Water damage in Big Rapids rarely waits for a convenient hour, and neither does our dispatch line. Our Big Rapids-based teams roll out with extraction and drying gear already loaded, not scrambling to gather it after the call.
Plenty of Big Rapids families have dialed a big national number and waited through hold music before a random contractor showed up hours later, and Hirex Water Damage exists specifically to fix that pattern. Every technician you'll meet is a direct Hirex Water Damage employee, not a subcontractor pulled from an app.
Each senior tech on our Big Rapids 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 Big Rapids is treated as a specialty, not a side offering. We carry full liability coverage and hold active licensing to operate throughout Big Rapids, MI.
Equipment lives in a Big Rapids-area warehouse rather than being trucked in from three counties over, which shortens arrival time considerably.

We don't run a one-size response in Big Rapids — a contained bathroom leak gets a different crew than a flooded restaurant kitchen. Every service below reflects a specific piece of equipment or protocol, not just a marketing category.
Truck-mount extraction on every Big Rapids 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 Big Rapids moisture is trapped, with daily logs so you can watch the numbers improve.
For Big Rapids 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.
