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.
