A cracked supply line or an overflowing appliance doesn't check the clock before it ruins a floor. Hirex Water Damage keeps Structural Drying crews and equipment staged inside Crooks 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 Crooks 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.
Certification isn't just a logo on our site — our Crooks crew leads have logged real hours on clean, gray, and contaminated water losses, which is why Structural Drying in Crooks is treated as a specialty, not a side offering. We carry full liability coverage and hold active licensing to operate throughout Crooks, SD.
Equipment lives in a Crooks-area warehouse rather than being trucked in from three counties over, which shortens arrival time considerably.
Talk to a Crooks landlord who's lived through a burst supply line at 3am and they'll confirm that response speed, not just skill, determines how much a job ends up costing. That gap between a fast, equipped response and a slow, improvised one is exactly what Hirex Water Damage was built to close.
Our Crooks technicians go through regular continuing education, because a method that was standard five years ago may not be the best option today.

Plenty of the worst jobs we've walked into in Crooks started as something small that got put off for a few weeks. Here's what tells our team a Crooks property needs a professional look rather than a mop and a fan:
Recognizing one of these early is the difference between a contained repair and a gutted room, so reach out to our Crooks team before it spreads.
Whether it's a small residential leak or a large commercial loss, our Crooks teams size the crew and equipment to fit. Every service below reflects a specific piece of equipment or protocol, not just a marketing category.
Truck-mount extraction on every Crooks rig means high-volume pickup starts the same day, not the next. Moisture mapping follows every extraction so we know which materials are still holding water once the visible flooding is gone.
Our drying plans rely on moisture meters and thermal imaging to target air movers exactly where hidden Crooks moisture is trapped, with daily logs so you can watch the numbers improve.
For Crooks 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.
Crooks 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.
Blackwater losses in Crooks get handled under strict Category 3 protocol from containment through documented disposal.
We treat affected materials during every Crooks job specifically to lower mold risk, and flag anything that needs deeper remediation.
We quote every Crooks job before equipment gets plugged in, so there's no surprise charge buried in the final invoice.
Response times in Crooks usually beat the industry average by a wide margin thanks to local equipment.
We photograph and log every step so your Crooks claim moves faster and you're not arguing with an insurer alone.
We don't call a Crooks job finished until the meter agrees, and if it doesn't, we return at no additional cost.
A short call tells us whether your Crooks job needs one technician or a full crew before anyone drives out.
A licensed technician heads to your Crooks address with extraction and drying equipment already loaded.
Extraction happens right away, with drying equipment placed only after moisture mapping is complete.
We don't close the Crooks file until the numbers confirm the structure is dry, with full photo and moisture documentation in hand.

Our Crooks 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.
You'll find that exact guarantee printed on your Crooks paperwork, not only spoken over the phone. If a follow-up visit is ever needed, we send a technician familiar with the original job whenever scheduling allows, so you're not re-explaining the situation to someone new.
Trust matters, but in restoration work, documented moisture readings matter more, and that's what our Crooks guarantee is built on.
