doesn't change.
We treat extraction speed as the single biggest variable we control — every additional hour of standing water raises the odds of secondary damage.
We don't call a structure dry based on a visual check — the moisture meter has the final say before equipment comes down.
Our sewage cleanup protocol follows IICRC S500 guidelines start to finish, including isolation of the affected zone and disposal documentation.
If mold has already started, containment with negative air pressure goes up before any demolition begins, so spores don't travel to unaffected rooms.
One contract from extraction through reconstruction means you're not managing two separate companies and two separate invoices.
Furniture, electronics, and documents get assessed on-site, with salvageable items cleaned and stored while the space dries.
This is the same sequence every job follows, whether it's a single flooded room or a full commercial loss.
Real person, real questions, fast routing — the goal is getting a truck moving within minutes of hanging up.
Photo and moisture documentation happens before any equipment gets touched, which protects your insurance claim later.
Standing water comes out first with commercial extraction equipment, then air movers and dehumidifiers go to work based on the readings just taken.
Final verification is where corners often get cut industry-wide; we treat it as mandatory.
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.
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.
A nearby crew isn't a slogan — it's the gap between drying equipment running in an hour versus half a day.
You get a written estimate before equipment turns on, not a surprise invoice after the fact.
A guarantee only counts if it's backed by a second moisture reading, not just good intentions.
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.
This isn't marketing copy — it's the actual checklist our crews sign off against before a job is marked complete.

"Our water heater gave out overnight and by the time I found the pool of water it had already crept under the cabinets. The crew here in Palmetto had it extracted and drying equipment running before I finished my coffee."
Renee A., Palmetto"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., Palmetto"They didn't cut corners on the sanitization step even though it clearly slowed them down — with two kids in the house, that mattered to us."
Fatima J., Palmetto"Every cost question got a straight answer, even the awkward ones, which is more than I can say for the last two contractors I dealt with."
Lucas P., Palmetto"The thermal scan caught damage behind a cabinet that could have turned into a much bigger mold problem if it went unnoticed."
Grace T., Palmetto"Working a commercial job around our business hours could have been a scheduling nightmare, but they made it simple."
Nathaniel W., Palmetto"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., Palmetto"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., Palmetto"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., Palmetto"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., Palmetto
