Hirex Water Damage started because homeowners in West Des Moines, IA 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 West Des Moines roster is a Hirex Water Damage employee, not a gig-app contractor pulled from a random directory.
Our senior technicians are IICRC-certified and have worked everything from a clean supply-line break to a full sewage backup, so Flood Damage Cleanup in West Des Moines isn't a side service we tacked on — it's the reason the company exists.

Because our equipment lives in a West Des Moines, IA warehouse rather than out of state, we're not waiting on a supply run before we can start extraction.
