A cracked supply line or an overflowing appliance doesn't check the clock before it ruins a floor. Hirex Water Damage keeps Flood Damage Cleanup crews and equipment staged inside Kinards so a technician can be at your door quickly.


Hirex Water Damage didn't start as a franchise looking for a new zip code to expand into — it started because Kinards 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.
Our lead technicians hold IICRC water restoration certification and have worked jobs ranging from a single soaked bedroom to a fully flooded commercial floor, which is why Flood Damage Cleanup in Kinards is treated as a specialty, not a side offering. We carry full liability coverage and hold active licensing to operate throughout Kinards, SC.
Equipment lives in a Kinards-area warehouse rather than being trucked in from three counties over, which shortens arrival time considerably.
Ask any Kinards property manager who's dealt with an overnight pipe failure and they'll tell you the real cost isn't the leak itself — it's how long standing water sits before someone with the right equipment shows up. That gap between a fast, equipped response and a slow, improvised one is exactly what Hirex Water Damage was built to close.
We also invest in ongoing technician training, since restoration methods and equipment keep evolving and a Kinards crew running outdated techniques does the property a disservice.

Plenty of the worst jobs we've walked into in Kinards started as something small that got put off for a few weeks. Here's what tells our team a Kinards property needs a professional look rather than a mop and a fan:
If you're nodding along, get ahead of it now — our Kinards dispatcher will tell you honestly whether it's urgent or something we can schedule.
From a single flooded closet to a three-story commercial building, our Kinards 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.
Our Kinards units carry truck-mount extraction pumps that pull standing water out fast, cutting exposure time from days to hours. 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 Kinards homeowners, that means flood-cut drywall removal, subfloor assessment, and content pack-out for anything salvageable, with photo documentation at every stage for your insurance file.
Kinards businesses and property managers get a dedicated project lead, after-hours crews, and equipment scaled to square footage — 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 Kinards crews are trained for that exact protocol.
On top of standard drying, our Kinards crews apply antimicrobial treatment and will tell you plainly if a section needs specialist attention.
We quote every Kinards job before equipment gets plugged in, so there's no surprise charge buried in the final invoice.
Local staging inside Kinards typically puts a tech at your door quickly, not after a long drive across the region.
We photograph and log every step so your Kinards claim moves faster and you're not arguing with an insurer alone.
Final moisture readings have to hit dry-standard before we consider any Kinards job done, and getting there again is on us.
Tell our Kinards dispatcher what's happening — a few quick questions get the right equipment on the first trip.
The closest available Kinards technician is routed to you with equipment staged and ready.
We extract immediately, followed by a moisture survey that tells us precisely where Kinards drying equipment needs to go.
We don't close the Kinards file until the numbers confirm the structure is dry, with full photo and moisture documentation in hand.

Our Kinards 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 Kinards 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 Kinards job closes with instrument readings attached.
