Whether it's a slow leak that's been eating your subfloor for weeks or a flooded basement at 2am, our South Portland crews are already moving. We dispatch South Portland units carrying industrial extraction pumps, air movers, and commercial dehumidifiers already loaded on the truck.
Hirex Water Damage started because homeowners in South Portland, ME 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 South Portland roster is a Hirex Water Damage employee, not a gig-app contractor pulled from a random directory.
Our crew leads carry IICRC water restoration certifications and have logged real hours on Category 1, 2, and 3 losses, so Emergency Water Damage in South Portland isn't a side service we tacked on — it's the reason the company exists. Full liability coverage and South Portland, ME licensing back every job we take, so you're protected from the moment our truck pulls into the driveway.
Because our equipment lives in a South Portland, ME warehouse rather than out of state, we're not waiting on a supply run before we can start extraction.
