A burst supply line, an overflowing tub, or a storm surge under the back door doesn't wait for business hours, and neither do we. Our Ely-based teams arrive with truck-mount extractors, moisture meters, and drying gear staged and ready to go.
Too many Ely, MN families have called a big national number only to get bounced through hold music before a random subcontractor shows up hours later, so Hirex Water Damage built its Ely operation differently. Every technician on our Ely 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 Repair in Ely isn't a side service we tacked on β it's the reason the company exists. We carry full general liability coverage and are licensed to operate throughout Ely, MN, so you're protected from the moment our truck pulls into the driveway.
We keep a stocked warehouse inside Ely, MN so equipment never has to be trucked in from another region, which is the difference between a 45-minute arrival and a next-day one.
Talk to a Ely property manager who's lived through an overnight pipe failure and they'll tell you exactly why a crew that arrives already equipped matters β every extra minute is more water in the framing. That's the gap Hirex Water Damage was built to close, one Ely call at a time.
Water damage doesn't always look dramatic at first β some of the costliest Ely 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 β call our Ely line and we'll tell you honestly whether it's a same-day emergency or something we can schedule.
From a single soaked bedroom to a commercial building with three flooded floors, our Ely teams are equipped to scale up or down β nothing gets a cookie-cutter response.
Our Ely 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 Ely 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.
Multi-unit and commercial Ely properties get their own project manager plus enough drying equipment to cover the real square footage, not a token setup β 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 β our Ely crews are trained for exactly that protocol.
Every Ely 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.
Local staging inside Ely, MN means Ely response times usually beat the national average by a wide margin.
We document everything with photos and moisture logs and work directly with your adjuster so you're not stuck translating restoration jargon.
If moisture readings aren't where they should be at the end of the job, we come back and keep drying at no extra charge.
Tell our Ely dispatcher what's happening β we'll ask a few quick questions to send the right equipment on the first trip.
The closest available technician is routed to your Ely property with equipment staged and ready.
Standing water comes out first; drying equipment gets placed only after we've mapped exactly where moisture is hiding.
We re-check moisture levels daily until materials hit dry standard, then hand you full documentation for your records or your insurer.
Our Ely technicians use moisture meters at the start and the end of every job, and the final number has to hit the dry standard before we leave. 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 Ely work order, not just in an ad. We try to send the original technician back for any follow-up so you're not re-explaining the job to someone new.

Around-the-clock coverage in Ely includes extraction, drying, and Category 3 sewage response β nothing on that list waits for morning.
We build our paperwork specifically to match what adjusters need and will speak with your insurer on your behalf.
Dryness is confirmed with instrument readings against a documented dry standard, not just by feeling the wall or carpet.
We regularly handle sewage backups in Ely using full containment, PPE, and EPA-registered antimicrobial products.
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.
Commercial response is a regular part of our Ely work β restaurants, offices, and multi-unit buildings included.
Typical drying time runs 3-5 days for a Ely home, though a job that sat unaddressed longer can take longer to fully dry.
Not if it's addressed quickly β mold generally needs 24-48 hours of sustained moisture, which is exactly why fast extraction matters.
Our Ely guarantee covers a 30-day callback window β if moisture shows up again from the same loss, we come back free of charge.
