Hirex Water Damage started because homeowners in Fort Washington, MD kept telling us the same story: a national hotline picked up, put them on hold, and then subcontracted the job out to whoever was cheapest and closest. Every technician on our Fort Washington 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 Emergency Water Damage in Fort Washington 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 Fort Washington, MD, so you're protected from the moment our truck pulls into the driveway.
Because our equipment lives in a Fort Washington, MD warehouse rather than out of state, we're not waiting on a supply run before we can start extraction.

That's the gap Hirex Water Damage was built to close, one Fort Washington call at a time.
