Whether it's a slow drip that finally gave out or a sudden flood at midnight, Mattoon residents call one number and get a real answer. Our Mattoon-based teams roll out with extraction and drying gear already loaded, not scrambling to gather it after the call.
Hirex Water Damage didn't start as a franchise looking for a new zip code to expand into — it started because Mattoon 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.
Each senior tech on our Mattoon roster is IICRC-certified and has handled everything from a clean supply-line break to a full Category 3 sewage loss, which is why Water Removal in Mattoon is treated as a specialty, not a side offering. Full insurance and Mattoon, WI licensing back every job we take in Mattoon.
Equipment lives in a Mattoon-area warehouse rather than being trucked in from three counties over, which shortens arrival time considerably.
Ask any Mattoon property manager who's dealt with an overnight pipe failure and they'll tell you the real cost isn't the leak itself — it's how long standing water sits before someone with the right equipment shows up. That gap between a fast, equipped response and a slow, improvised one is exactly what Hirex Water Damage was built to close.
Our Mattoon technicians go through regular continuing education, because a method that was standard five years ago may not be the best option today.

If any of that sounds familiar, don't wait for it to get worse — call our Mattoon line and we'll give you a straight answer on urgency.
Whether it's a small residential leak or a large commercial loss, our Mattoon teams size the crew and equipment to fit. Each item on this list corresponds to an actual step in our process, not a generic label.
We arrive with submersible pumps and truck-mount extractors built to clear a flooded Mattoon room before water soaks deeper into the subfloor. Moisture mapping follows every extraction so we know which materials are still holding water once the visible flooding is gone.
We calculate drying needs using humidity and temperature data rather than guessing at equipment placement, with daily logs so you can watch the numbers improve.
For Mattoon 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.
For commercial Mattoon 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.
