A cracked supply line or an overflowing appliance doesn't check the clock before it ruins a floor. We built our Mertens dispatch around speed, because every extra hour of standing water costs more to repair.
Plenty of Mertens 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.
Each senior tech on our Mertens roster is IICRC-certified and has handled everything from a clean supply-line break to a full Category 3 sewage loss, which is why Structural Drying in Mertens is treated as a specialty, not a side offering. Full insurance and Mertens, TX licensing back every job we take in Mertens.

Talk to a Mertens landlord who's lived through a burst supply line at 3am and they'll confirm that response speed, not just skill, determines how much a job ends up costing. That gap between a fast, equipped response and a slow, improvised one is exactly what Hirex Water Damage was built to close.
Our Mertens technicians go through regular continuing education, because a method that was standard five years ago may not be the best option today.

We arrive with submersible pumps and truck-mount extractors built to clear a flooded Mertens 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.
Our drying plans rely on moisture meters and thermal imaging to target air movers exactly where hidden Mertens moisture is trapped, with daily logs so you can watch the numbers improve.
For Mertens 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.
