Hirex Water Damage started because homeowners in Smithton, IL 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 Smithton 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 Smithton isn't a side service we tacked on — it's the reason the company exists. Full liability coverage and Smithton, IL licensing back every job we take, so you're protected from the moment our truck pulls into the driveway.
Our Smithton, IL-based equipment cache means drying gear is already close by, not stuck in a truck three states away.

We place industrial dehumidifiers and air movers based on actual psychrometric calculations, not a standard equipment count per room, with daily drying logs so you can see the numbers improving, not just take our word for it.
