Whether it's a slow drip that finally gave out or a sudden flood at midnight, Clever residents call one number and get a real answer. Hirex Water Damage keeps Water Removal crews and equipment staged inside Clever so a technician can be at your door quickly.
Hirex Water Damage didn't start as a franchise looking for a new zip code to expand into — it started because Clever 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.
Our lead technicians hold IICRC water restoration certification and have worked jobs ranging from a single soaked bedroom to a fully flooded commercial floor, which is why Water Removal in Clever is treated as a specialty, not a side offering. You're protected from the moment our truck reaches your Clever address, thanks to full coverage and proper Clever, MO licensing.
Because our gear is staged locally rather than shipped in, Clever response times run well ahead of a typical national franchise.
Anyone in Clever who's had a mid-night plumbing failure knows that every extra minute of standing water means more material soaked through. That gap between a fast, equipped response and a slow, improvised one is exactly what Hirex Water Damage was built to close.
Our Clever technicians go through regular continuing education, because a method that was standard five years ago may not be the best option today.
Plenty of the worst jobs we've walked into in Clever started as something small that got put off for a few weeks. Here's what tells our team a Clever property needs a professional look rather than a mop and a fan:
If you're nodding along, get ahead of it now — our Clever dispatcher will tell you honestly whether it's urgent or something we can schedule.
We don't run a one-size response in Clever — a contained bathroom leak gets a different crew than a flooded restaurant kitchen. We list these as distinct services because each genuinely requires different tools and training, not interchangeable labor.
Our Clever units carry truck-mount extraction pumps that pull standing water out fast, cutting exposure time from days to hours. 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.
On the residential side in Clever, we handle the flood cut, subfloor checks, and content pack-out so the home is ready for rebuild, with photo documentation at every stage for your insurance file.
For commercial Clever 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.
When a Clever job involves sewage backup, our team suits up fully, applies EPA-registered antimicrobials, and disposes of porous materials that can't be saved.
Every Clever drying job includes preventive antimicrobial application aimed at heading off mold before it starts.
We quote every Clever job before equipment gets plugged in, so there's no surprise charge buried in the final invoice.
Response times in Clever usually beat the industry average by a wide margin thanks to local equipment.
We document every Clever job with photos and moisture logs and can speak directly with your adjuster.
We don't call a Clever job finished until the meter agrees, and if it doesn't, we return at no additional cost.
Tell our Clever dispatcher what's happening — a few quick questions get the right equipment on the first trip.
The closest available Clever technician is routed to you with equipment staged and ready.
Standing water comes out first, then we map moisture and position air movers based on the readings.
We don't close the Clever file until the numbers confirm the structure is dry, with full photo and moisture documentation in hand.
We measure moisture with instruments, not guesswork, and won't sign off on a Clever job until readings match the dry standard for the materials involved. If a callback within 30 days shows lingering moisture from the same loss, we return and correct it at no additional charge.
We put the guarantee directly on the work order for every Clever job, in writing. A repeat visit under this guarantee means picking up exactly where the last one left off, not starting from scratch.
We built this guarantee because Clever property owners deserve more than a verbal assurance that a job is done — they deserve proof.

Local staging typically gets a Clever technician on-site inside an hour or two depending on traffic.
Upfront, written pricing is standard on every Clever job, never an afterthought.
Around-the-clock Clever coverage includes extraction, drying, and Category 3 sewage response — nothing on that list waits for morning.
Direct adjuster communication is standard, and we'll send documentation formatted for a Clever insurance claim.
We take moisture meter readings and compare them against the dry standard for that material — a visual check alone isn't enough.
Blackwater response is a core part of what our Clever team does, not something we sub out.
If it's safe, shut off the water source, move valuables away from the affected area, and avoid standing water near outlets.
Commercial response is a regular part of our Clever work — restaurants and multi-unit buildings included.
Drying time varies by material and how fast extraction started, but 3-5 days is typical for most Clever jobs.
Quick extraction and drying significantly lowers mold risk since spores need sustained moisture to take hold.
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 charge.
See the zip codes and nearby cities listed below — our Clever crews cover that full radius.
You don't have to stay on-site the entire time equipment is running, though we do need periodic access for moisture checks.
Clever is our home base, and our reach extends across Clever, MO through staged equipment and on-call technicians. If your address falls inside or near Clever, a Hirex Water Damage crew can typically respond the same day.
We've worked enough Clever properties across different neighborhoods to recognize patterns specific to certain building eras and construction types.
