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. Our South Portland-based teams arrive with truck-mount extractors, moisture meters, and drying gear staged and ready to go.
We built our South Portland branch after hearing the same complaint over and over from South Portland, ME property owners — the "24/7" number that never actually answers. 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 Water Removal 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.
We keep a stocked warehouse inside South Portland, ME 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.
Talk to a South Portland property manager who's lived through an overnight pipe failure and they'll tell you exactly why a crew that arrives already equipped matters — every extra minute is more water in the framing. That's the gap Hirex Water Damage was built to close, one South Portland call at a time.
Water damage doesn't always look dramatic at first — some of the costliest South Portland jobs we've handled began as a small, easy-to-miss problem. 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 South Portland line and we'll tell you honestly whether it's a same-day emergency or something we can schedule.
Whether it's one bedroom carpet or an entire flooded commercial floor, our South Portland crews scale the response to match the loss — nothing gets a cookie-cutter response.
Truck-mounted extraction equipment on every South Portland 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.
Once water is out, we bring in commercial air movers and LGR dehumidifiers, positioned using psychrometric readings rather than guesswork, with daily drying logs so you can see the numbers improving, not just take our word for it.
On the residential side in South Portland, we handle the flood-cut, subfloor checks, and content pack-out so your home is ready to rebuild, with clear photo documentation at every stage for your insurance claim.
Multi-unit and commercial South Portland 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.
Category 3 blackwater calls for full PPE, antimicrobial treatment, and disposal of anything porous that touched the contamination — our South Portland crews are trained for exactly that protocol.
We apply antimicrobial treatment during every South Portland drying job specifically to head off mold before it starts, and we'll flag any area that needs deeper remediation.

Extraction happens immediately, followed by a moisture survey that tells us precisely where the drying equipment needs to go.
We don't close the file until the numbers confirm the structure is dry, and you leave with full photo and moisture documentation.
We measure moisture with instruments, not guesswork, and we won't sign off on a South Portland 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.
That's not a marketing line — it's written into every South Portland work order we issue. If a second visit is ever needed, it comes from the same crew that handled the original job whenever scheduling allows, since they already know the property and the readings we started from.
