Whether it's a slow leak that's been eating your subfloor for weeks or a flooded basement at 2am, our Howard Lake crews are already moving. Hirex Water Damage sends licensed technicians straight to your Howard Lake address with extraction equipment already loaded and running.
Hirex Water Damage started because homeowners in Howard Lake, MN 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 Howard Lake 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 Emergency Water Damage in Howard Lake isn't a side service we tacked on — it's the reason the company exists. Full liability coverage and Howard Lake, MN licensing back every job we take, so you're protected from the moment our truck pulls into the driveway.

We arrive with submersible pumps and truck-mount extractors that get standing water out of a Howard Lake property before it soaks deeper into the subfloor. Every extraction job includes moisture mapping so we know exactly which materials are still holding water once the visible flooding is gone.
Once water is out, we bring in commercial air movers and LGR dehumidifiers, positioned using psychrometric readings rather than guesswork, with daily drying logs so you can see the numbers improving, not just take our word for it.
For Howard Lake homeowners, that means drywall removal at the flood cut line, subfloor assessment, and content pack-out for anything that can be saved, with clear photo documentation at every stage for your insurance claim.
