A cracked supply line or an overflowing appliance doesn't check the clock before it ruins a floor. We built our Star 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 Star 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 Star crew leads have logged real hours on clean, gray, and contaminated water losses, which is why Water Removal in Star is treated as a specialty, not a side offering. Full insurance and Star, NC licensing back every job we take in Star.
Local equipment staging is the difference between a 45-minute arrival and a next-morning one for Star calls.
Talk to a Star 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 Star as the equipment itself, which is why training isn't a one-time certification and done.

The Star jobs that end up gutting a room almost always started quiet, not with a flood. Here's what tells our team a Star property needs a professional look rather than a mop and a fan:
Recognizing one of these early is the difference between a contained repair and a gutted room, so reach out to our Star team before it spreads.
We don't run a one-size response in Star — a contained bathroom leak gets a different crew than a flooded restaurant kitchen. We list these as distinct services because each genuinely requires different tools and training, not interchangeable labor.
Truck-mount extraction on every Star 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.
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 Star, 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 Star 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.
Category 3 blackwater calls for full PPE, antimicrobial treatment, and disposal of anything porous that touched the contamination — our Star crews are trained for that exact protocol.
On top of standard drying, our Star 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 Star property, not a mystery total after the fact.
Because equipment is staged inside Star, most calls see a technician on-site in under an hour.
Our paperwork is built to match what Star, NC adjusters expect, so you're not stuck translating restoration jargon.
We don't call a Star job finished until the meter agrees, and if it doesn't, we return at no additional cost.
A short call tells us whether your Star job needs one technician or a full crew before anyone drives out.
A licensed technician heads to your Star address with extraction and drying equipment already loaded.
Extraction happens right away, with drying equipment placed only after moisture mapping is complete.
Daily moisture checks continue on every Star job until each material reads dry, and you get a full report at the end.

Our Star technicians take moisture readings at the start and end of every job, and the final number has to hit dry standard before we leave. 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 Star 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.
Trust matters, but in restoration work, documented moisture readings matter more, and that's what our Star guarantee is built on.
