Whether it's a slow leak that's been eating your subfloor for weeks or a flooded basement at 2am, our Shawmut crews are already moving. We dispatch Shawmut units carrying industrial extraction pumps, air movers, and commercial dehumidifiers already loaded on the truck.
Hirex Water Damage started because homeowners in Shawmut, ME 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 Shawmut 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 Emergency Water Damage in Shawmut 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 Shawmut, ME, so you're protected from the moment our truck pulls into the driveway.
Because our equipment lives in a Shawmut, ME warehouse rather than out of state, we're not waiting on a supply run before we can start extraction.
Talk to a Shawmut 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 Shawmut call at a time.
Not every leak announces itself with a flooded floor. A lot of the worst damage we see in Shawmut started small and got ignored for weeks. 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 Shawmut dispatcher will give you an honest read on urgency, not a sales pitch.
From a single soaked bedroom to a commercial building with three flooded floors, our Shawmut teams are equipped to scale up or down — nothing gets a cookie-cutter response.
Our Shawmut units run truck-mount extraction pumps that pull thousands of gallons per hour, cutting standing-water time from days to hours. Every extraction job includes moisture mapping so we know exactly which materials are still holding water once the visible flooding is gone.
Once water is out, we bring in commercial air movers and LGR dehumidifiers, positioned using psychrometric readings rather than guesswork, with daily drying logs so you can see the numbers improving, not just take our word for it.
For Shawmut 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 Shawmut 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.
When a Shawmut job involves sewage backup, our team suits up in full PPE, applies EPA-registered antimicrobials, and safely disposes of porous materials that can't be saved.
On top of standard drying, our Shawmut crews treat affected materials to reduce mold risk and will be upfront if a section needs specialist remediation.
Every Shawmut estimate is written and explained before work begins — no vague "we'll see how it goes" pricing.

Tell our Shawmut dispatcher what's happening — we'll ask a few quick questions to send the right equipment on the first trip.
Our nearest available Shawmut 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 Shawmut 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 Shawmut work order, not just in an ad. If a second visit is ever needed, it comes from the same crew that handled the original job whenever scheduling allows, since they already know the property and the readings we started from.
