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 Port Townsend-based teams arrive with truck-mount extractors, moisture meters, and drying gear staged and ready to go.
Hirex Water Damage started because homeowners in Port Townsend, WA 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 Port Townsend 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 Structural Drying in Port Townsend 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 Port Townsend, WA, so you're protected from the moment our truck pulls into the driveway.
Because our equipment lives in a Port Townsend, WA warehouse rather than out of state, we're not waiting on a supply run before we can start extraction.
Ask any Port Townsend 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 Port Townsend call at a time.
