Who We Are

Licensed, Local, and Ready 24/7

Our Cortez technicians hold IICRC water restoration certifications and carry that training into every job, from a Category 1 clean-water leak to a Category 3 sewage backup. We're not a call center routing you to a random subcontractor; we're the crew that shows up.

Every technician on our Cortez 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 invest in ongoing training as drying standards and equipment evolve, rather than treating a technician's initial certification as the finish line.

Problem Awareness

Signs You Need Burst Pipe Cleanup Right Now

Water Stains or Discoloration

Yellow-brown rings on your ceiling or walls almost always mean water has been sitting behind the surface longer than you think, and the drywall paper backing is likely already feeding mold growth. Waiting to see if the stain spreads only gives moisture more time to travel further into the structure.

Musty Odor That Won't Air Out

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.

Warped or Buckling Flooring

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.

Rising Water Bill With No Clear Cause

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.

Peeling Paint or Bubbling Wallpaper

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.

Visible Mold Growth

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 Core Services

Full-Service Burst Pipe Cleanup, Start to Finish

We treat Burst Pipe Cleanup as one continuous job rather than a series of handoffs — the crew that extracts the water is accountable for the drying results, and the drying results determine what reconstruction is actually needed.

Emergency Water Extraction

Standing water gets removed with commercial extraction equipment first, then we run moisture readings across every affected surface so the drying plan targets what's actually still wet, not what looks dry on the surface.

Structural Drying & Dehumidification

Equipment placement isn't guesswork; it's calculated from psychrometric readings taken at the start of the job and adjusted daily as conditions change.

Sewage & Contaminated Water Cleanup

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.

Mold Prevention & Remediation

Because mold can establish in as little as 48 hours, our drying timeline is built around beating that window rather than treating mold prevention as an afterthought.

Reconstruction & Repairs

Once the structure tests dry, our reconstruction team handles drywall, insulation, flooring, and trim so you're not managing a second contractor after the restoration crew leaves.

Content Cleaning & Pack-Out

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.

Our Process

How Our Burst Pipe Cleanup Response Works

Call Dispatch

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.

Rapid On-Site Assessment

The assessment sets the entire plan — skipping it or rushing it is how jobs end up with hidden moisture pockets months later.

Extraction & Drying

Standing water comes out first with truck-mount equipment, then air movers and dehumidifiers go to work based on the psychrometric numbers we recorded.

Verification & Repairs

We re-test every affected area before calling a job complete, then coordinate repairs so you're not left with an open punch list.

Why Choose Us

What Makes Aqua Guard Water Damage Different

Licensed & Insured

Every technician carries IICRC certification and our crews are fully insured for your protection on every job.

Fast Local Dispatch

A crew close by isn't a marketing line — it's the difference between drying equipment running in an hour versus waiting half a day.

Upfront Flat-Rate Pricing

We'd rather explain the cost clearly upfront than have that conversation after the job is already underway.

Satisfaction Guarantee

We stand behind every job with a documented re-inspection before we consider the work complete.

The Aqua Guard Water Damage Guarantee

Every job closes with documented moisture verification, because a guarantee that isn't backed by data isn't much of a guarantee.

Our technicians don't get paid faster by closing jobs early, which keeps the incentive aligned with actually finishing the drying properly.

Customer Reviews

What Our Customers Say

★★★★★

"I called in a panic at 11pm and someone actually picked up. The tech here in Cortez had air movers set up before midnight and explained exactly what they were doing and why."

James R., Cortez
★★★★★

"They caught mold starting behind our drywall before it spread and contained it properly instead of just painting over the problem like a previous contractor did."

Denise M., Cortez
★★★★★

"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., Cortez
★★★★★

"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., Cortez
★★★★★

"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., Cortez
★★★★★

"Our commercial unit flooded overnight and they had industrial equipment running before our staff arrived for the morning shift."

Angela F., Cortez
★★★★★

"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., Cortez
★★★★★

"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."

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast can a Burst Pipe Cleanup technician arrive in Cortez, CO?
Average arrival time in Cortez is well under 60 minutes for active emergencies, though exact timing depends on traffic and current call volume.
What's the difference between clean water and gray water damage?
Category 1 water is sanitary at the source, while Category 2 water has picked up detergents, food particles, or other contaminants that call for more careful handling during extraction.
Do you move or store damaged belongings during the drying process?
We separate and stage contents away from the wet zone during extraction and drying, then help coordinate cleaning for anything that can be salvaged.
What information should I have ready when I call?
It helps to know roughly where the water is coming from, how long it's been an issue, and whether the water looks clean or contaminated, though we can walk you through it if you're not sure.
Do you provide upfront pricing?
We quote upfront based on the assessment, and that quoted number is what you pay regardless of how long drying takes.
What emergency services are available?
Our emergency line covers extraction, drying, contaminated water cleanup, and the reconstruction that follows, all coordinated by one crew.
Do you work directly with insurance companies?
We provide the documentation adjusters expect, including moisture readings and photo evidence, and we're happy to speak with your insurance company directly.
How do you classify contaminated water?
Water gets classified on arrival using IICRC S500 guidelines, which determines whether standard extraction or full contamination protocols apply.
How long does structural drying typically take?
Drying time depends on the materials affected and how long they were wet, but we track it with daily moisture logs instead of estimating blindly.
Will you need to remove drywall or flooring?
We remove only what moisture readings and contamination levels require, not as a default step, to keep your repair costs down.
Can you help prevent mold after a leak?
Mold prevention is built into our drying protocol, not sold as an add-on, since materials wet more than two days are at real risk.
Do you offer service outside normal business hours?
Our dispatch line runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays, because water damage doesn't wait for business hours.
What should I do while waiting for the crew to arrive?
If it's safe, shut off the water source, move valuables to a dry area, and avoid using electrical outlets near standing water until we arrive.
Do you handle commercial properties?
Commercial water damage gets the same extraction and drying protocol as residential work, scaled up with larger equipment as needed.
Is a small leak worth calling about?
Yes — what looks minor on the surface can mean saturated material behind a wall that only a moisture meter will catch.
