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 Smithers address with extraction equipment already loaded and running.
Hirex Water Damage started because homeowners in Smithers, WV 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 Smithers 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 Water Damage Repair in Smithers isn't a side service we tacked on — it's the reason the company exists. We carry full general liability coverage and are licensed to operate throughout Smithers, WV, so you're protected from the moment our truck pulls into the driveway.
We keep a stocked warehouse inside Smithers, WV 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 Smithers property manager who has dealt with a burst supply line at 3am — 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 Smithers call at a time.
Not every leak announces itself with a flooded floor. A lot of the worst damage we see in Smithers 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 any of that sounds familiar, don't wait for it to get worse — call our Smithers line and we'll tell you honestly whether it's a same-day emergency or something we can schedule.
We size the Smithers response to the actual damage — a single-room extraction gets a two-person crew, a commercial loss gets the full fleet — nothing gets a cookie-cutter response.
Truck-mounted extraction equipment on every Smithers rig pulls high volumes of standing water fast, so drying starts the same day instead of the next. 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.
For families in Smithers, this covers flood-cut drywall removal, subfloor evaluation, and packing out salvageable belongings for cleaning, with clear photo documentation at every stage for your insurance claim.
Multi-unit and commercial Smithers properties get their own project manager plus enough drying equipment to cover the real square footage, not a token setup — we know a flooded lobby or a leaking unit above tenants below has to move fast.
When a Smithers job involves sewage backup, our team suits up in full PPE, applies EPA-registered antimicrobials, and safely disposes of porous materials that can't be saved.
On top of standard drying, our Smithers crews treat affected materials to reduce mold risk and will be upfront if a section needs specialist remediation.
Every Smithers estimate is written and explained before work begins — no vague "we'll see how it goes" pricing.
Because our equipment cache sits inside Smithers, WV, most Smithers calls see a technician on-site in under 60 minutes.
We photograph and log every step specifically so your claim moves faster and you're not the one arguing with the insurance company.
Final moisture readings have to hit dry-standard before we consider a Smithers job done, and getting there again is on us, not you.
Our Smithers team asks a handful of targeted questions so the truck that shows up already has the right gear loaded.
Our nearest available Smithers crew is dispatched immediately with truck-mount extraction gear on board.
We remove standing water first, then map moisture and position air movers and dehumidifiers based on the readings.
We re-check moisture levels daily until materials hit dry standard, then hand you full documentation for your records or your insurer.
We measure moisture with instruments, not guesswork, and we won't sign off on a Smithers job until those readings match the dry standard for the materials involved. If a callback shows lingering moisture within 30 days of a completed job, we return and correct it at no additional charge.
We put that guarantee directly on the Smithers work order, not just in an ad. We try to send the original technician back for any follow-up so you're not re-explaining the job to someone new.
