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 Universal City-based teams arrive with truck-mount extractors, moisture meters, and drying gear staged and ready to go.
Hirex Water Damage started because homeowners in Universal City, TX 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 Universal City 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 Emergency Water Damage in Universal City isn't a side service we tacked on — it's the reason the company exists. Full liability coverage and Universal City, TX licensing back every job we take, so you're protected from the moment our truck pulls into the driveway.
Our Universal City, TX-based equipment cache means drying gear is already close by, not stuck in a truck three states away.
Ask any Universal City property manager who has dealt with a burst supply line at 3am — 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 Universal City call at a time.
Not every leak announces itself with a flooded floor. A lot of the worst damage we see in Universal City started small and got ignored for weeks. Here's what tells us a property needs professional attention rather than a mop and a fan:
If any of that sounds familiar, don't wait for it to get worse — call our Universal City line and we'll tell you honestly whether it's a same-day emergency or something we can schedule.

Truck-mounted extraction equipment on every Universal City rig pulls high volumes of standing water fast, so drying starts the same day instead of the next. Every extraction job includes moisture mapping so we know exactly which materials are still holding water once the visible flooding is gone.
We place industrial dehumidifiers and air movers based on actual psychrometric calculations, not a standard equipment count per room, with daily drying logs so you can see the numbers improving, not just take our word for it.
