A cracked supply line or an overflowing appliance doesn't check the clock before it ruins a floor. Hirex Water Damage keeps Flood Damage Cleanup crews and equipment staged inside Lake Elmo so a technician can be at your door quickly.
Hirex Water Damage didn't start as a franchise looking for a new zip code to expand into — it started because Lake Elmo homeowners kept describing the same frustrating experience: a national hotline, a long hold, and a subcontractor nobody vetted. Every technician you'll meet is a direct Hirex Water Damage employee, not a subcontractor pulled from an app.
Each senior tech on our Lake Elmo 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 Lake Elmo is treated as a specialty, not a side offering. Full insurance and Lake Elmo, MN licensing back every job we take in Lake Elmo.
Equipment lives in a Lake Elmo-area warehouse rather than being trucked in from three counties over, which shortens arrival time considerably.
Ask any Lake Elmo 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.
We also invest in ongoing technician training, since restoration methods and equipment keep evolving and a Lake Elmo crew running outdated techniques does the property a disservice.
Plenty of the worst jobs we've walked into in Lake Elmo started as something small that got put off for a few weeks. Here's what tells our team a Lake Elmo 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 Lake Elmo line and we'll give you a straight answer on urgency.
From a single flooded closet to a three-story commercial building, our Lake Elmo crews scale the response to match the actual damage. We list these as distinct services because each genuinely requires different tools and training, not interchangeable labor.
We arrive with submersible pumps and truck-mount extractors built to clear a flooded Lake Elmo room before water soaks deeper into the subfloor. 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 Lake Elmo 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.
For commercial Lake Elmo 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 Lake Elmo job involves sewage backup, our team suits up fully, applies EPA-registered antimicrobials, and disposes of porous materials that can't be saved.
Every Lake Elmo drying job includes preventive antimicrobial application aimed at heading off mold before it starts.
Every Lake Elmo estimate is written and explained up front — no vague "we'll see how it goes" pricing.

We document every Lake Elmo job with photos and moisture logs and can speak directly with your adjuster.

Tell our Lake Elmo dispatcher what's happening — a few quick questions get the right equipment on the first trip.
The closest available Lake Elmo technician is routed to you with equipment staged and ready.
Extraction happens right away, with drying equipment placed only after moisture mapping is complete.
We don't close the Lake Elmo file until the numbers confirm the structure is dry, with full photo and moisture documentation in hand.
Our Lake Elmo 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.
That commitment is written into every Lake Elmo work order we issue, not just mentioned in a sales pitch. 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 Lake Elmo guarantee is built on.
