Water damage in Hico rarely waits for a convenient hour, and neither does our dispatch line. We built our Hico 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 Hico 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.
Certification isn't just a logo on our site — our Hico crew leads have logged real hours on clean, gray, and contaminated water losses, which is why Structural Drying in Hico is treated as a specialty, not a side offering. Full insurance and Hico, WV licensing back every job we take in Hico.
Local equipment staging is the difference between a 45-minute arrival and a next-morning one for Hico calls.
Ask any Hico 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.
Our Hico technicians go through regular continuing education, because a method that was standard five years ago may not be the best option today.
Not every water problem looks dramatic — some of the costliest Hico repairs began as a barely-noticeable issue. Here's what tells our team a Hico 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 Hico team before it spreads.
From a single flooded closet to a three-story commercial building, our Hico crews scale the response to match the actual damage. Every service below reflects a specific piece of equipment or protocol, not just a marketing category.
Truck-mount extraction on every Hico rig means high-volume pickup starts the same day, not the next. 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 Hico moisture is trapped, with daily logs so you can watch the numbers improve.
On the residential side in Hico, 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.
Multi-unit and commercial properties in Hico 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.
When a Hico job involves sewage backup, our team suits up fully, applies EPA-registered antimicrobials, and disposes of porous materials that can't be saved.
Every Hico drying job includes preventive antimicrobial application aimed at heading off mold before it starts.
We quote every Hico job before equipment gets plugged in, so there's no surprise charge buried in the final invoice.
Response times in Hico usually beat the industry average by a wide margin thanks to local equipment.
We photograph and log every step so your Hico claim moves faster and you're not arguing with an insurer alone.
We don't call a Hico job finished until the meter agrees, and if it doesn't, we return at no additional cost.
Tell our Hico dispatcher what's happening — a few quick questions get the right equipment on the first trip.
Our nearest available Hico crew is dispatched immediately with truck-mount gear on board.
Standing water comes out first, then we map moisture and position air movers based on the readings.
We don't close the Hico file until the numbers confirm the structure is dry, with full photo and moisture documentation in hand.
Our Hico 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 Hico work order we issue, not just mentioned in a sales pitch. If a follow-up visit is ever needed, we send a technician familiar with the original job whenever scheduling allows, so you're not re-explaining the situation to someone new.
A guarantee only means something if it's backed by documented numbers, which is why every Hico job closes with instrument readings attached.

Cut power to the affected area if there's standing water near outlets and avoid walking through it until we confirm it's safe.
We scale crews and equipment for commercial Hico accounts and assign a dedicated project lead beyond a single unit.
Typical drying runs 3-5 days for a Hico home, though a job left unaddressed longer can take more time.
