Whether it's a slow drip that finally gave out or a sudden flood at midnight, Waubun residents call one number and get a real answer. Our Waubun-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 Waubun 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 Waubun is treated as a specialty, not a side offering. Full insurance and Waubun, MN licensing back every job we take in Waubun.
Local equipment staging is the difference between a 45-minute arrival and a next-morning one for Waubun calls.
Talk to a Waubun 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invest in ongoing technician training, since restoration methods and equipment keep evolving and a Waubun crew running outdated techniques does the property a disservice.
The Waubun jobs that end up gutting a room almost always started quiet, not with a flood. Here's what tells our team a Waubun property needs a professional look rather than a mop and a fan:
If you're nodding along, get ahead of it now — our Waubun 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 Waubun 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 Waubun 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.
Our drying plans rely on moisture meters and thermal imaging to target air movers exactly where hidden Waubun moisture is trapped, with daily logs so you can watch the numbers improve.
For Waubun 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.
Waubun businesses and property managers get a dedicated project lead, after-hours crews, and equipment scaled to square footage — a flooded lobby or a leaking unit above tenants has to move fast.

Every Waubun drying job includes preventive antimicrobial application aimed at heading off mold before it starts.

Daily moisture checks continue on every Waubun job until each material reads dry, and you get a full report at the end.
Every Waubun 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.
You'll find that exact guarantee printed on your Waubun paperwork, not only spoken over the phone. We try to return the same crew for any callback so the person handling it already knows the property and the original readings.
A guarantee only means something if it's backed by documented numbers, which is why every Waubun job closes with instrument readings attached.
