A cracked supply line or an overflowing appliance doesn't check the clock before it ruins a floor. We built our Andover 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 Andover 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.
Our lead technicians hold IICRC water restoration certification and have worked jobs ranging from a single soaked bedroom to a fully flooded commercial floor, which is why Structural Drying in Andover is treated as a specialty, not a side offering. We carry full liability coverage and hold active licensing to operate throughout Andover, ME.
Equipment lives in a Andover-area warehouse rather than being trucked in from three counties over, which shortens arrival time considerably.
Ask any Andover property manager who's dealt with an overnight pipe failure and they'll tell you the real cost isn't the leak itself — it's how long standing water sits before someone with the right equipment shows up. 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 Andover as the equipment itself, which is why training isn't a one-time certification and done.
Plenty of the worst jobs we've walked into in Andover started as something small that got put off for a few weeks. Here's what tells our team a Andover 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 Andover line and we'll give you a straight answer on urgency.
We don't run a one-size response in Andover — 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.
We arrive with submersible pumps and truck-mount extractors built to clear a flooded Andover 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.
Our drying plans rely on moisture meters and thermal imaging to target air movers exactly where hidden Andover moisture is trapped, with daily logs so you can watch the numbers improve.
For Andover homeowners, that means flood-cut drywall removal, subfloor assessment, and content pack-out for anything salvageable, with photo documentation at every stage for your insurance file.
For commercial Andover 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 Andover job involves sewage backup, our team suits up fully, applies EPA-registered antimicrobials, and disposes of porous materials that can't be saved.
Every Andover drying job includes preventive antimicrobial application aimed at heading off mold before it starts.
You'll see a written estimate before any equipment runs on your Andover property, not a mystery total after the fact.
Response times in Andover usually beat the industry average by a wide margin thanks to local equipment.
We document every Andover job with photos and moisture logs and can speak directly with your adjuster.
If moisture readings aren't where they should be at the end of a Andover job, we come back and keep drying at no extra charge.
Tell our Andover dispatcher what's happening — a few quick questions get the right equipment on the first trip.
A licensed technician heads to your Andover address with extraction and drying equipment already loaded.
Standing water comes out first, then we map moisture and position air movers based on the readings.
We re-check moisture daily until materials hit dry standard, then hand you full documentation for your records.
Every Andover job closes based on instrument readings, not a visual check, and we won't call it finished until the numbers say so. 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 Andover job, in writing. 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 Andover job closes with instrument readings attached.

We always quote first; you'll see a written estimate for the Andover job before drying equipment starts running.
Around-the-clock Andover coverage includes extraction, drying, and Category 3 sewage response — nothing on that list waits for morning.
Direct adjuster communication is standard, and we'll send documentation formatted for a Andover insurance claim.
We rely on moisture meters and psychrometric data, not a guess, before signing off on a Andover job.
We regularly handle sewage backups in Andover using full containment and EPA-registered products.
If it's safe, shut off the water source, move valuables away from the affected area, and avoid standing water near outlets.
We scale crews and equipment for commercial Andover accounts and assign a dedicated project lead beyond a single unit.
Most Andover residential jobs dry out in 3 to 5 days depending on how much material got wet.
Mold isn't inevitable if extraction and drying start fast, which is why we treat speed as core to the Andover service.
Our Andover guarantee covers a 30-day callback window tied to the original loss.

Knowing Andover's neighborhoods matters more than it might seem — older sections of town often have different plumbing and foundation quirks than newer developments, and our crews adjust accordingly.
