Hirex Water Damage started because homeowners in Highlands, NJ 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 Highlands 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 Highlands isn't a side service we tacked on — it's the reason the company exists. Full liability coverage and Highlands, NJ licensing back every job we take, so you're protected from the moment our truck pulls into the driveway.
