A cracked supply line or an overflowing appliance doesn't check the clock before it ruins a floor. We built our Shafer dispatch around speed, because every extra hour of standing water costs more to repair.
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.
Each senior tech on our Shafer roster is IICRC-certified and has handled everything from a clean supply-line break to a full Category 3 sewage loss, which is why Flood Damage Cleanup in Shafer is treated as a specialty, not a side offering. Full insurance and Shafer, MN licensing back every job we take in Shafer.
Local equipment staging is the difference between a 45-minute arrival and a next-morning one for Shafer calls.
Anyone in Shafer 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invest in ongoing technician training, since restoration methods and equipment keep evolving and a Shafer crew running outdated techniques does the property a disservice.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:
If any of that sounds familiar, don't wait for it to get worse — call our Shafer line and we'll give you a straight answer on urgency.
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.
Truck-mount extraction on every Shafer rig means high-volume pickup starts the same day, not the next. Moisture mapping follows every extraction so we know which materials are still holding water once the visible flooding is gone.
Our drying plans rely on moisture meters and thermal imaging to target air movers exactly where hidden Shafer moisture is trapped, 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.
Shafer businesses and property managers get a dedicated project lead, after-hours crews, and equipment scaled to square footage — a flooded lobby or a leaking unit above tenants has to move fast.
When a Shafer job involves sewage backup, our team suits up fully, applies EPA-registered antimicrobials, and disposes of porous materials that can't be saved.
Every Shafer drying job includes preventive antimicrobial application aimed at heading off mold before it starts.
You'll see a written estimate before any equipment runs on your Shafer property, not a mystery total after the fact.
Local staging inside Shafer typically puts a tech at your door quickly, not after a long drive across the region.
We photograph and log every step so your Shafer claim moves faster and you're not arguing with an insurer alone.
If moisture readings aren't where they should be at the end of a Shafer job, we come back and keep drying at no extra charge.
A short call tells us whether your Shafer job needs one technician or a full crew before anyone drives out.
A licensed technician heads to your Shafer address with extraction and drying equipment already loaded.
Extraction happens right away, with drying equipment placed only after moisture mapping is complete.
Daily moisture checks continue on every Shafer job until each material reads dry, and you get a full report at the end.
We measure moisture with instruments, not guesswork, and won't sign off on a Shafer 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 Shafer work order we issue, not just mentioned in a sales pitch. A repeat visit under this guarantee means picking up exactly where the last one left off, not starting from scratch.
A guarantee only means something if it's backed by documented numbers, which is why every Shafer job closes with instrument readings attached.
