A cracked supply line or an overflowing appliance doesn't check the clock before it ruins a floor. We built our Union dispatch around speed, because every extra hour of standing water costs more to repair.
Plenty of Union 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.
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 Union is treated as a specialty, not a side offering. You're protected from the moment our truck reaches your Union address, thanks to full coverage and proper Union, ME licensing.
Because our gear is staged locally rather than shipped in, Union response times run well ahead of a typical national franchise.
Anyone in Union who's had a mid-night plumbing failure knows that every extra minute of standing water means more material soaked through. That gap between a fast, equipped response and a slow, improvised one is exactly what Hirex Water Damage was built to close.
Our Union technicians go through regular continuing education, because a method that was standard five years ago may not be the best option today.
Not every water problem looks dramatic — some of the costliest Union repairs began as a barely-noticeable issue. Here's what tells our team a Union property needs a professional look rather than a mop and a fan:
If you're nodding along, get ahead of it now — our Union dispatcher will tell you honestly whether it's urgent or something we can schedule.
From a single flooded closet to a three-story commercial building, our Union 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.
Our Union 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.
For Union 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.
Multi-unit and commercial properties in Union get their own project manager plus enough drying equipment for the real square footage, not a token setup — 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 Union crews are trained for that exact protocol.
Every Union drying job includes preventive antimicrobial application aimed at heading off mold before it starts.
We quote every Union job before equipment gets plugged in, so there's no surprise charge buried in the final invoice.
Local staging inside Union typically puts a tech at your door quickly, not after a long drive across the region.
We photograph and log every step so your Union claim moves faster and you're not arguing with an insurer alone.
We don't call a Union job finished until the meter agrees, and if it doesn't, we return at no additional cost.
A short call tells us whether your Union job needs one technician or a full crew before anyone drives out.
A licensed technician heads to your Union address with extraction and drying equipment already loaded.
Extraction happens right away, with drying equipment placed only after moisture mapping is complete.
We don't close the Union file until the numbers confirm the structure is dry, with full photo and moisture documentation in hand.
We measure moisture with instruments, not guesswork, and won't sign off on a Union job until readings match the dry standard for the materials involved. If a callback within 30 days shows lingering moisture from the same loss, we return and correct it at no additional charge.
That commitment is written into every Union work order we issue, not just mentioned in a sales pitch. If a follow-up visit is ever needed, we send a technician familiar with the original job whenever scheduling allows, so you're not re-explaining the situation to someone new.
A guarantee only means something if it's backed by documented numbers, which is why every Union job closes with instrument readings attached.

Union is our home base, and our reach extends across Union, ME through staged equipment and on-call technicians. If your address falls inside or near Union, a Hirex Water Damage crew can typically respond the same day.
