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. We dispatch Millbrae units carrying industrial extraction pumps, air movers, and commercial dehumidifiers already loaded on the truck.
Too many Millbrae, CA 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 Millbrae operation differently. Every technician on our Millbrae roster is a Hirex Water Damage employee, not a gig-app contractor pulled from a random directory.
Our senior technicians are IICRC-certified and have worked everything from a clean supply-line break to a full sewage backup, so Basement Flooding in Millbrae 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 Millbrae, CA, so you're protected from the moment our truck pulls into the driveway.
We keep a stocked warehouse inside Millbrae, CA so equipment never has to be trucked in from another region, which is the difference between a 45-minute arrival and a next-day one.
Ask any Millbrae 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 Millbrae call at a time.
Water damage doesn't always look dramatic at first — some of the costliest Millbrae 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 Millbrae team and get a straight answer on how urgent it is.
From a single soaked bedroom to a commercial building with three flooded floors, our Millbrae teams are equipped to scale up or down — nothing gets a cookie-cutter response.
Our Millbrae 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.
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.
For families in Millbrae, this covers flood-cut drywall removal, subfloor evaluation, and packing out salvageable belongings for cleaning, with clear photo documentation at every stage for your insurance claim.
Multi-unit and commercial Millbrae 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.

Our Millbrae 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.
