Whether it's a slow drip that finally gave out or a sudden flood at midnight, Ely residents call one number and get a real answer. Hirex Water Damage keeps Water Damage Repair crews and equipment staged inside Ely 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 Ely 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.
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 Ely is treated as a specialty, not a side offering. We carry full liability coverage and hold active licensing to operate throughout Ely, MN.
Local equipment staging is the difference between a 45-minute arrival and a next-morning one for Ely calls.
Anyone in Ely who's had a mid-night plumbing failure knows that every extra minute of standing water means more material soaked through. That gap between a fast, equipped response and a slow, improvised one is exactly what Hirex Water Damage was built to close.
Staying current on restoration techniques matters as much in Ely as the equipment itself, which is why training isn't a one-time certification and done.
Plenty of the worst jobs we've walked into in Ely started as something small that got put off for a few weeks. Here's what tells our team a Ely property needs a professional look rather than a mop and a fan:
Recognizing one of these early is the difference between a contained repair and a gutted room, so reach out to our Ely team before it spreads.
From a single flooded closet to a three-story commercial building, our Ely crews scale the response to match the actual damage. Every service below reflects a specific piece of equipment or protocol, not just a marketing category.
Truck-mount extraction on every Ely rig means high-volume pickup starts the same day, not the next. Moisture mapping follows every extraction so we know which materials are still holding water once the visible flooding is gone.
Our drying plans rely on moisture meters and thermal imaging to target air movers exactly where hidden Ely moisture is trapped, with daily logs so you can watch the numbers improve.
For Ely 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.
Ely businesses and property managers get a dedicated project lead, after-hours crews, and equipment scaled to square footage — a flooded lobby or a leaking unit above tenants has to move fast.
Category 3 blackwater calls for full PPE, antimicrobial treatment, and disposal of anything porous that touched the contamination — our Ely crews are trained for that exact protocol.
Every Ely drying job includes preventive antimicrobial application aimed at heading off mold before it starts.
You'll see a written estimate before any equipment runs on your Ely property, not a mystery total after the fact.
Because equipment is staged inside Ely, most calls see a technician on-site in under an hour.
We document every Ely job with photos and moisture logs and can speak directly with your adjuster.
If moisture readings aren't where they should be at the end of a Ely job, we come back and keep drying at no extra charge.
A short call tells us whether your Ely job needs one technician or a full crew before anyone drives out.
A licensed technician heads to your Ely address with extraction and drying equipment already loaded.
Standing water comes out first, then we map moisture and position air movers based on the readings.
We don't close the Ely file until the numbers confirm the structure is dry, with full photo and moisture documentation in hand.
Our Ely technicians take moisture readings at the start and end of every job, and the final number has to hit dry standard before we leave. If a callback within 30 days shows lingering moisture from the same loss, we return and correct it at no additional charge.
We put the guarantee directly on the work order for every Ely job, in writing. A repeat visit under this guarantee means picking up exactly where the last one left off, not starting from scratch.
We built this guarantee because Ely property owners deserve more than a verbal assurance that a job is done — they deserve proof.
