A cracked supply line or an overflowing appliance doesn't check the clock before it ruins a floor. Our Old Town-based teams roll out with extraction and drying gear already loaded, not scrambling to gather it after the call.
Hirex Water Damage didn't start as a franchise looking for a new zip code to expand into — it started because Old Town homeowners kept describing the same frustrating experience: a national hotline, a long hold, and a subcontractor nobody vetted. Every technician you'll meet is a direct Hirex Water Damage employee, not a subcontractor pulled from an app.
Each senior tech on our Old Town roster is IICRC-certified and has handled everything from a clean supply-line break to a full Category 3 sewage loss, which is why Water Damage Repair 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.
Local equipment staging is the difference between a 45-minute arrival and a next-morning one for Old Town calls.
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in ongoing technician training, since restoration methods and equipment keep evolving and a Old Town crew running outdated techniques does the property a disservice.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:
Recognizing one of these early is the difference between a contained repair and a gutted room, so reach out to our Old Town team before it spreads.
From a single flooded closet to a three-story commercial building, our Old Town crews scale the response to match the actual damage. Each item on this list corresponds to an actual step in our process, not a generic label.
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.
We calculate drying needs using humidity and temperature data rather than guessing at equipment placement, 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.
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.
We treat affected materials during every Old Town job specifically to lower mold risk, and flag anything that needs deeper remediation.

Extraction happens right away, with drying equipment placed only after moisture mapping is complete.
We re-check moisture daily until materials hit dry standard, then hand you full documentation for your records.
We measure moisture with instruments, not guesswork, and won't sign off on a Old Town job until readings match the dry standard for the materials involved. If a callback within 30 days shows lingering moisture from the same loss, we return and correct it at no additional charge.
That commitment is written into every Old Town work order we issue, not just mentioned in a sales pitch. If a follow-up visit is ever needed, we send a technician familiar with the original job whenever scheduling allows, so you're not re-explaining the situation to someone new.
