Pipes don't wait for daylight to fail, and our Rice dispatch team doesn't wait for morning to respond. 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 Mold Remediation in Rice 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 Rice, MN, so you're protected from the moment our truck pulls into the driveway.
Our Rice, MN-based equipment cache means drying gear is already close by, not stuck in a truck three states away.
Talk to a Rice property manager who's lived through an overnight pipe failure and they'll tell you exactly why a crew that arrives already equipped matters — every extra minute is more water in the framing. That's the gap Hirex Water Damage was built to close, one Rice call at a time.
Not every leak announces itself with a flooded floor. A lot of the worst damage we see in Rice started small and got ignored for weeks. Here's what tells us a property needs professional attention rather than a mop and a fan:
Recognizing one of these signs early is the difference between a contained repair and a gutted room, so call our Rice team and get a straight answer on how urgent it is.
Whether it's one bedroom carpet or an entire flooded commercial floor, our Rice crews scale the response to match the loss — 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.
Rice businesses and property managers get a dedicated project lead, after-hours crews, and equipment scaled to square footage rather than a single-crew response — we know a flooded lobby or a leaking unit above tenants below has to move fast.
Blackwater losses in Rice get handled under strict Category 3 protocol: containment, PPE, antimicrobial application, and documented disposal of contaminated materials.
On top of standard drying, our Rice crews treat affected materials to reduce mold risk and will be upfront if a section needs specialist remediation.
Every Rice estimate is written and explained before work begins — no vague "we'll see how it goes" pricing.
Local staging inside Rice, MN means Rice 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.
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.
Tell our Rice dispatcher what's happening — we'll ask a few quick questions to send the right equipment on the first trip.
A licensed technician heads to your Rice address with extraction and drying equipment already loaded.
Extraction happens immediately, followed by a moisture survey that tells us precisely where the drying equipment needs to go.
Daily moisture checks continue until every affected material reads dry, and you get a complete report at the end.
Our Rice technicians use moisture meters at the start and the end of every job, and the final number has to hit the dry standard before we leave. If a callback shows lingering moisture within 30 days of a completed job, we return and correct it at no additional charge.
You'll find that exact commitment printed on your Rice paperwork, not just mentioned over the phone. 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.

Yes, we document everything with photos and moisture readings and can communicate directly with your adjuster.
Dryness is confirmed with instrument readings against a documented dry standard, not just by feeling the wall or carpet.
Blackwater and sewage response is a core part of what our Rice team does, not a job we sub out.
Turn off the water supply if you can reach it safely, keep people and pets out of the flooded area, and don't run electrical devices near standing water.
Commercial response is a regular part of our Rice 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 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.
Our Rice guarantee covers a 30-day callback window — if moisture shows up again from the same loss, we come back free of charge.
We cover Rice and the surrounding zip codes listed below, plus neighboring communities throughout Rice, MN.
Beyond Rice itself, our coverage extends across nearby zip codes, with additional Rice, MN crews available for large-scale or commercial losses. If your address falls inside or near Rice, a Hirex Water Damage crew can typically respond the same day.
