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 Star-based teams arrive with truck-mount extractors, moisture meters, and drying gear staged and ready to go.
Too many Star, NC families have called a big national number only to get bounced through hold music before a random subcontractor shows up hours later, so Hirex Water Damage built its Star operation differently. Every technician on our Star 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 Structural Drying in Star 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 Star, NC, so you're protected from the moment our truck pulls into the driveway.
We keep a stocked warehouse inside Star, NC so equipment never has to be trucked in from another region, which is the difference between a 45-minute arrival and a next-day one.
Talk to a Star property manager who's lived through an overnight pipe failure and they'll tell you exactly why a crew that arrives already equipped matters — every extra minute is more water in the framing. That's the gap Hirex Water Damage was built to close, one Star call at a time.
Water damage doesn't always look dramatic at first — some of the costliest Star jobs we've handled began as a small, easy-to-miss problem. Here's what tells us a property needs professional attention rather than a mop and a fan:
If you're nodding along to any of these, get ahead of it now rather than later — our Star dispatcher will give you an honest read on urgency, not a sales pitch.
We size the Star response to the actual damage — a single-room extraction gets a two-person crew, a commercial loss gets the full fleet — nothing gets a cookie-cutter response.
We arrive with submersible pumps and truck-mount extractors that get standing water out of a Star property before it soaks deeper into the subfloor. 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.
For Star 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 Star 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 Star crews are trained for exactly that protocol.
We apply antimicrobial treatment during every Star drying job specifically to head off mold before it starts, and we'll flag any area that needs deeper remediation.
You get a written estimate before any equipment runs, not a mystery total handed to you after the fact.
Local staging inside Star, NC means Star response times usually beat the national average by a wide margin.
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.
A short call with our Star dispatcher tells us whether this is a one-room job or a multi-crew response before anyone drives out.
The closest available technician is routed to your Star property with equipment staged and ready.
Standing water comes out first; drying equipment gets placed only after we've mapped exactly where moisture is hiding.
We don't close the file until the numbers confirm the structure is dry, and you leave with full photo and moisture documentation.
Our Star 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 Star 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.

Around-the-clock coverage in Star 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 communicate directly with your adjuster.
We take moisture meter readings on affected materials and compare them against the dry standard for that material type — a visual check alone isn't enough.
We regularly handle sewage backups in Star using full containment, PPE, and EPA-registered antimicrobial products.
Cut power to the affected area if there's standing water near outlets, and avoid walking through it until our Star tech confirms it's safe.
We scale crews and equipment for commercial Star accounts and assign a dedicated project lead for anything beyond a single unit.
Drying time varies with material and how quickly extraction started, but 3 to 5 days is typical for most Star jobs.
Mold isn't inevitable, but the window to prevent it is narrow, which is why we treat speed as part of the Star service, not an upsell.
Our Star guarantee covers a 30-day callback window — if moisture shows up again from the same loss, we come back free of charge.
