A cracked supply line or an overflowing appliance doesn't check the clock before it ruins a floor. We built our Marlin dispatch around speed, because every extra hour of standing water costs more to repair.
Hirex Water Damage didn't start as a franchise looking for a new zip code to expand into — it started because Marlin 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.
Each senior tech on our Marlin roster is IICRC-certified and has handled everything from a clean supply-line break to a full Category 3 sewage loss, which is why Structural Drying in Marlin is treated as a specialty, not a side offering. Full insurance and Marlin, TX licensing back every job we take in Marlin.
Because our gear is staged locally rather than shipped in, Marlin response times run well ahead of a typical national franchise.
Ask any Marlin 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.
Our Marlin technicians go through regular continuing education, because a method that was standard five years ago may not be the best option today.
Not every water problem looks dramatic — some of the costliest Marlin repairs began as a barely-noticeable issue. Here's what tells our team a Marlin 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 Marlin team before it spreads.
From a single flooded closet to a three-story commercial building, our Marlin crews scale the response to match the actual damage. Every service below reflects a specific piece of equipment or protocol, not just a marketing category.
We arrive with submersible pumps and truck-mount extractors built to clear a flooded Marlin room before water soaks deeper into the subfloor. Moisture mapping follows every extraction so we know which materials are still holding water once the visible flooding is gone.
Once extraction wraps, commercial air movers and LGR dehumidifiers go to work based on psychrometric readings, not a flat per-room count, with daily logs so you can watch the numbers improve.
On the residential side in Marlin, we handle the flood cut, subfloor checks, and content pack-out so the home is ready for rebuild, with photo documentation at every stage for your insurance file.
Marlin 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.
Category 3 blackwater calls for full PPE, antimicrobial treatment, and disposal of anything porous that touched the contamination — our Marlin crews are trained for that exact protocol.
We treat affected materials during every Marlin 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 Marlin property, not a mystery total after the fact.
Local staging inside Marlin typically puts a tech at your door quickly, not after a long drive across the region.
We photograph and log every step so your Marlin claim moves faster and you're not arguing with an insurer alone.
If moisture readings aren't where they should be at the end of a Marlin job, we come back and keep drying at no extra charge.
A short call tells us whether your Marlin job needs one technician or a full crew before anyone drives out.
Our nearest available Marlin crew is dispatched immediately with truck-mount gear on board.
Standing water comes out first, then we map moisture and position air movers based on the readings.
We re-check moisture daily until materials hit dry standard, then hand you full documentation for your records.
Our Marlin 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 Marlin job, in writing. A repeat visit under this guarantee means picking up exactly where the last one left off, not starting from scratch.
Trust matters, but in restoration work, documented moisture readings matter more, and that's what our Marlin guarantee is built on.

Typical drying runs 3-5 days for a Marlin home, though a job left unaddressed longer can take more time.
