Whether it's a slow drip that finally gave out or a sudden flood at midnight, University Place residents call one number and get a real answer. Hirex Water Damage keeps Structural Drying crews and equipment staged inside University Place so a technician can be at your door quickly.
We built Hirex Water Damage's University Place 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 University Place crew leads have logged real hours on clean, gray, and contaminated water losses, which is why Structural Drying in University Place is treated as a specialty, not a side offering. We carry full liability coverage and hold active licensing to operate throughout University Place, WA.
Because our gear is staged locally rather than shipped in, University Place response times run well ahead of a typical national franchise.
Talk to a University Place 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.
Our University Place technicians go through regular continuing education, because a method that was standard five years ago may not be the best option today.
The University Place jobs that end up gutting a room almost always started quiet, not with a flood. Here's what tells our team a University Place 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 University Place line and we'll give you a straight answer on urgency.
Whether it's a small residential leak or a large commercial loss, our University Place teams size the crew and equipment to fit. We list these as distinct services because each genuinely requires different tools and training, not interchangeable labor.
We arrive with submersible pumps and truck-mount extractors built to clear a flooded University Place room before water soaks deeper into the subfloor. Moisture mapping follows every extraction so we know which materials are still holding water once the visible flooding is gone.
Once extraction wraps, commercial air movers and LGR dehumidifiers go to work based on psychrometric readings, not a flat per-room count, with daily logs so you can watch the numbers improve.
On the residential side in University Place, we handle the flood cut, subfloor checks, and content pack-out so the home is ready for rebuild, with photo documentation at every stage for your insurance file.
Multi-unit and commercial properties in University Place 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.

On top of standard drying, our University Place crews apply antimicrobial treatment and will tell you plainly if a section needs specialist attention.

You'll find that exact guarantee printed on your University Place paperwork, not only spoken over the phone. 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.
