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. Our San Luis Obispo-based teams arrive with truck-mount extractors, moisture meters, and drying gear staged and ready to go.
Hirex Water Damage started because homeowners in San Luis Obispo, 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 San Luis Obispo 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 Structural Drying in San Luis Obispo isn't a side service we tacked on β it's the reason the company exists. We're fully insured and licensed to work anywhere in San Luis Obispo, CA, so you're protected from the moment our truck pulls into the driveway.
Because our equipment lives in a San Luis Obispo, CA warehouse rather than out of state, we're not waiting on a supply run before we can start extraction.
Ask any San Luis Obispo property manager who has dealt with a burst supply line at 3am β 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 San Luis Obispo call at a time.

Whether it's one bedroom carpet or an entire flooded commercial floor, our San Luis Obispo crews scale the response to match the loss β nothing gets a cookie-cutter response.
Our San Luis Obispo units run truck-mount extraction pumps that pull thousands of gallons per hour, cutting standing-water time from days to hours. Every extraction job includes moisture mapping so we know exactly which materials are still holding water once the visible flooding is gone.
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.
On the residential side in San Luis Obispo, we handle the flood-cut, subfloor checks, and content pack-out so your home is ready to rebuild, with clear photo documentation at every stage for your insurance claim.
