Whether it's a slow leak that's been eating your subfloor for weeks or a flooded basement at 2am, our Lake in the Hills crews are already moving. Our Lake in the Hills-based teams arrive with truck-mount extractors, moisture meters, and drying gear staged and ready to go.
Hirex Water Damage started because homeowners in Lake in the Hills, IL 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 Lake in the Hills 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 Flood Damage Cleanup in Lake in the Hills isn't a side service we tacked on — it's the reason the company exists.

Because our equipment lives in a Lake in the Hills, IL warehouse rather than out of state, we're not waiting on a supply run before we can start extraction.
Ask any Lake in the Hills 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 Lake in the Hills call at a time.
