Whether it's a slow drip that finally gave out or a sudden flood at midnight, Houlton residents call one number and get a real answer. Hirex Water Damage keeps Flood Damage Cleanup crews and equipment staged inside Houlton so a technician can be at your door quickly.
Hirex Water Damage didn't start as a franchise looking for a new zip code to expand into — it started because Houlton 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.
Certification isn't just a logo on our site — our Houlton crew leads have logged real hours on clean, gray, and contaminated water losses, which is why Flood Damage Cleanup in Houlton is treated as a specialty, not a side offering. Full insurance and Houlton, WI licensing back every job we take in Houlton.
Equipment lives in a Houlton-area warehouse rather than being trucked in from three counties over, which shortens arrival time considerably.

We don't run a one-size response in Houlton — 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.
Our Houlton 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.
For Houlton homeowners, that means flood-cut drywall removal, subfloor assessment, and content pack-out for anything salvageable, with photo documentation at every stage for your insurance file.
