Whether it's a slow leak that's been eating your subfloor for weeks or a flooded basement at 2am, our West Des Moines crews are already moving. Hirex Water Damage sends licensed technicians straight to your West Des Moines address with extraction equipment already loaded and running.
We built our West Des Moines branch after hearing the same complaint over and over from West Des Moines, IA property owners — the "24/7" number that never actually answers. Every technician on our West Des Moines 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 Burst Pipe Cleanup in West Des Moines 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 West Des Moines, IA, so you're protected from the moment our truck pulls into the driveway.
Our West Des Moines, IA-based equipment cache means drying gear is already close by, not stuck in a truck three states away.
Ask any West Des Moines property manager who has dealt with a burst supply line at 3am — the difference between a crew that shows up ready and one still loading a truck at the shop is measured in gallons of water soaking into your subfloor. That's the gap Hirex Water Damage was built to close, one West Des Moines call at a time.
