Whether it's a slow leak that's been eating your subfloor for weeks or a flooded basement at 2am, our Mount Vernon crews are already moving. We dispatch Mount Vernon units carrying industrial extraction pumps, air movers, and commercial dehumidifiers already loaded on the truck.
Hirex Water Damage started because homeowners in Mount Vernon, 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 Mount Vernon 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 Flood Damage Repair in Mount Vernon isn't a side service we tacked on — it's the reason the company exists. We're fully insured and licensed to work anywhere in Mount Vernon, IA, so you're protected from the moment our truck pulls into the driveway.
Our Mount Vernon, IA-based equipment cache means drying gear is already close by, not stuck in a truck three states away.

If you're nodding along to any of these, get ahead of it now rather than later — our Mount Vernon dispatcher will give you an honest read on urgency, not a sales pitch.
We size the Mount Vernon response to the actual damage — a single-room extraction gets a two-person crew, a commercial loss gets the full fleet — nothing gets a cookie-cutter response.
Truck-mounted extraction equipment on every Mount Vernon rig pulls high volumes of standing water fast, so drying starts the same day instead of the next. Every extraction job includes moisture mapping so we know exactly which materials are still holding water once the visible flooding is gone.
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 Mount Vernon 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.
