A cracked supply line or an overflowing appliance doesn't check the clock before it ruins a floor. We built our Novato dispatch around speed, because every extra hour of standing water costs more to repair.
Plenty of Novato 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 Novato crew leads have logged real hours on clean, gray, and contaminated water losses, which is why Structural Drying in Novato is treated as a specialty, not a side offering. Full insurance and Novato, CA licensing back every job we take in Novato.
Equipment lives in a Novato-area warehouse rather than being trucked in from three counties over, which shortens arrival time considerably.
Talk to a Novato 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 Novato technicians go through regular continuing education, because a method that was standard five years ago may not be the best option today.
Not every water problem looks dramatic — some of the costliest Novato repairs began as a barely-noticeable issue. Here's what tells our team a Novato property needs a professional look rather than a mop and a fan:
Recognizing one of these early is the difference between a contained repair and a gutted room, so reach out to our Novato team before it spreads.
We don't run a one-size response in Novato — a contained bathroom leak gets a different crew than a flooded restaurant kitchen. Each item on this list corresponds to an actual step in our process, not a generic label.
We arrive with submersible pumps and truck-mount extractors built to clear a flooded Novato room before water soaks deeper into the subfloor. 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 Novato 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.
Multi-unit and commercial properties in Novato get their own project manager plus enough drying equipment for the real square footage, not a token setup — a flooded lobby or a leaking unit above tenants has to move fast.
Category 3 blackwater calls for full PPE, antimicrobial treatment, and disposal of anything porous that touched the contamination — our Novato crews are trained for that exact protocol.
We treat affected materials during every Novato job specifically to lower mold risk, and flag anything that needs deeper remediation.
You'll see a written estimate before any equipment runs on your Novato property, not a mystery total after the fact.
Because equipment is staged inside Novato, most calls see a technician on-site in under an hour.
We photograph and log every step so your Novato claim moves faster and you're not arguing with an insurer alone.
Final moisture readings have to hit dry-standard before we consider any Novato job done, and getting there again is on us.
Our Novato team asks just enough to send the right-sized crew, not a generic single technician every time.
The closest available Novato technician is routed to you with equipment staged and ready.
Standing water comes out first, then we map moisture and position air movers based on the readings.
We re-check moisture daily until materials hit dry standard, then hand you full documentation for your records.
Every Novato job closes based on instrument readings, not a visual check, and we won't call it finished until the numbers say so. If a callback within 30 days shows lingering moisture from the same loss, we return and correct it at no additional charge.
That commitment is written into every Novato work order we issue, not just mentioned in a sales pitch. We try to return the same crew for any callback so the person handling it already knows the property and the original readings.
We built this guarantee because Novato property owners deserve more than a verbal assurance that a job is done — they deserve proof.
