A cracked supply line or an overflowing appliance doesn't check the clock before it ruins a floor. Hirex Water Damage keeps Structural Drying crews and equipment staged inside Curlew 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 Curlew 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.
Each senior tech on our Curlew roster is IICRC-certified and has handled everything from a clean supply-line break to a full Category 3 sewage loss, which is why Structural Drying in Curlew is treated as a specialty, not a side offering. Full insurance and Curlew, WA licensing back every job we take in Curlew.
Because our gear is staged locally rather than shipped in, Curlew response times run well ahead of a typical national franchise.
Ask any Curlew property manager who's dealt with an overnight pipe failure and they'll tell you the real cost isn't the leak itself — it's how long standing water sits before someone with the right equipment shows up. 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 Curlew as the equipment itself, which is why training isn't a one-time certification and done.
The Curlew jobs that end up gutting a room almost always started quiet, not with a flood. Here's what tells our team a Curlew 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 Curlew team before it spreads.
From a single flooded closet to a three-story commercial building, our Curlew crews scale the response to match the actual damage. Each item on this list corresponds to an actual step in our process, not a generic label.
Our Curlew 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.
For Curlew 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.
For commercial Curlew accounts, we assign a lead, run crews outside normal hours to limit downtime, and size equipment to the actual footprint — a flooded lobby or a leaking unit above tenants has to move fast.
When a Curlew job involves sewage backup, our team suits up fully, applies EPA-registered antimicrobials, and disposes of porous materials that can't be saved.
We treat affected materials during every Curlew job specifically to lower mold risk, and flag anything that needs deeper remediation.
We quote every Curlew job before equipment gets plugged in, so there's no surprise charge buried in the final invoice.
Because equipment is staged inside Curlew, most calls see a technician on-site in under an hour.
We photograph and log every step so your Curlew claim moves faster and you're not arguing with an insurer alone.
We don't call a Curlew job finished until the meter agrees, and if it doesn't, we return at no additional cost.
A short call tells us whether your Curlew job needs one technician or a full crew before anyone drives out.
Our nearest available Curlew crew is dispatched immediately with truck-mount gear on board.
Standing water comes out first, then we map moisture and position air movers based on the readings.
We don't close the Curlew 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 Curlew 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.
You'll find that exact guarantee printed on your Curlew paperwork, not only spoken over the phone. A repeat visit under this guarantee means picking up exactly where the last one left off, not starting from scratch.
A guarantee only means something if it's backed by documented numbers, which is why every Curlew job closes with instrument readings attached.
