A cracked supply line or an overflowing appliance doesn't check the clock before it ruins a floor. Our Hico-based teams roll out with extraction and drying gear already loaded, not scrambling to gather it after the call.
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.
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 Hico is treated as a specialty, not a side offering. Full insurance and Hico, TX 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.
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.
Plenty of the worst jobs we've walked into in Hico started as something small that got put off for a few weeks. Here's what tells our team a Hico property needs a professional look rather than a mop and a fan:
If any of that sounds familiar, don't wait for it to get worse — call our Hico line and we'll give you a straight answer on urgency.
We don't run a one-size response in Hico — a contained bathroom leak gets a different crew than a flooded restaurant kitchen. 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.
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.
Hico businesses and property managers get a dedicated project lead, after-hours crews, and equipment scaled to square footage — 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.
On top of standard drying, our Hico crews apply antimicrobial treatment and will tell you plainly if a section needs specialist attention.
Every Hico estimate is written and explained up front — no vague "we'll see how it goes" pricing.
Response times in Hico usually beat the industry average by a wide margin thanks to local equipment.
We document every Hico job with photos and moisture logs and can speak directly with your adjuster.
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.
Every Hico job closes based on instrument readings, not a visual check, and we won't call it finished until the numbers say so. If a callback within 30 days shows lingering moisture from the same loss, we return and correct it at no additional charge.
We put the guarantee directly on the work order for every Hico job, in writing. 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.
