Hirex Water Damage started because homeowners in Northwood, IA kept telling us the same story: a national hotline picked up, put them on hold, and then subcontracted the job out to whoever was cheapest and closest. Every technician on our Northwood roster is a Hirex Water Damage employee, not a gig-app contractor pulled from a random directory.
Our crew leads carry IICRC water restoration certifications and have logged real hours on Category 1, 2, and 3 losses, so Basement Flooding in Northwood isn't a side service we tacked on — it's the reason the company exists. Full liability coverage and Northwood, IA licensing back every job we take, so you're protected from the moment our truck pulls into the driveway.

Truck-mounted extraction equipment on every Northwood rig pulls high volumes of standing water fast, so drying starts the same day instead of the next. Every extraction job includes moisture mapping so we know exactly which materials are still holding water once the visible flooding is gone.
Once water is out, we bring in commercial air movers and LGR dehumidifiers, positioned using psychrometric readings rather than guesswork, with daily drying logs so you can see the numbers improving, not just take our word for it.
