A burst supply line, an overflowing tub, or a storm surge under the back door doesn't wait for business hours, and neither do we. Our Shafer-based teams arrive with truck-mount extractors, moisture meters, and drying gear staged and ready to go.
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.
Our senior technicians are IICRC-certified and have worked everything from a clean supply-line break to a full sewage backup, so Flood Damage Repair in Shafer isn't a side service we tacked on — it's the reason the company exists. Full liability coverage and Shafer, MN licensing back every job we take, 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.
Ask any Shafer property manager who has dealt with a burst supply line at 3am — the difference between a crew that shows up ready and one still loading a truck at the shop is measured in gallons of water soaking into your subfloor. That's the gap Hirex Water Damage was built to close, one Shafer call at a time.
The most expensive Shafer restoration jobs we run almost never started as a dramatic flood; they started as something small that got put off. 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.
From a single soaked bedroom to a commercial building with three flooded floors, our Shafer teams are equipped to scale up or down — nothing gets a cookie-cutter response.
Our Shafer units run truck-mount extraction pumps that pull thousands of gallons per hour, cutting standing-water time from days to hours. 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 Shafer 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.
Multi-unit and commercial Shafer properties get their own project manager plus enough drying equipment to cover the real square footage, not a token setup — 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.
We quote the job before equipment gets plugged in, so there's no surprise line item buried in the final invoice.
Because our equipment cache sits inside Shafer, MN, most Shafer calls see a technician on-site in under 60 minutes.
We photograph and log every step specifically so your claim moves faster and you're not the one arguing with the insurance company.
If moisture readings aren't where they should be at the end of the job, we come back and keep drying at no extra charge.
Our Shafer team asks a handful of targeted questions so the truck that shows up already has the right gear loaded.
A licensed technician heads to your Shafer address with extraction and drying equipment already loaded.
Extraction happens immediately, followed by a moisture survey that tells us precisely where the drying equipment needs to go.
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.
You'll find that exact commitment printed on your Shafer paperwork, not just mentioned over the phone. If a second visit is ever needed, it comes from the same crew that handled the original job whenever scheduling allows, since they already know the property and the readings we started from.

Most Shafer dispatches are on-site within 60-90 minutes since our crews and equipment are based in-state, not flown or trucked in from elsewhere.
We always quote first. You'll see a written estimate for the Shafer job before any drying equipment starts running.
Emergency extraction, structural drying, and sewage/contaminated water cleanup are all available 24/7 for Shafer properties.
Direct adjuster communication is standard — we send photo and moisture documentation formatted for a Shafer insurance claim.

Cut power to the affected area if there's standing water near outlets, and avoid walking through it until our Shafer tech confirms it's safe.
Commercial response is a regular part of our Shafer work — restaurants, offices, and multi-unit buildings included.
Typical drying time runs 3-5 days for a Shafer home, though a job that sat unaddressed longer can take longer to fully dry.
Not if it's addressed quickly — mold generally needs 24-48 hours of sustained moisture, which is exactly why fast extraction matters.
Our Shafer guarantee covers a 30-day callback window — if moisture shows up again from the same loss, we come back free of charge.
