Water damage in Old Town rarely waits for a convenient hour, and neither does our dispatch line. We built our Old Town dispatch around speed, because every extra hour of standing water costs more to repair.
We built Hirex Water Damage's Old Town operation after hearing the same complaint over and over: the "24/7" number that never actually answers when it matters. 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 Old Town crew leads have logged real hours on clean, gray, and contaminated water losses, which is why Structural Drying in Old Town is treated as a specialty, not a side offering. You're protected from the moment our truck reaches your Old Town address, thanks to full coverage and proper Old Town, ME licensing.
Equipment lives in a Old Town-area warehouse rather than being trucked in from three counties over, which shortens arrival time considerably.
Talk to a Old Town landlord who's lived through a burst supply line at 3am and they'll confirm that response speed, not just skill, determines how much a job ends up costing. That gap between a fast, equipped response and a slow, improvised one is exactly what Hirex Water Damage was built to close.
Our Old Town technicians go through regular continuing education, because a method that was standard five years ago may not be the best option today.
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 any of that sounds familiar, don't wait for it to get worse — call our Old Town line and we'll give you a straight answer on urgency.
Whether it's a small residential leak or a large commercial loss, our Old Town teams size the crew and equipment to fit. Every service below reflects a specific piece of equipment or protocol, not just a marketing category.
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.
On the residential side in Old Town, 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.
For commercial Old Town accounts, we assign a lead, run crews outside normal hours to limit downtime, and size equipment to the actual footprint — 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.
We treat affected materials during every Old Town job specifically to lower mold risk, and flag anything that needs deeper remediation.

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. A repeat visit under this guarantee means picking up exactly where the last one left off, not starting from scratch.
