A cracked supply line or an overflowing appliance doesn't check the clock before it ruins a floor. Our North Star-based teams roll out with extraction and drying gear already loaded, not scrambling to gather it after the call.
We built Hirex Water Damage's North Star 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 North Star roster is IICRC-certified and has handled everything from a clean supply-line break to a full Category 3 sewage loss, which is why Flood Damage Cleanup in North Star is treated as a specialty, not a side offering.

Whether it's a small residential leak or a large commercial loss, our North Star teams size the crew and equipment to fit. Each item on this list corresponds to an actual step in our process, not a generic label.
Our North Star units carry truck-mount extraction pumps that pull standing water out fast, cutting exposure time from days to hours. Moisture mapping follows every extraction so we know which materials are still holding water once the visible flooding is gone.
We calculate drying needs using humidity and temperature data rather than guessing at equipment placement, with daily logs so you can watch the numbers improve.
