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 Water Removal in Somerville 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 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.
Anyone in Somerville who has had a supply line fail overnight knows the real cost isn't the leak itself, it's how long the standing water sits before someone with the right equipment arrives. That's the gap Hirex Water Damage was built to close, one Somerville call at a time.
Water damage doesn't always look dramatic at first — some of the costliest Somerville jobs we've handled began as a small, easy-to-miss problem. Here's what tells us a property needs professional attention rather than a mop and a fan:
Recognizing one of these signs early is the difference between a contained repair and a gutted room, so call our Somerville team and get a straight answer on how urgent it is.
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.
Our Somerville 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 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.
Somerville businesses and property managers get a dedicated project lead, after-hours crews, and equipment scaled to square footage rather than a single-crew response — we know a flooded lobby or a leaking unit above tenants below has to move fast.
Blackwater losses in Somerville get handled under strict Category 3 protocol: containment, PPE, antimicrobial application, and documented disposal of contaminated materials.
We apply antimicrobial treatment during every Somerville drying job specifically to head off mold before it starts, and we'll flag any area that needs deeper remediation.
Every Somerville estimate is written and explained before work begins — no vague "we'll see how it goes" pricing.
Local staging inside Somerville, MA means Somerville 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.
We don't call a job finished until the moisture meter agrees, and if it doesn't, we return at no additional cost.
Our Somerville team asks a handful of targeted questions so the truck that shows up already has the right gear loaded.
Our nearest available Somerville crew is dispatched immediately with truck-mount extraction gear on board.
Standing water comes out first; drying equipment gets placed only after we've mapped exactly where moisture is hiding.
We re-check moisture levels daily until materials hit dry standard, then hand you full documentation for your records or your insurer.
Our Somerville technicians use moisture meters at the start and the end of every job, and the final number has to hit the dry standard before we leave. If a callback shows lingering moisture within 30 days of a completed job, we return and correct it at no additional charge.
We put that guarantee directly on the Somerville work order, not just in an ad. We try to send the original technician back for any follow-up so you're not re-explaining the job to someone new.

We rely on moisture meters and psychrometric readings, not a guess, before signing off on a Somerville job as complete.
Blackwater and sewage response is a core part of what our Somerville team does, not a job we sub out.
If it's safe, shut off the water source, move electronics and valuables away from the affected area, and avoid the space if standing water is near outlets.
We scale crews and equipment for commercial Somerville accounts and assign a dedicated project lead for anything beyond a single unit.
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.
