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. We dispatch Los Gatos units carrying industrial extraction pumps, air movers, and commercial dehumidifiers already loaded on the truck.
Hirex Water Damage started because homeowners in Los Gatos, 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 Los Gatos 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 Basement Flooding in Los Gatos isn't a side service we tacked on β it's the reason the company exists. Full liability coverage and Los Gatos, 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 Los Gatos, CA warehouse rather than out of state, we're not waiting on a supply run before we can start extraction.

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.
