HyreRestore

HyreRestore is an independent information site that provides guides for homeowners dealing with water, fire, mold, and storm damage. It publishes primary-source research and fact-checking on the first 24 hours, drying, insurance claims, and how to judge a restoration company. The platform covers ten core services including water damage, structural drying, flood, sewage, fire and smoke, storm, board-up, mold, contents, and reconstruction.

Users can submit a short form with their address, phone, and name to describe their damage. A person at HyreRestore reads the inquiry and replies with the next step. No restoration company gets the user's details unless they agree to that introduction, and matching with companies is still being built.

If water is near outlets or the panel, switch off the breaker only from a dry floor. If you smell gas, leave the house and call the gas utility or 911 from outside. For sewage, keep children, pets, and anyone with a weakened immune system out of the area.

The EPA advises drying wet materials within 24–48 hours to keep mold from growing. This window is critical because cat 1–3 water categories set what can be dried, and the IICRC S500 standard outlines the framework for professional water damage restoration.

A loss produces two bills: mitigation and reconstruction. Mitigation is priced by equipment units times days plus labor, while reconstruction is priced like any building job based on square footage and local rates. HyreRestore publishes no average price because factors like drying days and rebuild costs vary too widely.

HyreRestore does not sell inquiries to multiple companies at once to avoid overwhelming the user with ten calls in an hour. The lead quality standard ensures that a person at HyreRestore reads every inquiry and writes back personally, rather than passing the request to a third party.

If the house is flooding or unsafe, users should make it safe, call 911, the gas utility, or the electric utility if there is a hazard, and then call their insurer. HyreRestore is not an emergency line and sends no one to the property, but the site provides a sequence for the first 24 hours.

The platform features fourteen restoration tools and calculators that run on figures the user types, such as drying time estimators and claim openers. These tools are designed to work without needing an email address, and they show their method clearly on every page.

All information is sourced and dated, with named sources like EPA, FEMA, and IICRC points clearly identified. The site states it uses primary-source research and fact-checking, and it does not invent reviews or use average prices that do not fit the specific house.

The site explains how a homeowners claim runs, including what standard policies cover, working with the adjuster, and the assignment of benefits. Users are advised to photograph everything before it moves and call their insurer the same day after making the house safe.

The nine steps in order include stopping the water, photographing everything, and calling the insurer. The site emphasizes that order beats speed, and costly mistakes include cleaning before photographing or signing before reading the scope.

Sending the form costs nothing and commits the user to nothing, not a company, not a scope, and not a start date. It is not a work authorization, and the user can withdraw consent at any time by replying STOP to any text or writing to the Midvale, UT address.

HyreRestore expects restoration companies to pay them for introducing homeowners who asked to be introduced. The platform operates as a publisher, not a contractor, and no company pays for a place on these pages.

In a house built before 1978, users should not tear out painted material themselves because lead paint is possible. Additionally, if a furnace, boiler, or water heater was under water, do not relight it without having the gas utility or a licensed technician check it first.

HyreRestore is located at 6975 Union Park Avenue, Midvale, UT 84047.
