A cracked supply line or an overflowing appliance doesn't check the clock before it ruins a floor. We built our Catawba dispatch around speed, because every extra hour of standing water costs more to repair.
Hirex Water Damage didn't start as a franchise looking for a new zip code to expand into — it started because Catawba 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 Structural Drying in Catawba is treated as a specialty, not a side offering. We carry full liability coverage and hold active licensing to operate throughout Catawba, SC.
Equipment lives in a Catawba-area warehouse rather than being trucked in from three counties over, which shortens arrival time considerably.
Anyone in Catawba 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.
We also invest in ongoing technician training, since restoration methods and equipment keep evolving and a Catawba crew running outdated techniques does the property a disservice.
Plenty of the worst jobs we've walked into in Catawba started as something small that got put off for a few weeks. Here's what tells our team a Catawba property needs a professional look rather than a mop and a fan:
If you're nodding along, get ahead of it now — our Catawba dispatcher will tell you honestly whether it's urgent or something we can schedule.
We don't run a one-size response in Catawba — a contained bathroom leak gets a different crew than a flooded restaurant kitchen. Every service below reflects a specific piece of equipment or protocol, not just a marketing category.
Our Catawba units carry truck-mount extraction pumps that pull standing water out fast, cutting exposure time from days to hours. Moisture mapping follows every extraction so we know which materials are still holding water once the visible flooding is gone.
We calculate drying needs using humidity and temperature data rather than guessing at equipment placement, with daily logs so you can watch the numbers improve.
On the residential side in Catawba, we handle the flood cut, subfloor checks, and content pack-out so the home is ready for rebuild, with photo documentation at every stage for your insurance file.
Multi-unit and commercial properties in Catawba get their own project manager plus enough drying equipment for the real square footage, not a token setup — a flooded lobby or a leaking unit above tenants has to move fast.
When a Catawba job involves sewage backup, our team suits up fully, applies EPA-registered antimicrobials, and disposes of porous materials that can't be saved.
Every Catawba 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 Catawba property, not a mystery total after the fact.

Tell our Catawba dispatcher what's happening — a few quick questions get the right equipment on the first trip.
A licensed technician heads to your Catawba address with extraction and drying equipment already loaded.
We extract immediately, followed by a moisture survey that tells us precisely where Catawba drying equipment needs to go.
We don't close the Catawba file until the numbers confirm the structure is dry, with full photo and moisture documentation in hand.
We measure moisture with instruments, not guesswork, and won't sign off on a Catawba job until readings match the dry standard for the materials involved. If a callback within 30 days shows lingering moisture from the same loss, we return and correct it at no additional charge.
That commitment is written into every Catawba work order we issue, not just mentioned in a sales pitch. We try to return the same crew for any callback so the person handling it already knows the property and the original readings.
A guarantee only means something if it's backed by documented numbers, which is why every Catawba job closes with instrument readings attached.
