A cracked supply line or an overflowing appliance doesn't check the clock before it ruins a floor. We built our Petaluma dispatch around speed, because every extra hour of standing water costs more to repair.
Plenty of Petaluma families have dialed a big national number and waited through hold music before a random contractor showed up hours later, and Hirex Water Damage exists specifically to fix that pattern. Every technician you'll meet is a direct Hirex Water Damage employee, not a subcontractor pulled from an app.
Certification isn't just a logo on our site — our Petaluma crew leads have logged real hours on clean, gray, and contaminated water losses, which is why Structural Drying in Petaluma is treated as a specialty, not a side offering. Full insurance and Petaluma, CA licensing back every job we take in Petaluma.
Because our gear is staged locally rather than shipped in, Petaluma response times run well ahead of a typical national franchise.
Talk to a Petaluma landlord who's lived through a burst supply line at 3am and they'll confirm that response speed, not just skill, determines how much a job ends up costing. That gap between a fast, equipped response and a slow, improvised one is exactly what Hirex Water Damage was built to close.
Our Petaluma technicians go through regular continuing education, because a method that was standard five years ago may not be the best option today.
The Petaluma jobs that end up gutting a room almost always started quiet, not with a flood. Here's what tells our team a Petaluma property needs a professional look rather than a mop and a fan:
If you're nodding along, get ahead of it now — our Petaluma dispatcher will tell you honestly whether it's urgent or something we can schedule.
From a single flooded closet to a three-story commercial building, our Petaluma crews scale the response to match the actual damage. Each item on this list corresponds to an actual step in our process, not a generic label.
Truck-mount extraction on every Petaluma rig means high-volume pickup starts the same day, not the next. Moisture mapping follows every extraction so we know which materials are still holding water once the visible flooding is gone.
We calculate drying needs using humidity and temperature data rather than guessing at equipment placement, with daily logs so you can watch the numbers improve.
For Petaluma families, our scope covers flood-cut work, subfloor evaluation, and packing out belongings that can be cleaned and restored, with photo documentation at every stage for your insurance file.
For commercial Petaluma accounts, we assign a lead, run crews outside normal hours to limit downtime, and size equipment to the actual footprint — a flooded lobby or a leaking unit above tenants has to move fast.
Blackwater losses in Petaluma get handled under strict Category 3 protocol from containment through documented disposal.
On top of standard drying, our Petaluma crews apply antimicrobial treatment and will tell you plainly if a section needs specialist attention.

Extraction happens right away, with drying equipment placed only after moisture mapping is complete.
We don't close the Petaluma file until the numbers confirm the structure is dry, with full photo and moisture documentation in hand.
Our Petaluma technicians take moisture readings at the start and end of every job, and the final number has to hit dry standard before we leave. If a callback within 30 days shows lingering moisture from the same loss, we return and correct it at no additional charge.
We put the guarantee directly on the work order for every Petaluma job, in writing. We try to return the same crew for any callback so the person handling it already knows the property and the original readings.
A guarantee only means something if it's backed by documented numbers, which is why every Petaluma job closes with instrument readings attached.
