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 Water Damage Repair crews and equipment staged inside Houlton so a technician can be at your door quickly.
We built Hirex Water Damage's Houlton 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.
Our lead technicians hold IICRC water restoration certification and have worked jobs ranging from a single soaked bedroom to a fully flooded commercial floor, which is why Water Damage Repair in Houlton is treated as a specialty, not a side offering. We carry full liability coverage and hold active licensing to operate throughout Houlton, WI.

Staying current on restoration techniques matters as much in Houlton as the equipment itself, which is why training isn't a one-time certification and done.
