Whether it's a slow leak that's been eating your subfloor for weeks or a flooded basement at 2am, our Petaluma crews are already moving. Our Petaluma-based teams arrive with truck-mount extractors, moisture meters, and drying gear staged and ready to go.

Hirex Water Damage started because homeowners in Petaluma, 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 Petaluma roster is a Hirex Water Damage employee, not a gig-app contractor pulled from a random directory.
Our crew leads carry IICRC water restoration certifications and have logged real hours on Category 1, 2, and 3 losses, so Water Damage Repair in Petaluma isn't a side service we tacked on — it's the reason the company exists. We carry full general liability coverage and are licensed to operate throughout Petaluma, CA, so you're protected from the moment our truck pulls into the driveway.
Because our equipment lives in a Petaluma, CA warehouse rather than out of state, we're not waiting on a supply run before we can start extraction.
Ask any Petaluma property manager who has dealt with a burst supply line at 3am — 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 Petaluma call at a time.

The most expensive Petaluma restoration jobs we run almost never started as a dramatic flood; they started as something small that got put off. 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 — our Petaluma 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 Petaluma teams are equipped to scale up or down — nothing gets a cookie-cutter response.
We arrive with submersible pumps and truck-mount extractors that get standing water out of a Petaluma property before it soaks deeper into the subfloor. Every extraction job includes moisture mapping so we know exactly which materials are still holding water once the visible flooding is gone.
We place industrial dehumidifiers and air movers based on actual psychrometric calculations, not a standard equipment count per room, with daily drying logs so you can see the numbers improving, not just take our word for it.
For Petaluma 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 Petaluma properties get their own project manager plus enough drying equipment to cover the real square footage, not a token setup — 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 — our Petaluma crews are trained for exactly that protocol.
We apply antimicrobial treatment during every Petaluma drying job specifically to head off mold before it starts, and we'll flag any area that needs deeper remediation.

You get a written estimate before any equipment runs, not a mystery total handed to you after the fact.
Local staging inside Petaluma, CA means Petaluma response times usually beat the national average by a wide margin.
We document everything with photos and moisture logs and work directly with your adjuster so you're not stuck translating restoration jargon.
If moisture readings aren't where they should be at the end of the job, we come back and keep drying at no extra charge.
Tell our Petaluma dispatcher what's happening — we'll ask a few quick questions to send the right equipment on the first trip.
Our nearest available Petaluma crew is dispatched immediately with truck-mount extraction gear on board.
We remove standing water first, then map moisture and position air movers and dehumidifiers based on the readings.
We don't close the file until the numbers confirm the structure is dry, and you leave with full photo and moisture documentation.

Every Petaluma job gets closed based on instrument readings, not a visual check, and we won't call it finished until the numbers say it's finished. 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 — it's written into every Petaluma work order we issue. If a second visit is ever needed, it comes from the same crew that handled the original job whenever scheduling allows, since they already know the property and the readings we started from.
