A cracked supply line or an overflowing appliance doesn't check the clock before it ruins a floor. We built our Thor 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 Thor 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 Thor crew leads have logged real hours on clean, gray, and contaminated water losses, which is why Structural Drying in Thor is treated as a specialty, not a side offering. You're protected from the moment our truck reaches your Thor address, thanks to full coverage and proper Thor, IA licensing.
Because our gear is staged locally rather than shipped in, Thor response times run well ahead of a typical national franchise.
Anyone in Thor who's had a mid-night plumbing failure knows that every extra minute of standing water means more material soaked through. That gap between a fast, equipped response and a slow, improvised one is exactly what Hirex Water Damage was built to close.
Our Thor technicians go through regular continuing education, because a method that was standard five years ago may not be the best option today.
Not every water problem looks dramatic — some of the costliest Thor repairs began as a barely-noticeable issue. Here's what tells our team a Thor 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 Thor team before it spreads.
We don't run a one-size response in Thor — 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.
Our Thor units carry truck-mount extraction pumps that pull standing water out fast, cutting exposure time from days to hours. 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.
For Thor 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.
Multi-unit and commercial properties in Thor 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.
When a Thor job involves sewage backup, our team suits up fully, applies EPA-registered antimicrobials, and disposes of porous materials that can't be saved.
On top of standard drying, our Thor crews apply antimicrobial treatment and will tell you plainly if a section needs specialist attention.
Every Thor estimate is written and explained up front — no vague "we'll see how it goes" pricing.
Because equipment is staged inside Thor, most calls see a technician on-site in under an hour.
We document every Thor job with photos and moisture logs and can speak directly with your adjuster.
Final moisture readings have to hit dry-standard before we consider any Thor job done, and getting there again is on us.
A short call tells us whether your Thor job needs one technician or a full crew before anyone drives out.
Our nearest available Thor crew is dispatched immediately with truck-mount gear on board.
Extraction happens right away, with drying equipment placed only after moisture mapping is complete.
Daily moisture checks continue on every Thor job until each material reads dry, and you get a full report at the end.
Every Thor 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.
That commitment is written into every Thor work order we issue, not just mentioned in a sales pitch. 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.
We built this guarantee because Thor property owners deserve more than a verbal assurance that a job is done — they deserve proof.
