A washing machine hose lets go at 2am and suddenly your Clawson laundry room is underwater — that's the exact moment our dispatch line is built for, with a technician routed before you've finished mopping the first puddle.

IICRC-certified technicians on every truck
Aqua Guard Water Damage didn't parachute into Clawson 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 Clawson 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.
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.
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 smell that gets stronger after rain is a strong hint that groundwater or a foundation crack is letting moisture in during wet weather.
A hollow sound from tile that used to sound solid usually means the mortar bed lost adhesion from sustained moisture underneath.
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.
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.
If more than one of these sounds familiar, it's worth a professional moisture check sooner rather than later.
We don't split Structural Drying 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.
Every service below gets the same documentation standard, whether it's a single wet closet or a full commercial loss.
Moisture meters classify the water as Category 1, 2, or 3 on arrival, which determines whether it's a straightforward extraction or a full contamination protocol.
We don't call a structure dry based on a visual check — the moisture meter has the final say before equipment comes down.
Blackwater intrusions call for full PPE, controlled removal of porous materials that can't be sanitized, and hospital-grade disinfection before any reconstruction starts.
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 starts from the actual drying documentation, not a fresh guess, which keeps the repair scope accurate.
Specialized content cleaning often saves items that looked like a total loss at first glance, which keeps replacement costs off your claim.
This is the same sequence every job follows, whether it's a single flooded room or a full commercial loss.
Dispatch gathers just enough detail to load the right equipment before the truck leaves the lot.
Skipping or rushing this step is how hidden moisture pockets turn into a mold problem months down the line.
Standing water comes out first with commercial extraction equipment, then air movers and dehumidifiers go to work based on the readings just taken.
Every affected area gets re-tested before we call the job complete — no shortcuts on the sign-off.
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.
Every technician carries IICRC certification, and every crew works fully insured — documentation available whenever you want it.
Shorter drive times matter most in the first hour after a loss, which is exactly when local staging pays off.
We'd rather have the pricing conversation upfront than after the job's already underway.
A guarantee only counts if it's backed by a second moisture reading, not just good intentions.
Every job closes with documented moisture verification, because a promise without data behind it isn't much of a promise.
Technicians aren't rewarded for closing jobs quickly, which keeps the incentive pointed at actually finishing the drying right.
Call +1-844-578-1604Aqua Guard Water Damage routes crews across Clawson and its surrounding zip codes, including 48017, so response times hold steady no matter which side of town the call comes from.
We track call patterns by zip code across Clawson to keep crew staffing matched to where emergencies actually happen.
"I've dealt with contractors before who talk a big game and disappear. The crew here in Clawson actually showed up on time and stayed in touch through the whole drying process."
Renee A., Clawson"They found mold starting behind our baseboards before it spread and handled containment properly instead of painting over it like a previous company tried."
Owen D., Clawson"The sewage backup in our basement bathroom got the full PPE-and-disinfection treatment, and they walked me through exactly why certain materials had to go."
Fatima J., Clawson"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., Clawson"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., Clawson"Our office flooded overnight and industrial equipment was already running before our staff arrived for the morning shift."
Nathaniel W., Clawson"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., Clawson"Storm runoff got into our crawl space and the smell alone told us something was wrong. They found a failed vapor barrier and fixed the actual cause during the same visit."
Derek S., Clawson"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., Clawson"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., Clawson
