Pipes don't wait for daylight to fail, and our San Rafael dispatch team doesn't wait for morning to respond. We dispatch San Rafael units carrying industrial extraction pumps, air movers, and commercial dehumidifiers already loaded on the truck.
We built our San Rafael branch after hearing the same complaint over and over from San Rafael, CA property owners — the "24/7" number that never actually answers. Every technician on our San Rafael 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 Flood Damage Repair in San Rafael 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 San Rafael, CA, so you're protected from the moment our truck pulls into the driveway.
Our San Rafael, CA-based equipment cache means drying gear is already close by, not stuck in a truck three states away.
Talk to a San Rafael 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 San Rafael call at a time.
Not every leak announces itself with a flooded floor. A lot of the worst damage we see in San Rafael 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 you're nodding along to any of these, get ahead of it now rather than later — our San Rafael dispatcher will give you an honest read on urgency, not a sales pitch.
Whether it's one bedroom carpet or an entire flooded commercial floor, our San Rafael crews scale the response to match the loss — nothing gets a cookie-cutter response.
We arrive with submersible pumps and truck-mount extractors that get standing water out of a San Rafael property before it soaks deeper into the subfloor. 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 San Rafael, 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 San Rafael 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 San Rafael get handled under strict Category 3 protocol: containment, PPE, antimicrobial application, and documented disposal of contaminated materials.
On top of standard drying, our San Rafael crews treat affected materials to reduce mold risk and will be upfront if a section needs specialist remediation.
We quote the job before equipment gets plugged in, so there's no surprise line item buried in the final invoice.

Every San Rafael 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.
You'll find that exact commitment printed on your San Rafael paperwork, not just mentioned over the phone. We try to send the original technician back for any follow-up so you're not re-explaining the job to someone new.
