Water damage in Harvey rarely waits for a convenient hour, and neither does our dispatch line. We built our Harvey dispatch around speed, because every extra hour of standing water costs more to repair.
Hirex Water Damage didn't start as a franchise looking for a new zip code to expand into — it started because Harvey homeowners kept describing the same frustrating experience: a national hotline, a long hold, and a subcontractor nobody vetted. Every technician you'll meet is a direct Hirex Water Damage employee, not a subcontractor pulled from an app.
Our lead technicians hold IICRC water restoration certification and have worked jobs ranging from a single soaked bedroom to a fully flooded commercial floor, which is why Flood Damage Cleanup in Harvey is treated as a specialty, not a side offering. Full insurance and Harvey, LA licensing back every job we take in Harvey.
Because our gear is staged locally rather than shipped in, Harvey response times run well ahead of a typical national franchise.
Ask any Harvey property manager who's dealt with an overnight pipe failure and they'll tell you the real cost isn't the leak itself — it's how long standing water sits before someone with the right equipment shows up. That gap between a fast, equipped response and a slow, improvised one is exactly what Hirex Water Damage was built to close.
We also invest in ongoing technician training, since restoration methods and equipment keep evolving and a Harvey crew running outdated techniques does the property a disservice.
The Harvey jobs that end up gutting a room almost always started quiet, not with a flood. Here's what tells our team a Harvey property needs a professional look rather than a mop and a fan:
Recognizing one of these early is the difference between a contained repair and a gutted room, so reach out to our Harvey team before it spreads.
Whether it's a small residential leak or a large commercial loss, our Harvey teams size the crew and equipment to fit. Every service below reflects a specific piece of equipment or protocol, not just a marketing category.
We arrive with submersible pumps and truck-mount extractors built to clear a flooded Harvey room before water soaks deeper into the subfloor. Moisture mapping follows every extraction so we know which materials are still holding water once the visible flooding is gone.
Once extraction wraps, commercial air movers and LGR dehumidifiers go to work based on psychrometric readings, not a flat per-room count, with daily logs so you can watch the numbers improve.
On the residential side in Harvey, we handle the flood cut, subfloor checks, and content pack-out so the home is ready for rebuild, with photo documentation at every stage for your insurance file.
For commercial Harvey accounts, we assign a lead, run crews outside normal hours to limit downtime, and size equipment to the actual footprint — a flooded lobby or a leaking unit above tenants has to move fast.
Blackwater losses in Harvey get handled under strict Category 3 protocol from containment through documented disposal.
On top of standard drying, our Harvey crews apply antimicrobial treatment and will tell you plainly if a section needs specialist attention.
We quote every Harvey job before equipment gets plugged in, so there's no surprise charge buried in the final invoice.
Because equipment is staged inside Harvey, most calls see a technician on-site in under an hour.
We photograph and log every step so your Harvey claim moves faster and you're not arguing with an insurer alone.
Final moisture readings have to hit dry-standard before we consider any Harvey job done, and getting there again is on us.
Tell our Harvey dispatcher what's happening — a few quick questions get the right equipment on the first trip.
The closest available Harvey technician is routed to you with equipment staged and ready.
Extraction happens right away, with drying equipment placed only after moisture mapping is complete.
Daily moisture checks continue on every Harvey job until each material reads dry, and you get a full report at the end.
We measure moisture with instruments, not guesswork, and won't sign off on a Harvey job until readings match the dry standard for the materials involved. If a callback within 30 days shows lingering moisture from the same loss, we return and correct it at no additional charge.
That commitment is written into every Harvey work order we issue, not just mentioned in a sales pitch. We try to return the same crew for any callback so the person handling it already knows the property and the original readings.
We built this guarantee because Harvey property owners deserve more than a verbal assurance that a job is done — they deserve proof.
