Whether it's a slow leak that's been eating your subfloor for weeks or a flooded basement at 2am, our Marcus crews are already moving. We dispatch Marcus units carrying industrial extraction pumps, air movers, and commercial dehumidifiers already loaded on the truck.
Hirex Water Damage started because homeowners in Marcus, IA 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 Marcus roster is a Hirex Water Damage employee, not a gig-app contractor pulled from a random directory.
Our senior technicians are IICRC-certified and have worked everything from a clean supply-line break to a full sewage backup, so Structural Drying in Marcus 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 Marcus, IA, so you're protected from the moment our truck pulls into the driveway.
Because our equipment lives in a Marcus, IA warehouse rather than out of state, we're not waiting on a supply run before we can start extraction.
Talk to a Marcus 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 Marcus call at a time.
Water damage doesn't always look dramatic at first — some of the costliest Marcus 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 Marcus line and we'll tell you honestly whether it's a same-day emergency or something we can schedule.
We size the Marcus 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 Marcus 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.
We place industrial dehumidifiers and air movers based on actual psychrometric calculations, not a standard equipment count per room, with daily drying logs so you can see the numbers improving, not just take our word for it.
For Marcus 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 Marcus properties get their own project manager plus enough drying equipment to cover the real square footage, not a token setup — we know a flooded lobby or a leaking unit above tenants below has to move fast.
When a Marcus job involves sewage backup, our team suits up in full PPE, applies EPA-registered antimicrobials, and safely disposes of porous materials that can't be saved.
Every Marcus 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 Marcus, IA, most Marcus calls see a technician on-site in under 60 minutes.
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.
Our Marcus team asks a handful of targeted questions so the truck that shows up already has the right gear loaded.
Our nearest available Marcus crew is dispatched immediately with truck-mount extraction gear on board.
Standing water comes out first; drying equipment gets placed only after we've mapped exactly where moisture is hiding.
Daily moisture checks continue until every affected material reads dry, and you get a complete report at the end.
We measure moisture with instruments, not guesswork, and we won't sign off on a Marcus job until those readings match the dry standard for the materials involved. If a callback shows lingering moisture within 30 days of a completed job, we return and correct it at no additional charge.
You'll find that exact commitment printed on your Marcus paperwork, not just mentioned over the phone. We try to send the original technician back for any follow-up so you're not re-explaining the job to someone new.

We always quote first. You'll see a written estimate for the Marcus job before any drying equipment starts running.
Emergency extraction, structural drying, and sewage/contaminated water cleanup are all available 24/7 for Marcus properties.
Direct adjuster communication is standard — we send photo and moisture documentation formatted for a Marcus insurance claim.
We take moisture meter readings on affected materials and compare them against the dry standard for that material type — a visual check alone isn't enough.
We regularly handle sewage backups in Marcus using full containment, PPE, and EPA-registered antimicrobial products.
Cut power to the affected area if there's standing water near outlets, and avoid walking through it until our Marcus tech confirms it's safe.
We scale crews and equipment for commercial Marcus accounts and assign a dedicated project lead for anything beyond a single unit.
Drying time varies with material and how quickly extraction started, but 3 to 5 days is typical for most Marcus jobs.
Not if it's addressed quickly — mold generally needs 24-48 hours of sustained moisture, which is exactly why fast extraction matters.
Yes, if moisture readings aren't at dry standard when we finish, or a callback shows lingering moisture within 30 days, we return at no extra charge.
