Whether it's a slow leak that's been eating your subfloor for weeks or a flooded basement at 2am, our San Rafael crews are already moving. 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 crew leads carry IICRC water restoration certifications and have logged real hours on Category 1, 2, and 3 losses, so Water Damage Repair 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.
Our San Rafael, CA-based equipment cache means drying gear is already close by, not stuck in a truck three states away.
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.
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 any of that sounds familiar, don't wait for it to get worse — call our San Rafael line and we'll tell you honestly whether it's a same-day emergency or something we can schedule.
From a single soaked bedroom to a commercial building with three flooded floors, our San Rafael teams are equipped to scale up or down — 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.
For San Rafael homeowners, that means drywall removal at the flood cut line, subfloor assessment, and content pack-out for anything that can be saved, 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.
Category 3 blackwater calls for full PPE, antimicrobial treatment, and disposal of anything porous that touched the contamination — our San Rafael crews are trained for exactly that protocol.
We apply antimicrobial treatment during every San Rafael drying job specifically to head off mold before it starts, and we'll flag any area that needs deeper 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 document everything with photos and moisture logs and work directly with your adjuster so you're not stuck translating restoration jargon.
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.
Tell our San Rafael dispatcher what's happening — we'll ask a few quick questions to send the right equipment on the first trip.
Our nearest available San Rafael crew is dispatched immediately with truck-mount extraction gear on board.
Standing water comes out first; drying equipment gets placed only after we've mapped exactly where moisture is hiding.
We re-check moisture levels daily until materials hit dry standard, then hand you full documentation for your records or your insurer.
Our San Rafael technicians use moisture meters at the start and the end of every job, and the final number has to hit the dry standard before we leave. 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. 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.

Around-the-clock coverage in San Rafael includes extraction, drying, and Category 3 sewage response — nothing on that list waits for morning.

We take moisture meter readings on affected materials and compare them against the dry standard for that material type — a visual check alone isn't enough.
Blackwater and sewage response is a core part of what our San Rafael team does, not a job we sub out.
Cut power to the affected area if there's standing water near outlets, and avoid walking through it until our San Rafael tech confirms it's safe.
We scale crews and equipment for commercial San Rafael accounts and assign a dedicated project lead for anything beyond a single unit.
Typical drying time runs 3-5 days for a San Rafael home, though a job that sat unaddressed longer can take longer to fully dry.
Not if it's addressed quickly — mold generally needs 24-48 hours of sustained moisture, which is exactly why fast extraction matters.
Our San Rafael guarantee covers a 30-day callback window — if moisture shows up again from the same loss, we come back free of charge.
