Whether it's a slow drip that finally gave out or a sudden flood at midnight, Star residents call one number and get a real answer. We built our Star dispatch around speed, because every extra hour of standing water costs more to repair.
Hirex Water Damage didn't start as a franchise looking for a new zip code to expand into — it started because Star homeowners kept describing the same frustrating experience: a national hotline, a long hold, and a subcontractor nobody vetted. Every technician you'll meet is a direct Hirex Water Damage employee, not a subcontractor pulled from an app.
Our lead technicians hold IICRC water restoration certification and have worked jobs ranging from a single soaked bedroom to a fully flooded commercial floor, which is why Structural Drying in Star is treated as a specialty, not a side offering. Full insurance and Star, ID licensing back every job we take in Star.
Equipment lives in a Star-area warehouse rather than being trucked in from three counties over, which shortens arrival time considerably.
Talk to a Star landlord who's lived through a burst supply line at 3am and they'll confirm that response speed, not just skill, determines how much a job ends up costing. That gap between a fast, equipped response and a slow, improvised one is exactly what Hirex Water Damage was built to close.
We also invest in ongoing technician training, since restoration methods and equipment keep evolving and a Star crew running outdated techniques does the property a disservice.
Plenty of the worst jobs we've walked into in Star started as something small that got put off for a few weeks. Here's what tells our team a Star property needs a professional look rather than a mop and a fan:
If you're nodding along, get ahead of it now — our Star dispatcher will tell you honestly whether it's urgent or something we can schedule.
Whether it's a small residential leak or a large commercial loss, our Star teams size the crew and equipment to fit. Each item on this list corresponds to an actual step in our process, not a generic label.
Our Star units carry truck-mount extraction pumps that pull standing water out fast, cutting exposure time from days to hours. Moisture mapping follows every extraction so we know which materials are still holding water once the visible flooding is gone.
Once extraction wraps, commercial air movers and LGR dehumidifiers go to work based on psychrometric readings, not a flat per-room count, with daily logs so you can watch the numbers improve.
On the residential side in Star, we handle the flood cut, subfloor checks, and content pack-out so the home is ready for rebuild, with photo documentation at every stage for your insurance file.
Multi-unit and commercial properties in Star get their own project manager plus enough drying equipment for the real square footage, not a token setup — a flooded lobby or a leaking unit above tenants has to move fast.
Category 3 blackwater calls for full PPE, antimicrobial treatment, and disposal of anything porous that touched the contamination — our Star crews are trained for that exact protocol.
On top of standard drying, our Star crews apply antimicrobial treatment and will tell you plainly if a section needs specialist attention.
Every Star estimate is written and explained up front — no vague "we'll see how it goes" pricing.
Response times in Star usually beat the industry average by a wide margin thanks to local equipment.
We document every Star job with photos and moisture logs and can speak directly with your adjuster.
We don't call a Star job finished until the meter agrees, and if it doesn't, we return at no additional cost.
A short call tells us whether your Star job needs one technician or a full crew before anyone drives out.
The closest available Star technician is routed to you with equipment staged and ready.
We extract immediately, followed by a moisture survey that tells us precisely where Star drying equipment needs to go.
Daily moisture checks continue on every Star job until each material reads dry, and you get a full report at the end.
Every Star job closes based on instrument readings, not a visual check, and we won't call it finished until the numbers say so. If a callback within 30 days shows lingering moisture from the same loss, we return and correct it at no additional charge.
We put the guarantee directly on the work order for every Star job, in writing. We try to return the same crew for any callback so the person handling it already knows the property and the original readings.
We built this guarantee because Star property owners deserve more than a verbal assurance that a job is done — they deserve proof.
"We had standing water from a burst water heater and the technician arrived before I finished mopping the entryway." — Renata H.
"I didn't touch the insurance paperwork once — they sent it straight to our adjuster." — Marcus D.
"They showed me the moisture readings so I wasn't just trusting a stranger's word the house was dry." — Priya K.
"They worked overnight so our restaurant wasn't closed any longer than necessary." — Aaron F.
"They walked me through the PPE and containment steps for our sewage backup without making it feel like a bigger disaster." — Lena V.

Most Star dispatches are on-site within 60-90 minutes since our crews aren't traveling from out of state.
Yes — every Star job gets a written estimate before equipment is turned on, walked through line by line.
Around-the-clock Star coverage includes extraction, drying, and Category 3 sewage response — nothing on that list waits for morning.
Yes, we document everything with photos and moisture readings and can speak directly with your adjuster.
We take moisture meter readings and compare them against the dry standard for that material — a visual check alone isn't enough.
Yes, our Star crews are trained and equipped for Category 3 blackwater response, including PPE and antimicrobial treatment.
If it's safe, shut off the water source, move valuables away from the affected area, and avoid standing water near outlets.
Commercial response is a regular part of our Star work — restaurants and multi-unit buildings included.
Typical drying runs 3-5 days for a Star home, though a job left unaddressed longer can take more time.
Mold isn't inevitable if extraction and drying start fast, which is why we treat speed as core to the Star service.
Yes, if moisture readings aren't at dry standard when we finish, or a callback shows lingering moisture within 30 days, we return at no charge.
See the zip codes and nearby cities listed below — our Star crews cover that full radius.
Not necessarily — many Star customers arrange access for our daily check-ins while they're at work, and we coordinate scheduling around that.
Beyond Star itself, coverage extends across nearby zip codes, with additional Star, ID crews available for large-scale or commercial losses. If your address falls inside or near Star, a Hirex Water Damage crew can typically respond the same day.
We've worked enough Star properties across different neighborhoods to recognize patterns specific to certain building eras and construction types.
