A cracked supply line or an overflowing appliance doesn't check the clock before it ruins a floor. We built our Switzer 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 Switzer 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 Switzer 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 Switzer is treated as a specialty, not a side offering. We carry full liability coverage and hold active licensing to operate throughout Switzer, WV.
Because our gear is staged locally rather than shipped in, Switzer response times run well ahead of a typical national franchise.
Anyone in Switzer who's had a mid-night plumbing failure knows that every extra minute of standing water means more material soaked through. That gap between a fast, equipped response and a slow, improvised one is exactly what Hirex Water Damage was built to close.
Our Switzer 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 Switzer repairs began as a barely-noticeable issue. Here's what tells our team a Switzer 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 Switzer team before it spreads.
From a single flooded closet to a three-story commercial building, our Switzer crews scale the response to match the actual damage. We list these as distinct services because each genuinely requires different tools and training, not interchangeable labor.
Truck-mount extraction on every Switzer rig means high-volume pickup starts the same day, not the next. 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.
For Switzer 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.
For commercial Switzer accounts, we assign a lead, run crews outside normal hours to limit downtime, and size equipment to the actual footprint — 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 Switzer crews are trained for that exact protocol.
Every Switzer drying job includes preventive antimicrobial application aimed at heading off mold before it starts.
Every Switzer estimate is written and explained up front — no vague "we'll see how it goes" pricing.
Response times in Switzer usually beat the industry average by a wide margin thanks to local equipment.
Our paperwork is built to match what Switzer, WV adjusters expect, so you're not stuck translating restoration jargon.
We don't call a Switzer job finished until the meter agrees, and if it doesn't, we return at no additional cost.
Tell our Switzer dispatcher what's happening — a few quick questions get the right equipment on the first trip.
The closest available Switzer technician is routed to you with equipment staged and ready.
Standing water comes out first, then we map moisture and position air movers based on the readings.
Daily moisture checks continue on every Switzer job until each material reads dry, and you get a full report at the end.
Our Switzer 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 Switzer job, in writing. 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 Switzer job closes with instrument readings attached.

"I didn't touch the insurance paperwork once — they sent it straight to our adjuster." — Marcus D.

"Our restaurant kitchen flooded from a line break and they had us reopened in three days flat." — Aaron F.
"They walked me through the PPE and containment steps for our sewage backup without making it feel like a bigger disaster." — Lena V.
"The final invoice matched the original quote exactly — no surprise line items." — Sam T.
Local staging typically gets a Switzer technician on-site inside an hour or two depending on traffic.
Upfront, written pricing is standard on every Switzer job, never an afterthought.
Our Switzer on-call rotation covers extraction, drying, and blackwater response any hour of the day.
Yes, we document everything with photos and moisture readings and can speak directly with your adjuster.
Dryness is confirmed with instrument readings against a documented standard, not by feel.
Yes, our Switzer crews are trained and equipped for Category 3 blackwater response, including PPE and antimicrobial treatment.
If it's safe, shut off the water source, move valuables away from the affected area, and avoid standing water near outlets.
Commercial response is a regular part of our Switzer work — restaurants and multi-unit buildings included.
Most Switzer residential jobs dry out in 3 to 5 days depending on how much material got wet.
Not if it's addressed quickly — mold generally needs 24-48 hours of sustained moisture to establish.
Yes, if moisture readings aren't at dry standard when we finish, or a callback shows lingering moisture within 30 days, we return at no charge.
See the zip codes and nearby cities listed below — our Switzer crews cover that full radius.
You don't have to stay on-site the entire time equipment is running, though we do need periodic access for moisture checks.
Beyond Switzer itself, coverage extends across nearby zip codes, with additional Switzer, WV crews available for large-scale or commercial losses. If your address falls inside or near Switzer, a Hirex Water Damage crew can typically respond the same day.
Local familiarity helps, since Switzer's building stock varies enough by neighborhood that a one-size approach to diagnostics doesn't always fit.
