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.
We built Hirex Water Damage's Harvey 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.
Each senior tech on our Harvey roster is IICRC-certified and has handled everything from a clean supply-line break to a full Category 3 sewage loss, which is why Structural Drying in Harvey is treated as a specialty, not a side offering. We carry full liability coverage and hold active licensing to operate throughout Harvey, IL.
Equipment lives in a Harvey-area warehouse rather than being trucked in from three counties over, which shortens arrival time considerably.
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.
Staying current on restoration techniques matters as much in Harvey as the equipment itself, which is why training isn't a one-time certification and done.
Not every water problem looks dramatic — some of the costliest Harvey repairs began as a barely-noticeable issue. Here's what tells our team a Harvey 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 Harvey line and we'll give you a straight answer on urgency.
From a single flooded closet to a three-story commercial building, our Harvey crews scale the response to match the actual damage. Each item on this list corresponds to an actual step in our process, not a generic label.
Truck-mount extraction on every Harvey 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.
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 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.
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.
When a Harvey job involves sewage backup, our team suits up fully, applies EPA-registered antimicrobials, and disposes of porous materials that can't be saved.
On top of standard drying, our Harvey crews apply antimicrobial treatment and will tell you plainly if a section needs specialist attention.
Every Harvey estimate is written and explained up front — no vague "we'll see how it goes" pricing.
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, IL adjusters expect, so you're not stuck translating restoration jargon.
If moisture readings aren't where they should be at the end of a Harvey job, we come back and keep drying at no extra charge.
Our Harvey team asks just enough to send the right-sized crew, not a generic single technician every time.
Our nearest available Harvey crew is dispatched immediately with truck-mount gear on board.
We extract immediately, followed by a moisture survey that tells us precisely where Harvey drying equipment needs to go.
Daily moisture checks continue on every Harvey job until each material reads dry, and you get a full report at the end.
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.
We put the guarantee directly on the work order for every Harvey 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 Harvey guarantee is built on.
