Whether it's a slow drip that finally gave out or a sudden flood at midnight, Lombard residents call one number and get a real answer. Hirex Water Damage keeps Structural Drying crews and equipment staged inside Lombard so a technician can be at your door quickly.
Hirex Water Damage didn't start as a franchise looking for a new zip code to expand into — it started because Lombard 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 Lombard is treated as a specialty, not a side offering. We carry full liability coverage and hold active licensing to operate throughout Lombard, IL.
Because our gear is staged locally rather than shipped in, Lombard response times run well ahead of a typical national franchise.
Anyone in Lombard who's had a mid-night plumbing failure knows that every extra minute of standing water means more material soaked through. 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invest in ongoing technician training, since restoration methods and equipment keep evolving and a Lombard crew running outdated techniques does the property a disservice.
Plenty of the worst jobs we've walked into in Lombard started as something small that got put off for a few weeks. Here's what tells our team a Lombard 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 Lombard team before it spreads.
We don't run a one-size response in Lombard — a contained bathroom leak gets a different crew than a flooded restaurant kitchen. Each item on this list corresponds to an actual step in our process, not a generic label.
Truck-mount extraction on every Lombard 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.
We calculate drying needs using humidity and temperature data rather than guessing at equipment placement, with daily logs so you can watch the numbers improve.
For Lombard 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.
For commercial Lombard accounts, we assign a lead, run crews outside normal hours to limit downtime, and size equipment to the actual footprint — a flooded lobby or a leaking unit above tenants has to move fast.
When a Lombard job involves sewage backup, our team suits up fully, applies EPA-registered antimicrobials, and disposes of porous materials that can't be saved.
We treat affected materials during every Lombard job specifically to lower mold risk, and flag anything that needs deeper remediation.
We quote every Lombard job before equipment gets plugged in, so there's no surprise charge buried in the final invoice.
Response times in Lombard usually beat the industry average by a wide margin thanks to local equipment.
We document every Lombard job with photos and moisture logs and can speak directly with your adjuster.
Final moisture readings have to hit dry-standard before we consider any Lombard job done, and getting there again is on us.
A short call tells us whether your Lombard job needs one technician or a full crew before anyone drives out.
Our nearest available Lombard crew is dispatched immediately with truck-mount gear on board.
Extraction happens right away, with drying equipment placed only after moisture mapping is complete.
We don't close the Lombard file until the numbers confirm the structure is dry, with full photo and moisture documentation in hand.
Our Lombard technicians take moisture readings at the start and end of every job, and the final number has to hit dry standard before we leave. 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 Lombard job, in writing. A repeat visit under this guarantee means picking up exactly where the last one left off, not starting from scratch.
We built this guarantee because Lombard property owners deserve more than a verbal assurance that a job is done — they deserve proof.

Dryness is confirmed with instrument readings against a documented standard, not by feel.
Blackwater response is a core part of what our Lombard team does, not something we sub out.
Turn off the water supply if reachable, keep people and pets out of the flooded area, and skip running electronics nearby.
We scale crews and equipment for commercial Lombard accounts and assign a dedicated project lead beyond a single unit.
