A burst supply line, an overflowing tub, or a storm surge under the back door doesn't wait for business hours, and neither do we. We dispatch Lake Elmo units carrying industrial extraction pumps, air movers, and commercial dehumidifiers already loaded on the truck.
Too many Lake Elmo, MN families have called a big national number only to get bounced through hold music before a random subcontractor shows up hours later, so Hirex Water Damage built its Lake Elmo operation differently. Every technician on our Lake Elmo roster is a Hirex Water Damage employee, not a gig-app contractor pulled from a random directory.
Each lead tech holds an IICRC Water Restoration Technician certification and has personally handled clean-water, gray-water, and contaminated black-water losses, so Burst Pipe Cleanup in Lake Elmo isn't a side service we tacked on — it's the reason the company exists. We're fully insured and licensed to work anywhere in Lake Elmo, MN, so you're protected from the moment our truck pulls into the driveway.
We keep a stocked warehouse inside Lake Elmo, MN so equipment never has to be trucked in from another region, which is the difference between a 45-minute arrival and a next-day one.
Talk to a Lake Elmo property manager who's lived through an overnight pipe failure and they'll tell you exactly why a crew that arrives already equipped matters — every extra minute is more water in the framing. That's the gap Hirex Water Damage was built to close, one Lake Elmo call at a time.

Whether it's one bedroom carpet or an entire flooded commercial floor, our Lake Elmo crews scale the response to match the loss — nothing gets a cookie-cutter response.
Our Lake Elmo units run truck-mount extraction pumps that pull thousands of gallons per hour, cutting standing-water time from days to hours. Every extraction job includes moisture mapping so we know exactly which materials are still holding water once the visible flooding is gone.
Our drying plans use moisture meters and thermal imaging to target air movers exactly where hidden moisture is trapped, with daily drying logs so you can see the numbers improving, not just take our word for it.
