Whether it's a slow drip that finally gave out or a sudden flood at midnight, Shafer residents call one number and get a real answer. Our Shafer-based teams roll out with extraction and drying gear already loaded, not scrambling to gather it after the call.
Plenty of Shafer 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.
Certification isn't just a logo on our site — our Shafer crew leads have logged real hours on clean, gray, and contaminated water losses, which is why Water Damage Repair in Shafer is treated as a specialty, not a side offering. Full insurance and Shafer, MN licensing back every job we take in Shafer.
Equipment lives in a Shafer-area warehouse rather than being trucked in from three counties over, which shortens arrival time considerably.
Talk to a Shafer 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.
We also invest in ongoing technician training, since restoration methods and equipment keep evolving and a Shafer crew running outdated techniques does the property a disservice.
Not every water problem looks dramatic — some of the costliest Shafer repairs began as a barely-noticeable issue. Here's what tells our team a Shafer 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 Shafer team before it spreads.
We don't run a one-size response in Shafer — a contained bathroom leak gets a different crew than a flooded restaurant kitchen. Every service below reflects a specific piece of equipment or protocol, not just a marketing category.
We arrive with submersible pumps and truck-mount extractors built to clear a flooded Shafer room before water soaks deeper into the subfloor. 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 Shafer, 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 Shafer 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.
Blackwater losses in Shafer get handled under strict Category 3 protocol from containment through documented disposal.
On top of standard drying, our Shafer crews apply antimicrobial treatment and will tell you plainly if a section needs specialist attention.

Standing water comes out first, then we map moisture and position air movers based on the readings.
We re-check moisture daily until materials hit dry standard, then hand you full documentation for your records.
Our Shafer technicians take moisture readings at the start and end of every job, and the final number has to hit dry standard before we leave. If a callback within 30 days shows lingering moisture from the same loss, we return and correct it at no additional charge.
We put the guarantee directly on the work order for every Shafer job, in writing. We try to return the same crew for any callback so the person handling it already knows the property and the original readings.
We built this guarantee because Shafer property owners deserve more than a verbal assurance that a job is done — they deserve proof.
