A cracked supply line or an overflowing appliance doesn't check the clock before it ruins a floor. We built our Gates dispatch around speed, because every extra hour of standing water costs more to repair.
Plenty of Gates families have dialed a big national number and waited through hold music before a random contractor showed up hours later, and Hirex Water Damage exists specifically to fix that pattern. 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 Structural Drying in Gates is treated as a specialty, not a side offering. You're protected from the moment our truck reaches your Gates address, thanks to full coverage and proper Gates, OR licensing.
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.
Plenty of the worst jobs we've walked into in Gates started as something small that got put off for a few weeks. Here's what tells our team a Gates property needs a professional look rather than a mop and a fan:
If you're nodding along, get ahead of it now — our Gates dispatcher will tell you honestly whether it's urgent or something we can schedule.
Whether it's a small residential leak or a large commercial loss, our Gates teams size the crew and equipment to fit. Every service below reflects a specific piece of equipment or protocol, not just a marketing category.
We arrive with submersible pumps and truck-mount extractors built to clear a flooded Gates room before water soaks deeper into the subfloor. 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.
Multi-unit and commercial properties in Gates get their own project manager plus enough drying equipment for the real square footage, not a token setup — a flooded lobby or a leaking unit above tenants has to move fast.
Blackwater losses in Gates get handled under strict Category 3 protocol from containment through documented disposal.
On top of standard drying, our Gates crews apply antimicrobial treatment and will tell you plainly if a section needs specialist attention.
Every Gates estimate is written and explained up front — no vague "we'll see how it goes" pricing.
Response times in Gates usually beat the industry average by a wide margin thanks to local equipment.
Our paperwork is built to match what Gates, OR adjusters expect, so you're not stuck translating restoration jargon.
Final moisture readings have to hit dry-standard before we consider any Gates job done, and getting there again is on us.
Tell our Gates dispatcher what's happening — a few quick questions get the right equipment on the first trip.
Our nearest available Gates crew is dispatched immediately with truck-mount gear on board.
We extract immediately, followed by a moisture survey that tells us precisely where Gates drying equipment needs to go.
We re-check moisture daily until materials hit dry standard, then hand you full documentation for your records.
Our Gates technicians take moisture readings at the start and end of every job, and the final number has to hit dry standard before we leave. If a callback within 30 days shows lingering moisture from the same loss, we return and correct it at no additional charge.
We put the guarantee directly on the work order for every Gates job, in writing. We try to return the same crew for any callback so the person handling it already knows the property and the original readings.
A guarantee only means something if it's backed by documented numbers, which is why every Gates job closes with instrument readings attached.

We stand behind every Gates job with a documented dry-standard guarantee.
Our Gates coverage extends through the zip codes shown here and into nearby Gates, OR towns.
Not necessarily — many Gates customers arrange access for our daily check-ins while they're at work, and we coordinate scheduling around that.
Our Gates dispatch covers the full city plus a wide radius of surrounding zip codes, backed by additional crews staged throughout Gates, OR for larger losses. If your address falls inside or near Gates, a Hirex Water Damage crew can typically respond the same day.
