Whether it's a slow leak that's been eating your subfloor for weeks or a flooded basement at 2am, our Cottonwood crews are already moving. We dispatch Cottonwood units carrying industrial extraction pumps, air movers, and commercial dehumidifiers already loaded on the truck.

Hirex Water Damage started because homeowners in Cottonwood, AL 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 Cottonwood 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 Burst Pipe Cleanup in Cottonwood isn't a side service we tacked on — it's the reason the company exists. Full liability coverage and Cottonwood, AL licensing back every job we take, so you're protected from the moment our truck pulls into the driveway.
We keep a stocked warehouse inside Cottonwood, AL 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.
Anyone in Cottonwood who has had a supply line fail overnight knows the real cost isn't the leak itself, it's how long the standing water sits before someone with the right equipment arrives. That's the gap Hirex Water Damage was built to close, one Cottonwood call at a time.

Not every leak announces itself with a flooded floor. A lot of the worst damage we see in Cottonwood started small and got ignored for weeks. 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 Cottonwood line and we'll tell you honestly whether it's a same-day emergency or something we can schedule.
We size the Cottonwood 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.
Truck-mounted extraction equipment on every Cottonwood rig pulls high volumes of standing water fast, so drying starts the same day instead of the next. Every extraction job includes moisture mapping so we know exactly which materials are still holding water once the visible flooding is gone.
Our drying plans use moisture meters and thermal imaging to target air movers exactly where hidden moisture is trapped, with daily drying logs so you can see the numbers improving, not just take our word for it.
