A burst supply line, an overflowing tub, or a storm surge under the back door doesn't wait for business hours, and neither do we. Our South Lyme-based teams arrive with truck-mount extractors, moisture meters, and drying gear staged and ready to go.
Hirex Water Damage started because homeowners in South Lyme, CT 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 South Lyme 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 Burst Pipe Cleanup in South Lyme isn't a side service we tacked on — it's the reason the company exists. Full liability coverage and South Lyme, CT licensing back every job we take, so you're protected from the moment our truck pulls into the driveway.
We keep a stocked warehouse inside South Lyme, CT so equipment never has to be trucked in from another region, which is the difference between a 45-minute arrival and a next-day one.
Ask any South Lyme property manager who has dealt with a burst supply line at 3am — the difference between a crew that shows up ready and one still loading a truck at the shop is measured in gallons of water soaking into your subfloor. That's the gap Hirex Water Damage was built to close, one South Lyme call at a time.
Water damage doesn't always look dramatic at first — some of the costliest South Lyme jobs we've handled began as a small, easy-to-miss problem. Here's what tells us a property needs professional attention rather than a mop and a fan:
If you're nodding along to any of these, get ahead of it now rather than later — our South Lyme dispatcher will give you an honest read on urgency, not a sales pitch.
We size the South Lyme response to the actual damage — a single-room extraction gets a two-person crew, a commercial loss gets the full fleet — nothing gets a cookie-cutter response.
Truck-mounted extraction equipment on every South Lyme rig pulls high volumes of standing water fast, so drying starts the same day instead of the next. Every extraction job includes moisture mapping so we know exactly which materials are still holding water once the visible flooding is gone.
Our drying plans use moisture meters and thermal imaging to target air movers exactly where hidden moisture is trapped, with daily drying logs so you can see the numbers improving, not just take our word for it.
On the residential side in South Lyme, we handle the flood-cut, subfloor checks, and content pack-out so your home is ready to rebuild, with clear photo documentation at every stage for your insurance claim.
Multi-unit and commercial South Lyme properties get their own project manager plus enough drying equipment to cover the real square footage, not a token setup — we know a flooded lobby or a leaking unit above tenants below has to move fast.
Category 3 blackwater calls for full PPE, antimicrobial treatment, and disposal of anything porous that touched the contamination — our South Lyme crews are trained for exactly that protocol.
Every South Lyme job includes a preventive antimicrobial application, and if we spot conditions that need full remediation we tell you plainly instead of quietly hoping it clears up.
Every South Lyme estimate is written and explained before work begins — no vague "we'll see how it goes" pricing.
Local staging inside South Lyme, CT means South Lyme response times usually beat the national average by a wide margin.
We document everything with photos and moisture logs and work directly with your adjuster so you're not stuck translating restoration jargon.
Final moisture readings have to hit dry-standard before we consider a South Lyme job done, and getting there again is on us, not you.
Our South Lyme team asks a handful of targeted questions so the truck that shows up already has the right gear loaded.
The closest available technician is routed to your South Lyme property with equipment staged and ready.
Standing water comes out first; drying equipment gets placed only after we've mapped exactly where moisture is hiding.
We re-check moisture levels daily until materials hit dry standard, then hand you full documentation for your records or your insurer.
Every South Lyme job gets closed based on instrument readings, not a visual check, and we won't call it finished until the numbers say it's finished. If a callback shows lingering moisture within 30 days of a completed job, we return and correct it at no additional charge.
We put that guarantee directly on the South Lyme work order, not just in an ad. A repeat visit under this guarantee doesn't mean starting over — we pull the original moisture logs and pick up exactly where the last visit left off.

Blackwater and sewage response is a core part of what our South Lyme team does, not a job we sub out.
If it's safe, shut off the water source, move electronics and valuables away from the affected area, and avoid the space if standing water is near outlets.
Commercial response is a regular part of our South Lyme work — restaurants, offices, and multi-unit buildings included.
Drying time varies with material and how quickly extraction started, but 3 to 5 days is typical for most South Lyme jobs.
