Whether it's a slow drip that finally gave out or a sudden flood at midnight, Rice residents call one number and get a real answer. We built our Rice dispatch around speed, because every extra hour of standing water costs more to repair.
We built Hirex Water Damage's Rice operation after hearing the same complaint over and over: the "24/7" number that never actually answers when it matters. Every technician you'll meet is a direct Hirex Water Damage employee, not a subcontractor pulled from an app.
Certification isn't just a logo on our site — our Rice crew leads have logged real hours on clean, gray, and contaminated water losses, which is why Water Damage Repair in Rice is treated as a specialty, not a side offering. Full insurance and Rice, MN licensing back every job we take in Rice.
Local equipment staging is the difference between a 45-minute arrival and a next-morning one for Rice calls.
Anyone in Rice who's had a mid-night plumbing failure knows that every extra minute of standing water means more material soaked through. That gap between a fast, equipped response and a slow, improvised one is exactly what Hirex Water Damage was built to close.
Our Rice technicians go through regular continuing education, because a method that was standard five years ago may not be the best option today.
The Rice jobs that end up gutting a room almost always started quiet, not with a flood. Here's what tells our team a Rice property needs a professional look rather than a mop and a fan:
If any of that sounds familiar, don't wait for it to get worse — call our Rice line and we'll give you a straight answer on urgency.
We don't run a one-size response in Rice — a contained bathroom leak gets a different crew than a flooded restaurant kitchen. We list these as distinct services because each genuinely requires different tools and training, not interchangeable labor.
Our Rice 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.
On the residential side in Rice, we handle the flood cut, subfloor checks, and content pack-out so the home is ready for rebuild, with photo documentation at every stage for your insurance file.
For commercial Rice accounts, we assign a lead, run crews outside normal hours to limit downtime, and size equipment to the actual footprint — 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 Rice crews are trained for that exact protocol.
We treat affected materials during every Rice job specifically to lower mold risk, and flag anything that needs deeper remediation.
You'll see a written estimate before any equipment runs on your Rice property, not a mystery total after the fact.
Response times in Rice usually beat the industry average by a wide margin thanks to local equipment.
We photograph and log every step so your Rice claim moves faster and you're not arguing with an insurer alone.
Final moisture readings have to hit dry-standard before we consider any Rice job done, and getting there again is on us.
Our Rice team asks just enough to send the right-sized crew, not a generic single technician every time.
The closest available Rice technician is routed to you with equipment staged and ready.
Extraction happens right away, with drying equipment placed only after moisture mapping is complete.
Daily moisture checks continue on every Rice job until each material reads dry, and you get a full report at the end.
Every Rice job closes based on instrument readings, not a visual check, and we won't call it finished until the numbers say so. If a callback within 30 days shows lingering moisture from the same loss, we return and correct it at no additional charge.
That commitment is written into every Rice work order we issue, not just mentioned in a sales pitch. We try to return the same crew for any callback so the person handling it already knows the property and the original readings.
We built this guarantee because Rice property owners deserve more than a verbal assurance that a job is done — they deserve proof.

Typical drying runs 3-5 days for a Rice home, though a job left unaddressed longer can take more time.
