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. We dispatch Lykens units carrying industrial extraction pumps, air movers, and commercial dehumidifiers already loaded on the truck.
Hirex Water Damage started because homeowners in Lykens, PA 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 Lykens 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 Mold Remediation in Lykens 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 Lykens, PA, so you're protected from the moment our truck pulls into the driveway.
Because our equipment lives in a Lykens, PA warehouse rather than out of state, we're not waiting on a supply run before we can start extraction.
Talk to a Lykens 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 Lykens call at a time.
Water damage doesn't always look dramatic at first — some of the costliest Lykens 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 Lykens line and we'll tell you honestly whether it's a same-day emergency or something we can schedule.
We size the Lykens 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 Lykens 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.
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 Lykens, 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.
Multi-unit and commercial Lykens 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.
Blackwater losses in Lykens get handled under strict Category 3 protocol: containment, PPE, antimicrobial application, and documented disposal of contaminated materials.
We apply antimicrobial treatment during every Lykens drying job specifically to head off mold before it starts, and we'll flag any area that needs deeper remediation.
You get a written estimate before any equipment runs, not a mystery total handed to you after the fact.
Our Lykens, PA warehouse keeps drying equipment close, which typically puts a Lykens tech at your door inside an hour.
We photograph and log every step specifically so your claim moves faster and you're not the one arguing with the insurance company.
Final moisture readings have to hit dry-standard before we consider a Lykens job done, and getting there again is on us, not you.
A short call with our Lykens dispatcher tells us whether this is a one-room job or a multi-crew response before anyone drives out.
Our nearest available Lykens 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.
Daily moisture checks continue until every affected material reads dry, and you get a complete report at the end.
Our Lykens 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.
That's not a marketing line — it's written into every Lykens 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.

Around-the-clock coverage in Lykens includes extraction, drying, and Category 3 sewage response — nothing on that list waits for morning.
Yes, we document everything with photos and moisture readings and can communicate directly with your adjuster.
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.
Blackwater and sewage response is a core part of what our Lykens team does, not a job we sub out.
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 Lykens accounts and assign a dedicated project lead for anything beyond a single unit.
Most Lykens residential jobs dry out in 3 to 5 days depending on how much material got wet and how long it sat before extraction.
Not if it's addressed quickly — mold generally needs 24-48 hours of sustained moisture, which is exactly why fast extraction matters.
Our Lykens guarantee covers a 30-day callback window — if moisture shows up again from the same loss, we come back free of charge.
