Hirex Water Damage started because homeowners in Alton, IA kept telling us the same story: a national hotline picked up, put them on hold, and then subcontracted the job out to whoever was cheapest and closest. Every technician on our Alton roster is a Hirex Water Damage employee, not a gig-app contractor pulled from a random directory.
Our crew leads carry IICRC water restoration certifications and have logged real hours on Category 1, 2, and 3 losses, so Water Damage Repair in Alton isn't a side service we tacked on — it's the reason the company exists. Full liability coverage and Alton, IA licensing back every job we take, so you're protected from the moment our truck pulls into the driveway.
Our Alton, IA-based equipment cache means drying gear is already close by, not stuck in a truck three states away.
