A cracked supply line or an overflowing appliance doesn't check the clock before it ruins a floor. We built our Stetson dispatch around speed, because every extra hour of standing water costs more to repair.
Hirex Water Damage didn't start as a franchise looking for a new zip code to expand into — it started because Stetson 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.
Certification isn't just a logo on our site — our Stetson crew leads have logged real hours on clean, gray, and contaminated water losses, which is why Structural Drying in Stetson is treated as a specialty, not a side offering. We carry full liability coverage and hold active licensing to operate throughout Stetson, ME.
Because our gear is staged locally rather than shipped in, Stetson response times run well ahead of a typical national franchise.
Ask any Stetson 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invest in ongoing technician training, since restoration methods and equipment keep evolving and a Stetson crew running outdated techniques does the property a disservice.
Not every water problem looks dramatic — some of the costliest Stetson repairs began as a barely-noticeable issue. Here's what tells our team a Stetson property needs a professional look rather than a mop and a fan:
Recognizing one of these early is the difference between a contained repair and a gutted room, so reach out to our Stetson team before it spreads.
From a single flooded closet to a three-story commercial building, our Stetson crews scale the response to match the actual damage. Every service below reflects a specific piece of equipment or protocol, not just a marketing category.
Truck-mount extraction on every Stetson rig means high-volume pickup starts the same day, not the next. 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.
On the residential side in Stetson, we handle the flood cut, subfloor checks, and content pack-out so the home is ready for rebuild, with photo documentation at every stage for your insurance file.
Multi-unit and commercial properties in Stetson 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 Stetson crews are trained for that exact protocol.
On top of standard drying, our Stetson crews apply antimicrobial treatment and will tell you plainly if a section needs specialist attention.
You'll see a written estimate before any equipment runs on your Stetson property, not a mystery total after the fact.
Local staging inside Stetson typically puts a tech at your door quickly, not after a long drive across the region.
We photograph and log every step so your Stetson claim moves faster and you're not arguing with an insurer alone.
We don't call a Stetson job finished until the meter agrees, and if it doesn't, we return at no additional cost.
Our Stetson team asks just enough to send the right-sized crew, not a generic single technician every time.
A licensed technician heads to your Stetson address with extraction and drying equipment already loaded.
We extract immediately, followed by a moisture survey that tells us precisely where Stetson drying equipment needs to go.
We re-check moisture daily until materials hit dry standard, then hand you full documentation for your records.
We measure moisture with instruments, not guesswork, and won't sign off on a Stetson 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.
You'll find that exact guarantee printed on your Stetson paperwork, not only spoken over the phone. We try to return the same crew for any callback so the person handling it already knows the property and the original readings.
A guarantee only means something if it's backed by documented numbers, which is why every Stetson job closes with instrument readings attached.
