Every technician you'll meet is a direct Hirex Water Damage employee, not a subcontractor pulled from an app.
Each senior tech on our Squirrel Island roster is IICRC-certified and has handled everything from a clean supply-line break to a full Category 3 sewage loss, which is why Water Removal in Squirrel Island is treated as a specialty, not a side offering.
