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. Our Somerville-based teams arrive with truck-mount extractors, moisture meters, and drying gear staged and ready to go.
Too many Somerville, NJ 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, NJ, so you're protected from the moment our truck pulls into the driveway.
We keep a stocked warehouse inside Somerville, NJ 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.
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.
From a single soaked bedroom to a commercial building with three flooded floors, our Somerville teams are equipped to scale up or down — nothing gets a cookie-cutter response.
We arrive with submersible pumps and truck-mount extractors that get standing water out of a Somerville property before it soaks deeper into the subfloor. 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.
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.
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.
You get a written estimate before any equipment runs, not a mystery total handed to you after the fact.
Our Somerville, NJ warehouse keeps drying equipment close, which typically puts a Somerville tech at your door inside an hour.
Our paperwork is built to match what adjusters expect, and we'll speak with your insurer directly on your behalf.
If moisture readings aren't where they should be at the end of the job, we come back and keep drying at no extra charge.
Tell our Somerville dispatcher what's happening — we'll ask a few quick questions to send the right equipment on the first trip.
The closest available technician is routed to your Somerville property with equipment staged and ready.
Extraction happens immediately, followed by a moisture survey that tells us precisely where the drying equipment needs to go.
Daily moisture checks continue until every affected material reads dry, and you get a complete report at the end.
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.
That's not a marketing line — it's written into every Somerville work order we issue. If a second visit is ever needed, it comes from the same crew that handled the original job whenever scheduling allows, since they already know the property and the readings we started from.

We build our paperwork specifically to match what adjusters need and will speak with your insurer on your behalf.
Dryness is confirmed with instrument readings against a documented dry standard, not just by feeling the wall or carpet.
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.
Typical drying time runs 3-5 days for a Somerville home, though a job that sat unaddressed longer can take longer to fully dry.
Mold isn't inevitable, but the window to prevent it is narrow, which is why we treat speed as part of the Somerville service, not an upsell.
Our Somerville guarantee covers a 30-day callback window — if moisture shows up again from the same loss, we come back free of charge.
