Whether it's a slow leak that's been eating your subfloor for weeks or a flooded basement at 2am, our Lake Andes crews are already moving. Our Lake Andes-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 Andes, SD 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 Andes 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 Andes 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 Lake Andes, SD, so you're protected from the moment our truck pulls into the driveway.
Our Lake Andes, SD-based equipment cache means drying gear is already close by, not stuck in a truck three states away.
Talk to a Lake Andes 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 Lake Andes call at a time.
Water damage doesn't always look dramatic at first — some of the costliest Lake Andes jobs we've handled began as a small, easy-to-miss problem. Here's what tells us a property needs professional attention rather than a mop and a fan:
If any of that sounds familiar, don't wait for it to get worse — call our Lake Andes line and we'll tell you honestly whether it's a same-day emergency or something we can schedule.
We size the Lake Andes response to the actual damage — a single-room extraction gets a two-person crew, a commercial loss gets the full fleet — nothing gets a cookie-cutter response.
Our Lake Andes 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 families in Lake Andes, this covers flood-cut drywall removal, subfloor evaluation, and packing out salvageable belongings for cleaning, with clear photo documentation at every stage for your insurance claim.
Lake Andes businesses and property managers get a dedicated project lead, after-hours crews, and equipment scaled to square footage rather than a single-crew response — we know a flooded lobby or a leaking unit above tenants below has to move fast.
Category 3 blackwater calls for full PPE, antimicrobial treatment, and disposal of anything porous that touched the contamination — our Lake Andes crews are trained for exactly that protocol.
Every Lake Andes job includes a preventive antimicrobial application, and if we spot conditions that need full remediation we tell you plainly instead of quietly hoping it clears up.
You get a written estimate before any equipment runs, not a mystery total handed to you after the fact.
Because our equipment cache sits inside Lake Andes, SD, most Lake Andes calls see a technician on-site in under 60 minutes.
We photograph and log every step specifically so your claim moves faster and you're not the one arguing with the insurance company.
We don't call a job finished until the moisture meter agrees, and if it doesn't, we return at no additional cost.
Our Lake Andes team asks a handful of targeted questions so the truck that shows up already has the right gear loaded.
Our nearest available Lake Andes crew is dispatched immediately with truck-mount extraction gear on board.
We remove standing water first, then map moisture and position air movers and dehumidifiers based on the readings.
We re-check moisture levels daily until materials hit dry standard, then hand you full documentation for your records or your insurer.
Every Lake Andes 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.
That's not a marketing line — it's written into every Lake Andes work order we issue. 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.

Upfront, written pricing is standard on every Lake Andes job, not an add-on option.
Our Lake Andes on-call rotation covers water extraction, drying, and blackwater cleanup any hour of the day or night.

Turn off the water supply if you can reach it safely, keep people and pets out of the flooded area, and don't run electrical devices near standing water.
We scale crews and equipment for commercial Lake Andes accounts and assign a dedicated project lead for anything beyond a single unit.
Typical drying time runs 3-5 days for a Lake Andes home, though a job that sat unaddressed longer can take longer to fully dry.
Not if it's addressed quickly — mold generally needs 24-48 hours of sustained moisture, which is exactly why fast extraction matters.
We stand behind every Lake Andes job with a documented dry-standard guarantee and a 30-day callback policy.
