Water damage in Afton rarely waits for a convenient hour, and neither does our dispatch line. Our Afton-based teams roll out with extraction and drying gear already loaded, not scrambling to gather it after the call.
Hirex Water Damage didn't start as a franchise looking for a new zip code to expand into — it started because Afton 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 Afton crew leads have logged real hours on clean, gray, and contaminated water losses, which is why Flood Damage Cleanup in Afton is treated as a specialty, not a side offering. You're protected from the moment our truck reaches your Afton address, thanks to full coverage and proper Afton, MN licensing.

Talk to a Afton 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 Afton technicians go through regular continuing education, because a method that was standard five years ago may not be the best option today.
Plenty of the worst jobs we've walked into in Afton started as something small that got put off for a few weeks. Here's what tells our team a Afton 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 Afton line and we'll give you a straight answer on urgency.
We don't run a one-size response in Afton — 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.
Truck-mount extraction on every Afton 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.
Our drying plans rely on moisture meters and thermal imaging to target air movers exactly where hidden Afton moisture is trapped, with daily logs so you can watch the numbers improve.
For Afton families, our scope covers flood-cut work, subfloor evaluation, and packing out belongings that can be cleaned and restored, with photo documentation at every stage for your insurance file.
Afton businesses and property managers get a dedicated project lead, after-hours crews, and equipment scaled to square footage — a flooded lobby or a leaking unit above tenants has to move fast.

You'll find that exact guarantee printed on your Afton paperwork, not only spoken over the phone. We try to return the same crew for any callback so the person handling it already knows the property and the original readings.
