Hirex Water Damage didn't start as a franchise looking for a new zip code to expand into — it started because University Place 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 University Place crew leads have logged real hours on clean, gray, and contaminated water losses, which is why Emergency Water Damage in University Place is treated as a specialty, not a side offering.
