Whether it's a slow leak that's been eating your subfloor for weeks or a flooded basement at 2am, our Rice crews are already moving. We dispatch Rice units carrying industrial extraction pumps, air movers, and commercial dehumidifiers already loaded on the truck.
We built our Rice branch after hearing the same complaint over and over from Rice, TX property owners — the "24/7" number that never actually answers. Every technician on our Rice 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 Emergency Water Damage in Rice isn't a side service we tacked on — it's the reason the company exists. Full liability coverage and Rice, TX 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 Rice, TX 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.
Ask any Rice property manager who has dealt with a burst supply line at 3am — the difference between a crew that shows up ready and one still loading a truck at the shop is measured in gallons of water soaking into your subfloor. That's the gap Hirex Water Damage was built to close, one Rice call at a time.
The most expensive Rice restoration jobs we run almost never started as a dramatic flood; they started as something small that got put off. 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 Rice line and we'll tell you honestly whether it's a same-day emergency or something we can schedule.
We size the Rice 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 Rice 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.
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.
On the residential side in Rice, we handle the flood-cut, subfloor checks, and content pack-out so your home is ready to rebuild, with clear photo documentation at every stage for your insurance claim.
For commercial Rice accounts, we assign a project lead, run crews after normal hours to reduce downtime, and bring equipment sized to the actual footprint — we know a flooded lobby or a leaking unit above tenants below has to move fast.
Category 3 blackwater calls for full PPE, antimicrobial treatment, and disposal of anything porous that touched the contamination — our Rice crews are trained for exactly that protocol.
Every Rice 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.
Every Rice estimate is written and explained before work begins — no vague "we'll see how it goes" pricing.
Because our equipment cache sits inside Rice, TX, most Rice calls see a technician on-site in under 60 minutes.
Our paperwork is built to match what adjusters expect, and we'll speak with your insurer directly on your behalf.
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.
Tell our Rice dispatcher what's happening — we'll ask a few quick questions to send the right equipment on the first trip.
Our nearest available Rice 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.
We re-check moisture levels daily until materials hit dry standard, then hand you full documentation for your records or your insurer.
Every Rice job gets closed based on instrument readings, not a visual check, and we won't call it finished until the numbers say it's finished. 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 Rice work order we issue. A repeat visit under this guarantee doesn't mean starting over — we pull the original moisture logs and pick up exactly where the last visit left off.

Upfront, written pricing is standard on every Rice job, not an add-on option.
Around-the-clock coverage in Rice includes extraction, drying, and Category 3 sewage response — nothing on that list waits for morning.
Direct adjuster communication is standard — we send photo and moisture documentation formatted for a Rice insurance claim.
Dryness is confirmed with instrument readings against a documented dry standard, not just by feeling the wall or carpet.
Blackwater and sewage response is a core part of what our Rice team does, not a job we sub out.
If it's safe, shut off the water source, move electronics and valuables away from the affected area, and avoid the space if standing water is near outlets.
Yes, we regularly respond to commercial and multi-unit losses in Rice, including retail, restaurants, and office space.
Drying time varies with material and how quickly extraction started, but 3 to 5 days is typical for most Rice jobs.
