Whether it's a slow drip that finally gave out or a sudden flood at midnight, Novato residents call one number and get a real answer. Hirex Water Damage keeps Water Damage Repair crews and equipment staged inside Novato so a technician can be at your door quickly.
We built Hirex Water Damage's Novato operation after hearing the same complaint over and over: the "24/7" number that never actually answers when it matters. Every technician you'll meet is a direct Hirex Water Damage employee, not a subcontractor pulled from an app.
Our lead technicians hold IICRC water restoration certification and have worked jobs ranging from a single soaked bedroom to a fully flooded commercial floor, which is why Water Damage Repair in Novato is treated as a specialty, not a side offering. We carry full liability coverage and hold active licensing to operate throughout Novato, CA.
Equipment lives in a Novato-area warehouse rather than being trucked in from three counties over, which shortens arrival time considerably.
Ask any Novato property manager who's dealt with an overnight pipe failure and they'll tell you the real cost isn't the leak itself — it's how long standing water sits before someone with the right equipment shows up. That gap between a fast, equipped response and a slow, improvised one is exactly what Hirex Water Damage was built to close.
Staying current on restoration techniques matters as much in Novato as the equipment itself, which is why training isn't a one-time certification and done.
Plenty of the worst jobs we've walked into in Novato started as something small that got put off for a few weeks. 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.
Once extraction wraps, commercial air movers and LGR dehumidifiers go to work based on psychrometric readings, not a flat per-room count, with daily logs so you can watch the numbers improve.
For Novato homeowners, that means flood-cut drywall removal, subfloor assessment, and content pack-out for anything salvageable, with photo documentation at every stage for your insurance file.
For commercial Novato 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.
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.
Every Novato estimate is written and explained up front — no vague "we'll see how it goes" pricing.
Response times in Novato usually beat the industry average by a wide margin thanks to local equipment.
We document every Novato job with photos and moisture logs and can speak directly with your adjuster.
If moisture readings aren't where they should be at the end of a Novato job, we come back and keep drying at no extra charge.
Tell our Novato dispatcher what's happening — a few quick questions get the right equipment on the first trip.
Our nearest available Novato crew is dispatched immediately with truck-mount gear on board.
We extract immediately, followed by a moisture survey that tells us precisely where Novato drying equipment needs to go.
Daily moisture checks continue on every Novato job until each material reads dry, and you get a full report at the end.
We measure moisture with instruments, not guesswork, and won't sign off on a Novato job until readings match the dry standard for the materials involved. 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 Novato 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.
We built this guarantee because Novato property owners deserve more than a verbal assurance that a job is done — they deserve proof.

See the zip codes and nearby cities listed below — our Novato crews cover that full radius.
We can work out an access arrangement so Novato homeowners aren't tied to the property for days straight.
