Water damage in Old Lyme rarely waits for a convenient hour, and neither does our dispatch line. We built our Old Lyme 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 Old Lyme 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.
Certification isn't just a logo on our site — our Old Lyme crew leads have logged real hours on clean, gray, and contaminated water losses, which is why Water Damage Repair in Old Lyme is treated as a specialty, not a side offering. We carry full liability coverage and hold active licensing to operate throughout Old Lyme, CT.
Local equipment staging is the difference between a 45-minute arrival and a next-morning one for Old Lyme calls.
Talk to a Old Lyme landlord who's lived through a burst supply line at 3am and they'll confirm that response speed, not just skill, determines how much a job ends up costing. 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in ongoing technician training, since restoration methods and equipment keep evolving and a Old Lyme crew running outdated techniques does the property a disservice.
Not every water problem looks dramatic — some of the costliest Old Lyme repairs began as a barely-noticeable issue. Here's what tells our team a Old Lyme 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 Old Lyme line and we'll give you a straight answer on urgency.
We don't run a one-size response in Old Lyme — a contained bathroom leak gets a different crew than a flooded restaurant kitchen. We list these as distinct services because each genuinely requires different tools and training, not interchangeable labor.
Truck-mount extraction on every Old Lyme 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.
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 Old Lyme 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 Old Lyme 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 Old Lyme crews are trained for that exact protocol.
On top of standard drying, our Old Lyme crews apply antimicrobial treatment and will tell you plainly if a section needs specialist attention.
We quote every Old Lyme job before equipment gets plugged in, so there's no surprise charge buried in the final invoice.
Response times in Old Lyme usually beat the industry average by a wide margin thanks to local equipment.
We photograph and log every step so your Old Lyme claim moves faster and you're not arguing with an insurer alone.
We don't call a Old Lyme job finished until the meter agrees, and if it doesn't, we return at no additional cost.
Our Old Lyme team asks just enough to send the right-sized crew, not a generic single technician every time.
Our nearest available Old Lyme crew is dispatched immediately with truck-mount gear on board.
We extract immediately, followed by a moisture survey that tells us precisely where Old Lyme drying equipment needs to go.
We re-check moisture daily until materials hit dry standard, then hand you full documentation for your records.
Every Old Lyme job closes based on instrument readings, not a visual check, and we won't call it finished until the numbers say so. 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 Old Lyme work order we issue, not just mentioned in a sales pitch. If a follow-up visit is ever needed, we send a technician familiar with the original job whenever scheduling allows, so you're not re-explaining the situation to someone new.
A guarantee only means something if it's backed by documented numbers, which is why every Old Lyme job closes with instrument readings attached.
