A cracked supply line or an overflowing appliance doesn't check the clock before it ruins a floor. We built our Old Lyme dispatch around speed, because every extra hour of standing water costs more to repair.
We built Hirex Water Damage's Old Lyme operation after hearing the same complaint over and over: the "24/7" number that never actually answers when it matters. 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.
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:
If you're nodding along, get ahead of it now — our Old Lyme dispatcher will tell you honestly whether it's urgent or something we can schedule.
Whether it's a small residential leak or a large commercial loss, our Old Lyme teams size the crew and equipment to fit. Every service below reflects a specific piece of equipment or protocol, not just a marketing category.
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.
Our drying plans rely on moisture meters and thermal imaging to target air movers exactly where hidden Old Lyme moisture is trapped, 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.
For commercial Old Lyme 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 Old Lyme job involves sewage backup, our team suits up fully, applies EPA-registered antimicrobials, and disposes of porous materials that can't be saved.
On top of standard drying, our Old Lyme crews apply antimicrobial treatment and will tell you plainly if a section needs specialist attention.
You'll see a written estimate before any equipment runs on your Old Lyme property, not a mystery total after the fact.
Response times in Old Lyme usually beat the industry average by a wide margin thanks to local equipment.
Our paperwork is built to match what Old Lyme, CT adjusters expect, so you're not stuck translating restoration jargon.
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.
The closest available Old Lyme technician is routed to you with equipment staged and ready.
We extract immediately, followed by a moisture survey that tells us precisely where Old Lyme drying equipment needs to go.
Daily moisture checks continue on every Old Lyme job until each material reads dry, and you get a full report at the end.
We measure moisture with instruments, not guesswork, and won't sign off on a Old Lyme 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.
That commitment is written into every Old Lyme work order we issue, not just mentioned in a sales pitch. We try to return the same crew for any callback so the person handling it already knows the property and the original readings.
A guarantee only means something if it's backed by documented numbers, which is why every Old Lyme job closes with instrument readings attached.
