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. Our San Rafael-based teams arrive with truck-mount extractors, moisture meters, and drying gear staged and ready to go.

Hirex Water Damage started because homeowners in San Rafael, CA 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 San Rafael 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 San Rafael isn't a side service we tacked on — it's the reason the company exists. Full liability coverage and San Rafael, CA licensing back every job we take, so you're protected from the moment our truck pulls into the driveway.
Because our equipment lives in a San Rafael, CA warehouse rather than out of state, we're not waiting on a supply run before we can start extraction.
Ask any San Rafael 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 San Rafael call at a time.

The most expensive San Rafael 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 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.
We size the San Rafael 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 San Rafael 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.
We place industrial dehumidifiers and air movers based on actual psychrometric calculations, not a standard equipment count per room, with daily drying logs so you can see the numbers improving, not just take our word for it.
On the residential side in San Rafael, 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.
San Rafael businesses and property managers get a dedicated project lead, after-hours crews, and equipment scaled to square footage rather than a single-crew response — 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.

You get a written estimate before any equipment runs, not a mystery total handed to you after the fact.
Because our equipment cache sits inside San Rafael, CA, most San Rafael calls see a technician on-site in under 60 minutes.
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 San Rafael job done, and getting there again is on us, not you.
A short call with our San Rafael dispatcher tells us whether this is a one-room job or a multi-crew response before anyone drives out.
A licensed technician heads to your San Rafael address with extraction and drying equipment already loaded.
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.

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.
We put that guarantee directly on the San Rafael work order, not just in an ad. 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.
