Ankeny sits on a mix of older plumbing and newer builds, and our crew has pulled water out of both, which is why the truck that shows up already has the right extraction head for your situation.

IICRC-certified technicians on every truck
We run our Ankeny operation on IICRC-certified technicians and commercial-grade equipment, not a subcontractor list we pull from when the phone rings.
Local pricing means local pricing — our Ankeny estimates reflect actual regional labor and material costs, not a national average that leaves you either overpaying or underinsured.
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.
Not every water problem announces itself with a flooded floor. Most start quietly, and catching one of these signs early is usually the difference between a same-day fix and a much bigger repair.
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 musty note that wasn't there a season ago usually means microbial growth has started somewhere behind a wall or under flooring, well before you can see anything.
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.
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.
Every service below gets the same documentation standard, whether it's a single wet closet or a full commercial loss.
The first hour after a water loss decides how much of the structure is salvageable, which is why extraction is always the first truck-mount job, not an afterthought behind paperwork.
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.
Reconstruction starts from the actual drying documentation, not a fresh guess, which keeps the repair scope accurate.
Furniture, electronics, and documents get assessed on-site, with salvageable items cleaned and stored while the space dries.
Four steps, no guesswork — here's exactly what happens between your call and a verified-dry structure.
A live dispatcher, not a voicemail tree, takes your call and asks a few quick questions about the source and severity so the crew rolls out prepared.
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.
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.
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.
Shorter drive times matter most in the first hour after a loss, which is exactly when local staging pays off.
You get a written estimate before equipment turns on, not a surprise invoice after the fact.
Every job closes with a documented re-inspection, not a handshake and an invoice.
Every job closes with documented moisture verification, because a promise without data behind it isn't much of a promise.
This isn't marketing copy — it's the actual checklist our crews sign off against before a job is marked complete.
Call +1-844-578-1604Our Ankeny service radius covers 50023 50021, with trucks positioned to reach any address quickly, not just the neighborhoods closest to a single office.
Coverage extends past the city core into the surrounding Ankeny suburbs, so an outlying address isn't treated as a second-tier call.
"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 Ankeny had it extracted and drying equipment running before I finished my coffee."
Renee A., Ankeny"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., Ankeny"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., Ankeny"The reconstruction crew matched our original flooring almost exactly after the repair — you'd never guess there was ever a leak."
Lucas P., Ankeny"The thermal scan caught damage behind a cabinet that could have turned into a much bigger mold problem if it went unnoticed."
Grace T., Ankeny"They sectioned off the wet area instead of shutting down the whole office during drying, which kept us operating almost normally."
Nathaniel W., Ankeny"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., Ankeny"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., Ankeny"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., Ankeny"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., Ankeny
