Biohazard Removal Downingtown PA

Biohazard Cleanup
Property Recovery 911 was contacted by management personnel of a leading pest control company to perform an emergency biohazard job. The need for biohazard removal is often associated with the possibility of viral or bacterial transmission via the discharge of bodily fluids as the result of some traumatic event. The term ‘biohazard’ can be broadly defined as something that may cause harm to people or the environment, such as an infectious disease or a poisonous chemical. In this instance, emergency biohazard cleanup was necessary as a result of the latter.

Storefront Board Up Philadelphia

Emergency Glass Repair Philadelphia

Property Recovery 911 was contacted to perform a commercial board up job at the Dunkin’ Donuts located in the Roxborough section of Philadelphia. Emergency glass repair requires that measurements be taken on location fallowed by processing at an offsite glass shop, which can take hours or even days depending on the type of glass required and the condition of the frame.

In this instance, emergency glass repair in a timely manner was impossible as a 12' wide section of the plate-glass and aluminum frame wall was struck by an automobile and utterly destroyed. Thankfully, no one within the establishment or on the busy street was injured in the accident.

Montgomery County Raw Sewage Spill

Sewage Spill Cleanup

Property Recovery 911 was contacted by a homeowner who was referred to us by a Chubb Insurance agency for a sewage spill cleanup. Located in the Penn Valley section of Montgomery County Pennsylvania, the homes soil line was clogged for an indeterminate period of time as the elderly occupants rarely accessed the basement. Ongoing use of the drainage system resulted in an extensive raw sewage spill erupting from the air conditioning condensate drain every time the plumbing was used. Once discovered, drain cleaners were enlisted to remove the blockage and Property Recovery 911 technicians were immediately dispatched to perform professional sewage removal, including sewage spill cleanup as well as disinfecting and cleaning the entire area.

Philadelphia Board Up

Vacant property security is essential to protecting an owners interests. The most cost effective method to secure vacant property and limit ones exposure to the elements as well as intrusions is board up. Inadequate security often results in vandalism, theft and hostile occupation rendering the building owner vulnerable to material loss as well as legal liabilities that can have extremely deleterious effects to one’s financial well-being. Window and door board up is a relatively inexpensive and highly effective method.

Philadelphia Mold Removal

Property Recovery 911 was contacted to bid on a Philadelphia mold remediation job that was the result of a plumbing supply line leak.  The slow but consistent drip was active for an unspecified period of time as the problem was isolated within the wall cavity of a seldom used finished basement.  The presence of moisture in an enclosed area with little ventilation is an ideal environment for mold contamination, which was the exact circumstances with this Philadelphia mold removal job.

Bucks County Board Up

Property Recovery 911 was called in to do this Bucks County board up job on Saturday October 18 at 3:45am. The elderly residents were asleep when their living room window was smashed, and a large piece of slate was thrown through the 9 lite back door window. The assailant(s) reached through the breached rear door window to unlock the door and gain access to the ‘mud room’. Once inside, the intruders encountered a second locked door that led into the living room and attempted to kick it in. Waking to the commotion, the residents made enough noise to scare off the burglar(s) before accessing the epicenter of their home.

Philadelphia Mold Damage

Philadelphia Mold Removal

We were contacted to bid on a Philadelphia mold damage job that was the result of a waste line leak. Prior to contacting us, the homeowner removed a small section of wet drywall in his dining room and discovered extensive mold growth on the inside surface. The leak went undetected for an indeterminate period of time as the flow of waste water was too slight to be readily apparent and quickly identified. This ongoing release of moisture into the ceiling cavity with little air movement presented ideal conditions for mold contamination and the need for mold clean up.
