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 Ceiling Water Damage Repair in Old Lyme is treated as a specialty, not a side offering. Full insurance and Old Lyme, CT licensing back every job we take in Old Lyme.
Equipment lives in a Old Lyme-area warehouse rather than being trucked in from three counties over, which shortens arrival time considerably.
Anyone in Old Lyme 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.
Staying current on restoration techniques matters as much in Old Lyme as the equipment itself, which is why training isn't a one-time certification and done.
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:
Recognizing one of these early is the difference between a contained repair and a gutted room, so reach out to our Old Lyme team before it spreads.
We don't run a one-size response in Old Lyme — a contained bathroom leak gets a different crew than a flooded restaurant kitchen. Each item on this list corresponds to an actual step in our process, not a generic label.
Our Old Lyme 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 Old Lyme families, our scope covers flood-cut work, subfloor evaluation, and packing out belongings that can be cleaned and restored, with photo documentation at every stage for your insurance file.

Extraction happens right away, with drying equipment placed only after moisture mapping is complete.
We re-check moisture daily until materials hit dry standard, then hand you full documentation for your records.
Our Old Lyme technicians take moisture readings at the start and end of every job, and the final number has to hit dry standard before we leave. If a callback within 30 days shows lingering moisture from the same loss, we return and correct it at no additional charge.
We put the guarantee directly on the work order for every Old Lyme job, in writing. 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.
