Hirex Water Damage started because homeowners in North Charleston, SC 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 North Charleston roster is a Hirex Water Damage employee, not a gig-app contractor pulled from a random directory.
Our senior technicians are IICRC-certified and have worked everything from a clean supply-line break to a full sewage backup, so Emergency Water Damage in North Charleston isn't a side service we tacked on — it's the reason the company exists. We carry full general liability coverage and are licensed to operate throughout North Charleston, SC, so you're protected from the moment our truck pulls into the driveway.
We keep a stocked warehouse inside North Charleston, SC so equipment never has to be trucked in from another region, which is the difference between a 45-minute arrival and a next-day one.

Our drying plans use moisture meters and thermal imaging to target air movers exactly where hidden moisture is trapped, with daily drying logs so you can see the numbers improving, not just take our word for it.
For North Charleston homeowners, that means drywall removal at the flood cut line, subfloor assessment, and content pack-out for anything that can be saved, with clear photo documentation at every stage for your insurance claim.
