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. Hirex Water Damage sends licensed technicians straight to your Des Moines address with extraction equipment already loaded and running.
Hirex Water Damage started because homeowners in Des Moines, IA kept telling us the same story: a national hotline picked up, put them on hold, and then subcontracted the job out to whoever was cheapest and closest. Every technician on our Des Moines 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 Mold Remediation in Des Moines isn't a side service we tacked on β it's the reason the company exists. We're fully insured and licensed to work anywhere in Des Moines, IA, so you're protected from the moment our truck pulls into the driveway.
We keep a stocked warehouse inside Des Moines, IA 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.
Ask any Des Moines property manager who has dealt with a burst supply line at 3am β the difference between a crew that shows up ready and one still loading a truck at the shop is measured in gallons of water soaking into your subfloor. That's the gap Hirex Water Damage was built to close, one Des Moines call at a time.
Not every leak announces itself with a flooded floor. A lot of the worst damage we see in Des Moines started small and got ignored for weeks. Here's what tells us a property needs professional attention rather than a mop and a fan:
If you're nodding along to any of these, get ahead of it now rather than later β our Des Moines dispatcher will give you an honest read on urgency, not a sales pitch.
From a single soaked bedroom to a commercial building with three flooded floors, our Des Moines teams are equipped to scale up or down β nothing gets a cookie-cutter response.
Our Des Moines 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.
We place industrial dehumidifiers and air movers based on actual psychrometric calculations, not a standard equipment count per room, with daily drying logs so you can see the numbers improving, not just take our word for it.
For Des Moines homeowners, that means drywall removal at the flood cut line, subfloor assessment, and content pack-out for anything that can be saved, with clear photo documentation at every stage for your insurance claim.
Multi-unit and commercial Des Moines properties get their own project manager plus enough drying equipment to cover the real square footage, not a token setup β we know a flooded lobby or a leaking unit above tenants below has to move fast.
Blackwater losses in Des Moines get handled under strict Category 3 protocol: containment, PPE, antimicrobial application, and documented disposal of contaminated materials.

Daily moisture checks continue until every affected material reads dry, and you get a complete report at the end.
Our Des Moines technicians use moisture meters at the start and the end of every job, and the final number has to hit the dry standard before we leave. If a callback shows lingering moisture within 30 days of a completed job, we return and correct it at no additional charge.
You'll find that exact commitment printed on your Des Moines paperwork, not just mentioned over the phone. A repeat visit under this guarantee doesn't mean starting over β we pull the original moisture logs and pick up exactly where the last visit left off.
