Whether it's a slow leak that's been eating your subfloor for weeks or a flooded basement at 2am, our Somerville crews are already moving. We dispatch Somerville units carrying industrial extraction pumps, air movers, and commercial dehumidifiers already loaded on the truck.
Too many Somerville, MA families have called a big national number only to get bounced through hold music before a random subcontractor shows up hours later, so Hirex Water Damage built its Somerville operation differently. Every technician on our Somerville 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 Basement Flooding in Somerville isn't a side service we tacked on — it's the reason the company exists. We're fully insured and licensed to work anywhere in Somerville, MA, so you're protected from the moment our truck pulls into the driveway.
Our Somerville, MA-based equipment cache means drying gear is already close by, not stuck in a truck three states away.
Ask any Somerville 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 Somerville call at a time.
The most expensive Somerville 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 Somerville dispatcher will give you an honest read on urgency, not a sales pitch.
We size the Somerville response to the actual damage — a single-room extraction gets a two-person crew, a commercial loss gets the full fleet — nothing gets a cookie-cutter response.
Truck-mounted extraction equipment on every Somerville rig pulls high volumes of standing water fast, so drying starts the same day instead of the next. Every extraction job includes moisture mapping so we know exactly which materials are still holding water once the visible flooding is gone.
Our drying plans use moisture meters and thermal imaging to target air movers exactly where hidden moisture is trapped, with daily drying logs so you can see the numbers improving, not just take our word for it.
On the residential side in Somerville, 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.
Multi-unit and commercial Somerville 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 Somerville crews are trained for exactly that protocol.
On top of standard drying, our Somerville crews treat affected materials to reduce mold risk and will be upfront if a section needs specialist remediation.
You get a written estimate before any equipment runs, not a mystery total handed to you after the fact.
Our Somerville, MA warehouse keeps drying equipment close, which typically puts a Somerville tech at your door inside an hour.
We document everything with photos and moisture logs and work directly with your adjuster so you're not stuck translating restoration jargon.
Final moisture readings have to hit dry-standard before we consider a Somerville job done, and getting there again is on us, not you.
A short call with our Somerville dispatcher tells us whether this is a one-room job or a multi-crew response before anyone drives out.
Our nearest available Somerville crew is dispatched immediately with truck-mount extraction gear on board.
Extraction happens immediately, followed by a moisture survey that tells us precisely where the drying equipment needs to go.
We re-check moisture levels daily until materials hit dry standard, then hand you full documentation for your records or your insurer.
Every Somerville 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.
You'll find that exact commitment printed on your Somerville paperwork, not just mentioned over the phone. We try to send the original technician back for any follow-up so you're not re-explaining the job to someone new.

Drying time varies with material and how quickly extraction started, but 3 to 5 days is typical for most Somerville jobs.
Not if it's addressed quickly — mold generally needs 24-48 hours of sustained moisture, which is exactly why fast extraction matters.
