Water damage in New Ulm rarely waits for a convenient hour, and neither does our dispatch line. Our New Ulm-based teams roll out with extraction and drying gear already loaded, not scrambling to gather it after the call.
Hirex Water Damage didn't start as a franchise looking for a new zip code to expand into — it started because New Ulm 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 Flood Damage Cleanup in New Ulm is treated as a specialty, not a side offering. We carry full liability coverage and hold active licensing to operate throughout New Ulm, MN.
Local equipment staging is the difference between a 45-minute arrival and a next-morning one for New Ulm calls.
Ask any New Ulm property manager who's dealt with an overnight pipe failure and they'll tell you the real cost isn't the leak itself — it's how long standing water sits before someone with the right equipment shows up. 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invest in ongoing technician training, since restoration methods and equipment keep evolving and a New Ulm crew running outdated techniques does the property a disservice.
Not every water problem looks dramatic — some of the costliest New Ulm repairs began as a barely-noticeable issue. Here's what tells our team a New Ulm property needs a professional look rather than a mop and a fan:
Recognizing one of these early is the difference between a contained repair and a gutted room, so reach out to our New Ulm team before it spreads.
From a single flooded closet to a three-story commercial building, our New Ulm crews scale the response to match the actual damage. We list these as distinct services because each genuinely requires different tools and training, not interchangeable labor.
Truck-mount extraction on every New Ulm rig means high-volume pickup starts the same day, not the next. Moisture mapping follows every extraction so we know which materials are still holding water once the visible flooding is gone.
Our drying plans rely on moisture meters and thermal imaging to target air movers exactly where hidden New Ulm moisture is trapped, with daily logs so you can watch the numbers improve.
For New Ulm families, our scope covers flood-cut work, subfloor evaluation, and packing out belongings that can be cleaned and restored, with photo documentation at every stage for your insurance file.
Multi-unit and commercial properties in New Ulm 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.
Blackwater losses in New Ulm get handled under strict Category 3 protocol from containment through documented disposal.
We treat affected materials during every New Ulm job specifically to lower mold risk, and flag anything that needs deeper remediation.
You'll see a written estimate before any equipment runs on your New Ulm property, not a mystery total after the fact.

Standing water comes out first, then we map moisture and position air movers based on the readings.
We don't close the New Ulm file until the numbers confirm the structure is dry, with full photo and moisture documentation in hand.
We measure moisture with instruments, not guesswork, and won't sign off on a New Ulm job until readings match the dry standard for the materials involved. 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 New Ulm job, in writing. If a follow-up visit is ever needed, we send a technician familiar with the original job whenever scheduling allows, so you're not re-explaining the situation to someone new.
A guarantee only means something if it's backed by documented numbers, which is why every New Ulm job closes with instrument readings attached.
