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. Hirex Water Damage sends licensed technicians straight to your San Mateo address with extraction equipment already loaded and running.
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.
Each lead tech holds an IICRC Water Restoration Technician certification and has personally handled clean-water, gray-water, and contaminated black-water losses, so Flood Damage Repair 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.
Ask any San Mateo property manager who has dealt with a burst supply line at 3am β 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 Mateo call at a time.
Not every leak announces itself with a flooded floor. A lot of the worst damage we see in San Mateo 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 β our San Mateo dispatcher will give you an honest read on urgency, not a sales pitch.
From a single soaked bedroom to a commercial building with three flooded floors, our San Mateo teams are equipped to scale up or down β nothing gets a cookie-cutter response.
Our San Mateo 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.
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 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.
Multi-unit and commercial San Mateo properties get their own project manager plus enough drying equipment to cover the real square footage, not a token setup 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.
We quote the job before equipment gets plugged in, so there's no surprise line item buried in the final invoice.
Because our equipment cache sits inside San Mateo, CA, most San Mateo 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 Mateo job done, and getting there again is on us, not you.
Tell our San Mateo dispatcher what's happening β we'll ask a few quick questions to send the right equipment on the first trip.
A licensed technician heads to your San Mateo address with extraction and drying equipment already loaded.
Standing water comes out first; drying equipment gets placed only after we've mapped exactly where moisture is hiding.
Daily moisture checks continue until every affected material reads dry, and you get a complete report at the end.
Our San Mateo 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.
That's not a marketing line β it's written into every San Mateo work order we issue. A repeat visit under this guarantee doesn't mean starting over β we pull the original moisture logs and pick up exactly where the last visit left off.
