A cracked supply line or an overflowing appliance doesn't check the clock before it ruins a floor. Hirex Water Damage keeps Water Damage Repair crews and equipment staged inside Shafer so a technician can be at your door quickly.
We built Hirex Water Damage's Shafer 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 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. We carry full liability coverage and hold active licensing to operate throughout Shafer, MN.
Because our gear is staged locally rather than shipped in, Shafer response times run well ahead of a typical national franchise.
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invest in ongoing technician training, since restoration methods and equipment keep evolving and a Shafer crew running outdated techniques does the property a disservice.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 you're nodding along, get ahead of it now — our Shafer 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 Shafer 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.
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.
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.
For Shafer 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.
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.
Category 3 blackwater calls for full PPE, antimicrobial treatment, and disposal of anything porous that touched the contamination — our Shafer crews are trained for that exact protocol.
On top of standard drying, our Shafer crews apply antimicrobial treatment and will tell you plainly if a section needs specialist attention.
Every Shafer estimate is written and explained up front — no vague "we'll see how it goes" pricing.
Because equipment is staged inside Shafer, most calls see a technician on-site in under an hour.
We photograph and log every step so your Shafer claim moves faster and you're not arguing with an insurer alone.
Final moisture readings have to hit dry-standard before we consider any Shafer job done, and getting there again is on us.
Our Shafer team asks just enough to send the right-sized crew, not a generic single technician every time.
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.
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.

Typical drying runs 3-5 days for a Shafer home, though a job left unaddressed longer can take more time.
