Water damage in Gates rarely waits for a convenient hour, and neither does our dispatch line. We built our Gates dispatch around speed, because every extra hour of standing water costs more to repair.
Hirex Water Damage didn't start as a franchise looking for a new zip code to expand into — it started because Gates homeowners kept describing the same frustrating experience: a national hotline, a long hold, and a subcontractor nobody vetted. Every technician you'll meet is a direct Hirex Water Damage employee, not a subcontractor pulled from an app.
Our lead technicians hold IICRC water restoration certification and have worked jobs ranging from a single soaked bedroom to a fully flooded commercial floor, which is why Flood Damage Cleanup in Gates is treated as a specialty, not a side offering. We carry full liability coverage and hold active licensing to operate throughout Gates, OR.
Equipment lives in a Gates-area warehouse rather than being trucked in from three counties over, which shortens arrival time considerably.
Talk to a Gates landlord who's lived through a burst supply line at 3am and they'll confirm that response speed, not just skill, determines how much a job ends up costing. That gap between a fast, equipped response and a slow, improvised one is exactly what Hirex Water Damage was built to close.
Our Gates technicians go through regular continuing education, because a method that was standard five years ago may not be the best option today.
Not every water problem looks dramatic — some of the costliest Gates repairs began as a barely-noticeable issue. Here's what tells our team a Gates property needs a professional look rather than a mop and a fan:
Recognizing one of these early is the difference between a contained repair and a gutted room, so reach out to our Gates team before it spreads.
Whether it's a small residential leak or a large commercial loss, our Gates teams size the crew and equipment to fit. Each item on this list corresponds to an actual step in our process, not a generic label.
Our Gates units carry truck-mount extraction pumps that pull standing water out fast, cutting exposure time from days to hours. Moisture mapping follows every extraction so we know which materials are still holding water once the visible flooding is gone.
Once extraction wraps, commercial air movers and LGR dehumidifiers go to work based on psychrometric readings, not a flat per-room count, with daily logs so you can watch the numbers improve.
On the residential side in Gates, we handle the flood cut, subfloor checks, and content pack-out so the home is ready for rebuild, with photo documentation at every stage for your insurance file.
For commercial Gates accounts, we assign a lead, run crews outside normal hours to limit downtime, and size equipment to the actual footprint — a flooded lobby or a leaking unit above tenants has to move fast.
When a Gates job involves sewage backup, our team suits up fully, applies EPA-registered antimicrobials, and disposes of porous materials that can't be saved.
On top of standard drying, our Gates crews apply antimicrobial treatment and will tell you plainly if a section needs specialist attention.
You'll see a written estimate before any equipment runs on your Gates property, not a mystery total after the fact.
Local staging inside Gates typically puts a tech at your door quickly, not after a long drive across the region.
Our paperwork is built to match what Gates, OR adjusters expect, so you're not stuck translating restoration jargon.

We extract immediately, followed by a moisture survey that tells us precisely where Gates drying equipment needs to go.
We don't close the Gates file until the numbers confirm the structure is dry, with full photo and moisture documentation in hand.
We measure moisture with instruments, not guesswork, and won't sign off on a Gates job until readings match the dry standard for the materials involved. If a callback within 30 days shows lingering moisture from the same loss, we return and correct it at no additional charge.
You'll find that exact guarantee printed on your Gates paperwork, not only spoken over the phone. We try to return the same crew for any callback so the person handling it already knows the property and the original readings.
We built this guarantee because Gates property owners deserve more than a verbal assurance that a job is done — they deserve proof.
