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. We dispatch Rice units carrying industrial extraction pumps, air movers, and commercial dehumidifiers already loaded on the truck.
Too many Rice, MN families have called a big national number only to get bounced through hold music before a random subcontractor shows up hours later, so Hirex Water Damage built its Rice operation differently. Every technician on our Rice 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 Basement Flooding in Rice isn't a side service we tacked on — it's the reason the company exists. We're fully insured and licensed to work anywhere in Rice, MN, so you're protected from the moment our truck pulls into the driveway.
We keep a stocked warehouse inside Rice, MN 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.
Anyone in Rice who has had a supply line fail overnight knows the real cost isn't the leak itself, it's how long the standing water sits before someone with the right equipment arrives. That's the gap Hirex Water Damage was built to close, one Rice call at a time.
Water damage doesn't always look dramatic at first — some of the costliest Rice 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 Rice dispatcher will give you an honest read on urgency, not a sales pitch.
We size the Rice 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 Rice 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.
For Rice homeowners, that means drywall removal at the flood cut line, subfloor assessment, and content pack-out for anything that can be saved, with clear photo documentation at every stage for your insurance claim.
For commercial Rice accounts, we assign a project lead, run crews after normal hours to reduce downtime, and bring equipment sized to the actual footprint — 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 Rice crews are trained for exactly that protocol.
Every Rice 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 Rice estimate is written and explained before work begins — no vague "we'll see how it goes" pricing.
Because our equipment cache sits inside Rice, MN, most Rice calls see a technician on-site in under 60 minutes.
Our paperwork is built to match what adjusters expect, and we'll speak with your insurer directly on your behalf.
If moisture readings aren't where they should be at the end of the job, we come back and keep drying at no extra charge.
Our Rice team asks a handful of targeted questions so the truck that shows up already has the right gear loaded.
Our nearest available Rice crew is dispatched immediately with truck-mount extraction gear on board.
Extraction happens immediately, followed by a moisture survey that tells us precisely where the drying equipment needs to go.
We re-check moisture levels daily until materials hit dry standard, then hand you full documentation for your records or your insurer.
Every Rice 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 Rice work order, not just in an ad. We try to send the original technician back for any follow-up so you're not re-explaining the job to someone new.

We rely on moisture meters and psychrometric readings, not a guess, before signing off on a Rice job as complete.
Blackwater and sewage response is a core part of what our Rice team does, not a job we sub out.
Cut power to the affected area if there's standing water near outlets, and avoid walking through it until our Rice tech confirms it's safe.
We scale crews and equipment for commercial Rice accounts and assign a dedicated project lead for anything beyond a single unit.
Drying time varies with material and how quickly extraction started, but 3 to 5 days is typical for most Rice jobs.
Mold isn't inevitable, but the window to prevent it is narrow, which is why we treat speed as part of the Rice service, not an upsell.
