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 Washougal-based teams arrive with truck-mount extractors, moisture meters, and drying gear staged and ready to go.
Hirex Water Damage started because homeowners in Washougal, 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 Washougal 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 Flood Damage Cleanup in Washougal isn't a side service we tacked on โ it's the reason the company exists. We carry full general liability coverage and are licensed to operate throughout Washougal, WA, so you're protected from the moment our truck pulls into the driveway.
Because our equipment lives in a Washougal, WA warehouse rather than out of state, we're not waiting on a supply run before we can start extraction.
Anyone in Washougal 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 Washougal call at a time.
Water damage doesn't always look dramatic at first โ some of the costliest Washougal 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 Washougal team and get a straight answer on how urgent it is.
We size the Washougal response to the actual damage โ a single-room extraction gets a two-person crew, a commercial loss gets the full fleet โ nothing gets a cookie-cutter response.
We arrive with submersible pumps and truck-mount extractors that get standing water out of a Washougal 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.
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.

Category 3 blackwater calls for full PPE, antimicrobial treatment, and disposal of anything porous that touched the contamination โ our Washougal crews are trained for exactly that protocol.
Every Washougal job includes a preventive antimicrobial application, and if we spot conditions that need full remediation we tell you plainly instead of quietly hoping it clears up.
