Water damage in Matthews rarely waits for a convenient hour, and neither does our dispatch line. We built our Matthews dispatch around speed, because every extra hour of standing water costs more to repair.
Plenty of Matthews families have dialed a big national number and waited through hold music before a random contractor showed up hours later, and Hirex Water Damage exists specifically to fix that pattern. Every technician you'll meet is a direct Hirex Water Damage employee, not a subcontractor pulled from an app.
Each senior tech on our Matthews roster is IICRC-certified and has handled everything from a clean supply-line break to a full Category 3 sewage loss, which is why Emergency Water Damage in Matthews is treated as a specialty, not a side offering. Full insurance and Matthews, GA licensing back every job we take in Matthews.
Because our gear is staged locally rather than shipped in, Matthews response times run well ahead of a typical national franchise.
Anyone in Matthews 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.
Our Matthews technicians go through regular continuing education, because a method that was standard five years ago may not be the best option today.
Plenty of the worst jobs we've walked into in Matthews started as something small that got put off for a few weeks. Here's what tells our team a Matthews property needs a professional look rather than a mop and a fan:
If any of that sounds familiar, don't wait for it to get worse — call our Matthews line and we'll give you a straight answer on urgency.
Whether it's a small residential leak or a large commercial loss, our Matthews teams size the crew and equipment to fit. Each item on this list corresponds to an actual step in our process, not a generic label.
Our Matthews 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.
Once extraction wraps, commercial air movers and LGR dehumidifiers go to work based on psychrometric readings, not a flat per-room count, with daily logs so you can watch the numbers improve.
For Matthews 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.
Multi-unit and commercial properties in Matthews 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.
Category 3 blackwater calls for full PPE, antimicrobial treatment, and disposal of anything porous that touched the contamination — our Matthews crews are trained for that exact protocol.
Every Matthews drying job includes preventive antimicrobial application aimed at heading off mold before it starts.

We put the guarantee directly on the work order for every Matthews job, in writing. We try to return the same crew for any callback so the person handling it already knows the property and the original readings.
We built this guarantee because Matthews property owners deserve more than a verbal assurance that a job is done — they deserve proof.
