Pipes don't wait for daylight to fail, and our Shafer dispatch team doesn't wait for morning to respond. Hirex Water Damage sends licensed technicians straight to your Shafer address with extraction equipment already loaded and running.
Hirex Water Damage started because homeowners in Shafer, MN 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 Shafer roster is a Hirex Water Damage employee, not a gig-app contractor pulled from a random directory.
Each lead tech holds an IICRC Water Restoration Technician certification and has personally handled clean-water, gray-water, and contaminated black-water losses, so Burst Pipe Cleanup in Shafer 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 Shafer, MN, so you're protected from the moment our truck pulls into the driveway.
Our Shafer, MN-based equipment cache means drying gear is already close by, not stuck in a truck three states away.
Talk to a Shafer property manager who's lived through an overnight pipe failure and they'll tell you exactly why a crew that arrives already equipped matters — every extra minute is more water in the framing. That's the gap Hirex Water Damage was built to close, one Shafer call at a time.
Not every leak announces itself with a flooded floor. A lot of the worst damage we see in Shafer started small and got ignored for weeks. Here's what tells us a property needs professional attention rather than a mop and a fan:
If any of that sounds familiar, don't wait for it to get worse — call our Shafer line and we'll tell you honestly whether it's a same-day emergency or something we can schedule.
Whether it's one bedroom carpet or an entire flooded commercial floor, our Shafer crews scale the response to match the loss — nothing gets a cookie-cutter response.
Truck-mounted extraction equipment on every Shafer 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.
We place industrial dehumidifiers and air movers based on actual psychrometric calculations, not a standard equipment count per room, with daily drying logs so you can see the numbers improving, not just take our word for it.
For families in Shafer, this covers flood-cut drywall removal, subfloor evaluation, and packing out salvageable belongings for cleaning, with clear photo documentation at every stage for your insurance claim.
Shafer businesses and property managers get a dedicated project lead, after-hours crews, and equipment scaled to square footage rather than a single-crew response — we know a flooded lobby or a leaking unit above tenants below has to move fast.
Category 3 blackwater calls for full PPE, antimicrobial treatment, and disposal of anything porous that touched the contamination — our Shafer crews are trained for exactly that protocol.
Every Shafer job includes a preventive antimicrobial application, and if we spot conditions that need full remediation we tell you plainly instead of quietly hoping it clears up.
You get a written estimate before any equipment runs, not a mystery total handed to you after the fact.

Daily moisture checks continue until every affected material reads dry, and you get a complete report at the end.
Every Shafer job gets closed based on instrument readings, not a visual check, and we won't call it finished until the numbers say it's finished. If a callback shows lingering moisture within 30 days of a completed job, we return and correct it at no additional charge.
We put that guarantee directly on the Shafer work order, not just in an ad. A repeat visit under this guarantee doesn't mean starting over — we pull the original moisture logs and pick up exactly where the last visit left off.
