Whether it's a slow leak that's been eating your subfloor for weeks or a flooded basement at 2am, our North Star crews are already moving. Hirex Water Damage sends licensed technicians straight to your North Star address with extraction equipment already loaded and running.
Hirex Water Damage started because homeowners in North Star, MI kept telling us the same story: a national hotline picked up, put them on hold, and then subcontracted the job out to whoever was cheapest and closest. Every technician on our North Star roster is a Hirex Water Damage employee, not a gig-app contractor pulled from a random directory.
Our crew leads carry IICRC water restoration certifications and have logged real hours on Category 1, 2, and 3 losses, so Water Damage Repair in North Star isn't a side service we tacked on — it's the reason the company exists. We carry full general liability coverage and are licensed to operate throughout North Star, MI, so you're protected from the moment our truck pulls into the driveway.
We keep a stocked warehouse inside North Star, MI so equipment never has to be trucked in from another region, which is the difference between a 45-minute arrival and a next-day one.
