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 Mateo-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 Mateo, 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 Mateo 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 Burst Pipe Cleanup in San Mateo isn't a side service we tacked on β it's the reason the company exists. We're fully insured and licensed to work anywhere in San Mateo, CA, so you're protected from the moment our truck pulls into the driveway.
We keep a stocked warehouse inside San Mateo, CA 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.
Talk to a San Mateo property manager who's lived through an overnight pipe failure and they'll tell you exactly why a crew that arrives already equipped matters β every extra minute is more water in the framing. That's the gap Hirex Water Damage was built to close, one San Mateo call at a time.
Water damage doesn't always look dramatic at first β some of the costliest San Mateo jobs we've handled began as a small, easy-to-miss problem. 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 β our San Mateo 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 Mateo crews scale the response to match the loss β nothing gets a cookie-cutter response.
We arrive with submersible pumps and truck-mount extractors that get standing water out of a San Mateo 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.
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.
For San Mateo 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 Mateo businesses and property managers get a dedicated project lead, after-hours crews, and equipment scaled to square footage rather than a single-crew response β 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 β our San Mateo crews are trained for exactly that protocol.
On top of standard drying, our San Mateo crews treat affected materials to reduce mold risk and will be upfront if a section needs specialist remediation.
