From a slow leak behind the drywall to a full basement flood, Greenbrae property owners call Aqua Guard Water Damage because we show up with the right gear the first time — no guesswork, no upsells at the door.

Aqua Guard Water Damage built its Greenbrae 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.
We answer our own phones around the clock in Greenbrae, which means the person who books your appointment already knows our schedule, our crew availability, and how fast we can realistically get a truck to your address.
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.
Musty odors that seem to follow you from room to room often mean the HVAC system is circulating spores from a hidden wet area, which spreads the problem rather than solving it.
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.
If your usage climbs but nothing in your household routine changed, a hidden leak behind a wall or under the foundation is worth investigating immediately, since slab leaks rarely announce themselves any other way.
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.
Mold that returns after cleaning with bleach is a sign the underlying moisture source was never addressed, since surface cleaning does nothing for saturated material behind the wall.
Our Mold Remediation 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.
We place industrial air movers and low-grain-refrigerant dehumidifiers based on psychrometric readings, then log moisture levels daily until every affected material returns to a safe drying standard.
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.
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.
You call +1-844-234-5373 and speak with a live dispatcher, not a voicemail system — we ask a few quick questions about the source and severity so the crew arrives prepared.
The assessment sets the entire plan — skipping it or rushing it is how jobs end up with hidden moisture pockets months later.
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.
Insurance and licensing aren't just paperwork here — they're what let us stand behind the work if something doesn't go as planned.
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.
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.
If our moisture readings don't hit a safe drying standard on schedule, we keep equipment on site at no additional cost until they do — that's the standard we hold ourselves to.
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.
Call +1-844-234-5373Whether your address falls in 94904 or one of the neighboring zip codes we cover, the same crew and the same response standard applies.
We track call volume by zip code across Greenbrae to keep crew staffing matched to where emergencies actually happen most often.
"A pipe burst behind our water heater and the crew here in Greenbrae 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., Greenbrae"Our basement took on water during a storm and the crew classified it, extracted it, and had dehumidifiers running the same afternoon. The final invoice matched the upfront quote exactly."
Denise M., Greenbrae"Professional from the first phone call to the final walkthrough. They re-tested moisture levels before closing the job instead of just eyeballing it."
Marcus T., Greenbrae"Every question I asked got a straight answer, even the ones about cost, which is rare after dealing with two other contractors who kept dodging the pricing conversation."
Priya S., Greenbrae"Drying logs were shared with us daily so we always knew exactly where the job stood, not just a vague 'it's drying' update."
Carlos V., Greenbrae"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., Greenbrae"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., Greenbrae"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., Greenbrae
