A cracked supply line or an overflowing appliance doesn't check the clock before it ruins a floor. 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 Water Damage Repair 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.
Anyone in Harvey who's had a mid-night plumbing failure knows that every extra minute of standing water means more material soaked through. That gap between a fast, equipped response and a slow, improvised one is exactly what Hirex Water Damage was built to close.
Our Harvey technicians go through regular continuing education, because a method that was standard five years ago may not be the best option today.
Plenty of the worst jobs we've walked into in Harvey started as something small that got put off for a few weeks. Here's what tells our team a Harvey property needs a professional look rather than a mop and a fan:
If you're nodding along, get ahead of it now — our Harvey dispatcher will tell you honestly whether it's urgent or something we can schedule.
Whether it's a small residential leak or a large commercial loss, our Harvey teams size the crew and equipment to fit. Each item on this list corresponds to an actual step in our process, not a generic label.
Our Harvey units carry truck-mount extraction pumps that pull standing water out fast, cutting exposure time from days to hours. Moisture mapping follows every extraction so we know which materials are still holding water once the visible flooding is gone.
Our drying plans rely on moisture meters and thermal imaging to target air movers exactly where hidden Harvey moisture is trapped, with daily logs so you can watch the numbers improve.
For Harvey families, our scope covers flood-cut work, subfloor evaluation, and packing out belongings that can be cleaned and restored, with photo documentation at every stage for your insurance file.
Multi-unit and commercial properties in Harvey get their own project manager plus enough drying equipment for the real square footage, not a token setup — a flooded lobby or a leaking unit above tenants has to move fast.
Category 3 blackwater calls for full PPE, antimicrobial treatment, and disposal of anything porous that touched the contamination — our Harvey crews are trained for that exact protocol.
We treat affected materials during every Harvey job specifically to lower mold risk, and flag anything that needs deeper remediation.
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.
Our paperwork is built to match what Harvey, LA adjusters expect, so you're not stuck translating restoration jargon.
Final moisture readings have to hit dry-standard before we consider any Harvey job done, and getting there again is on us.
A short call tells us whether your Harvey job needs one technician or a full crew before anyone drives out.
The closest available Harvey technician is routed to you with equipment staged and ready.
Standing water comes out first, then we map moisture and position air movers based on the readings.
We re-check moisture daily until materials hit dry standard, then hand you full documentation for your records.
Our Harvey technicians take moisture readings at the start and end of every job, and the final number has to hit dry standard before we leave. 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. A repeat visit under this guarantee means picking up exactly where the last one left off, not starting from scratch.
We built this guarantee because Harvey property owners deserve more than a verbal assurance that a job is done — they deserve proof.
