Who We Are

Licensed, Local, and Ready 24/7

Aqua Guard Water Damage built its Hugo 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.

Being local to Hugo means our estimators know the going rate for drywall and flooring replacement in your area, so the quote you get reflects your market instead of a national average that never quite matches your invoice.

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.

Problem Awareness

Signs You Need Water Damage Repair Right Now

Water Stains or Discoloration

Ceiling stains near a bathroom or kitchen almost always trace back to a plumbing failure rather than a roof leak, which means the source is often closer and easier to fix than homeowners assume.

Musty Odor That Won't Air Out

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.

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

Wallpaper that lifts at the seams after being fine for years is often a sign that humidity or a slow leak has changed the moisture level inside that wall.

Visible Mold Growth

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 Core Services

Every Water Damage Repair Solution Under One Roof

Our Water Damage Repair 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.

Emergency Water Extraction

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.

Structural Drying & Dehumidification

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.

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

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.

Reconstruction & Repairs

The same team that documented the damage and dried the structure hands off directly to reconstruction, which keeps the whole timeline shorter and the paperwork simpler.

Content Cleaning & Pack-Out

Specialized cleaning techniques can often save upholstery, electronics, and documents that look like a total loss at first glance, which keeps out-of-pocket replacement costs down.

How Our Water Damage Repair Response Works

Call Dispatch

You call +1-844-578-1604 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.

Rapid On-Site Assessment

We document the loss with photos and moisture readings before touching anything, which also protects your insurance claim.

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

Final verification is where a lot of shortcuts get taken industry-wide — we treat it as mandatory, not optional.

Why Choose Us

What Makes Aqua Guard Water Damage Different

Licensed & Insured

We operate under proper licensing and insurance in every market we serve, with documentation available on request.

Fast Local Dispatch

Local staging means shorter drive times, which matters most in the first hour after a water loss.

Upfront Flat-Rate Pricing

You get a written estimate before work begins, not a surprise invoice after the drying equipment is already running.

Satisfaction Guarantee

A guarantee only means something if it's backed by a second set of moisture readings, not just a handshake at the end of the visit.

We Don't Leave Until the Job Is Verified 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.

Customer Reviews

What Our Customers Say

★★★★★

"A pipe burst behind our water heater and the crew here in Hugo 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., Hugo
★★★★★

"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., Hugo
★★★★★

"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., Hugo
★★★★★

"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., Hugo
★★★★★

"The thermal imaging inspection found damage behind a cabinet we never would have thought to check, which probably saved us from a much bigger mold problem down the road."

Carlos V., Hugo
★★★★★

"They minimized business disruption by sectioning off the wet area instead of shutting down the whole space during drying."

Angela F., Hugo
★★★★★

"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., Hugo
★★★★★

"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."

Wendy K., Hugo
FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast can a Water Damage Repair technician arrive in Hugo, MN?▼
Our Hugo crews typically reach an active water loss in under an hour, since trucks are staged locally rather than dispatched from a distant office.
What's the difference between clean water and gray water damage?▼
Clean water (Category 1) comes from a sanitary source like a supply line; gray water (Category 2) carries some contamination, such as from a washing machine or dishwasher discharge.
Do you move or store damaged belongings during the drying process?▼
Yes, we can relocate salvageable contents out of the affected area so drying equipment has clear access and your belongings aren't sitting in a wet environment.
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?▼
Yes, every job starts with a written flat-rate estimate before any equipment is turned on, so there are no surprise line items later.
What emergency services are available?▼
We handle 24/7 emergency water extraction, structural drying, sewage cleanup, mold prevention, and reconstruction under one call.
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?▼
We follow IICRC standards, classifying water as Category 1 (clean), Category 2 (gray), or Category 3 (black/sewage) before choosing extraction and PPE protocols.
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?▼
Only where materials can't be safely dried and sanitized — our goal is to save as much of the original structure as possible.
Can you help prevent mold after a leak?▼
Yes, antimicrobial treatment is applied to affected porous materials as part of the standard drying process, especially after 48 hours of exposure.
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?▼
Turn off the water supply if you can locate it safely, and stay out of rooms with standing water near electrical outlets or panels.
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.
