Pipes don't wait for daylight to fail, and our Hico dispatch team doesn't wait for morning to respond. We dispatch Hico units carrying industrial extraction pumps, air movers, and commercial dehumidifiers already loaded on the truck.
We built our Hico branch after hearing the same complaint over and over from Hico, WV property owners — the "24/7" number that never actually answers. Every technician on our Hico roster is a Hirex Water Damage employee, not a gig-app contractor pulled from a random directory.
Our crew leads carry IICRC water restoration certifications and have logged real hours on Category 1, 2, and 3 losses, so Structural Drying in Hico 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 Hico, WV, so you're protected from the moment our truck pulls into the driveway.
Because our equipment lives in a Hico, WV warehouse rather than out of state, we're not waiting on a supply run before we can start extraction.
Ask any Hico 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 Hico call at a time.
Not every leak announces itself with a flooded floor. A lot of the worst damage we see in Hico 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 Hico 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 Hico crews scale the response to match the loss — nothing gets a cookie-cutter response.
Truck-mounted extraction equipment on every Hico 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.
Once water is out, we bring in commercial air movers and LGR dehumidifiers, positioned using psychrometric readings rather than guesswork, with daily drying logs so you can see the numbers improving, not just take our word for it.
On the residential side in Hico, we handle the flood-cut, subfloor checks, and content pack-out so your home is ready to rebuild, with clear photo documentation at every stage for your insurance claim.
For commercial Hico accounts, we assign a project lead, run crews after normal hours to reduce downtime, and bring equipment sized to the actual footprint — 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 Hico crews are trained for exactly that protocol.
On top of standard drying, our Hico crews treat affected materials to reduce mold risk and will be upfront if a section needs specialist remediation.
We quote the job before equipment gets plugged in, so there's no surprise line item buried in the final invoice.
Our Hico, WV warehouse keeps drying equipment close, which typically puts a Hico tech at your door inside an hour.
We document everything with photos and moisture logs and work directly with your adjuster so you're not stuck translating restoration jargon.
We don't call a job finished until the moisture meter agrees, and if it doesn't, we return at no additional cost.
A short call with our Hico dispatcher tells us whether this is a one-room job or a multi-crew response before anyone drives out.
Our nearest available Hico crew is dispatched immediately with truck-mount extraction gear on board.
Extraction happens immediately, followed by a moisture survey that tells us precisely where the drying equipment needs to go.
We re-check moisture levels daily until materials hit dry standard, then hand you full documentation for your records or your insurer.
Our Hico technicians use moisture meters at the start and the end of every job, and the final number has to hit the dry standard before we leave. 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 Hico work order, not just in an ad. We try to send the original technician back for any follow-up so you're not re-explaining the job to someone new.

If it's safe, shut off the water source, move electronics and valuables away from the affected area, and avoid the space if standing water is near outlets.
Commercial response is a regular part of our Hico work — restaurants, offices, and multi-unit buildings included.
Drying time varies with material and how quickly extraction started, but 3 to 5 days is typical for most Hico jobs.
Quick extraction and drying in Hico significantly lowers mold risk, since spores need sustained moisture over roughly a day or two to establish.
