A cracked supply line or an overflowing appliance doesn't check the clock before it ruins a floor. We built our Hico dispatch around speed, because every extra hour of standing water costs more to repair.
We built Hirex Water Damage's Hico operation after hearing the same complaint over and over: the "24/7" number that never actually answers when it matters. 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 Structural Drying in Hico is treated as a specialty, not a side offering. Full insurance and Hico, TX licensing back every job we take in Hico.
Because our gear is staged locally rather than shipped in, Hico response times run well ahead of a typical national franchise.
Talk to a Hico landlord who's lived through a burst supply line at 3am and they'll confirm that response speed, not just skill, determines how much a job ends up costing. 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.
The Hico jobs that end up gutting a room almost always started quiet, not with a flood. Here's what tells our team a Hico property needs a professional look rather than a mop and a fan:
If you're nodding along, get ahead of it now — our Hico dispatcher will tell you honestly whether it's urgent or something we can schedule.
From a single flooded closet to a three-story commercial building, our Hico crews scale the response to match the actual damage. We list these as distinct services because each genuinely requires different tools and training, not interchangeable labor.
We arrive with submersible pumps and truck-mount extractors built to clear a flooded Hico 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.
For Hico homeowners, that means flood-cut drywall removal, subfloor assessment, and content pack-out for anything salvageable, 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.
Category 3 blackwater calls for full PPE, antimicrobial treatment, and disposal of anything porous that touched the contamination — our Hico crews are trained for that exact protocol.
We treat affected materials during every Hico job specifically to lower mold risk, and flag anything that needs deeper remediation.
You'll see a written estimate before any equipment runs on your Hico property, not a mystery total after the fact.
Because equipment is staged inside Hico, most calls see a technician on-site in under an hour.
We photograph and log every step so your Hico claim moves faster and you're not arguing with an insurer alone.
If moisture readings aren't where they should be at the end of a Hico job, we come back and keep drying at no extra charge.
Tell our Hico dispatcher what's happening — a few quick questions get the right equipment on the first trip.
A licensed technician heads to your Hico address with extraction and drying equipment already loaded.
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.
We measure moisture with instruments, not guesswork, and won't sign off on a Hico 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.
You'll find that exact guarantee printed on your Hico paperwork, not only spoken over the phone. We try to return the same crew for any callback so the person handling it already knows the property and the original readings.
Trust matters, but in restoration work, documented moisture readings matter more, and that's what our Hico guarantee is built on.

Emergency extraction, structural drying, and sewage cleanup are all available 24/7 for Hico properties.
Our paperwork is built to match what Hico, TX adjusters expect.
We take moisture meter readings and compare them against the dry standard for that material — a visual check alone isn't enough.
We regularly handle sewage backups in Hico using full containment and EPA-registered products.
If it's safe, shut off the water source, move valuables away from the affected area, and avoid standing water near outlets.
Yes, we regularly respond to commercial and multi-unit losses in Hico, including retail, restaurants, and offices.
Most Hico residential jobs dry out in 3 to 5 days depending on how much material got wet.
Quick extraction and drying significantly lowers mold risk since spores need sustained moisture to take hold.
Our Hico guarantee covers a 30-day callback window tied to the original loss.
See the zip codes and nearby cities listed below — our Hico crews cover that full radius.
You don't have to stay on-site the entire time equipment is running, though we do need periodic access for moisture checks.
Beyond Hico itself, coverage extends across nearby zip codes, with additional Hico, TX crews available for large-scale or commercial losses. If your address falls inside or near Hico, a Hirex Water Damage crew can typically respond the same day.
Local familiarity helps, since Hico's building stock varies enough by neighborhood that a one-size approach to diagnostics doesn't always fit.
