Whether it's a slow drip that finally gave out or a sudden flood at midnight, Old Town residents call one number and get a real answer. Hirex Water Damage keeps Emergency Water Damage crews and equipment staged inside Old Town so a technician can be at your door quickly.
Plenty of Old Town families have dialed a big national number and waited through hold music before a random contractor showed up hours later, and Hirex Water Damage exists specifically to fix that pattern. Every technician you'll meet is a direct Hirex Water Damage employee, not a subcontractor pulled from an app.
Our lead technicians hold IICRC water restoration certification and have worked jobs ranging from a single soaked bedroom to a fully flooded commercial floor, which is why Emergency Water Damage in Old Town is treated as a specialty, not a side offering. Full insurance and Old Town, ME licensing back every job we take in Old Town.
Because our gear is staged locally rather than shipped in, Old Town response times run well ahead of a typical national franchise.
Anyone in Old Town who's had a mid-night plumbing failure knows that every extra minute of standing water means more material soaked through. 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in ongoing technician training, since restoration methods and equipment keep evolving and a Old Town crew running outdated techniques does the property a disservice.
Not every water problem looks dramatic — some of the costliest Old Town repairs began as a barely-noticeable issue. Here's what tells our team a Old Town property needs a professional look rather than a mop and a fan:
If you're nodding along, get ahead of it now — our Old Town dispatcher will tell you honestly whether it's urgent or something we can schedule.
From a single flooded closet to a three-story commercial building, our Old Town crews scale the response to match the actual damage. We list these as distinct services because each genuinely requires different tools and training, not interchangeable labor.
Our Old Town units carry truck-mount extraction pumps that pull standing water out fast, cutting exposure time from days to hours. Moisture mapping follows every extraction so we know which materials are still holding water once the visible flooding is gone.
Once extraction wraps, commercial air movers and LGR dehumidifiers go to work based on psychrometric readings, not a flat per-room count, with daily logs so you can watch the numbers improve.
For Old Town families, our scope covers flood-cut work, subfloor evaluation, and packing out belongings that can be cleaned and restored, with photo documentation at every stage for your insurance file.
Multi-unit and commercial properties in Old Town 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.
When a Old Town job involves sewage backup, our team suits up fully, applies EPA-registered antimicrobials, and disposes of porous materials that can't be saved.
On top of standard drying, our Old Town crews apply antimicrobial treatment and will tell you plainly if a section needs specialist attention.
We quote every Old Town job before equipment gets plugged in, so there's no surprise charge buried in the final invoice.

Tell our Old Town dispatcher what's happening — a few quick questions get the right equipment on the first trip.
Our nearest available Old Town crew is dispatched immediately with truck-mount gear on board.
Extraction happens right away, with drying equipment placed only after moisture mapping is complete.
We don't close the Old Town file until the numbers confirm the structure is dry, with full photo and moisture documentation in hand.
Every Old Town job closes based on instrument readings, not a visual check, and we won't call it finished until the numbers say so. 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 Old Town 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 Old Town job closes with instrument readings attached.
