Fire Damage Restoration Richboro PA
Our core principles are simple: Integrity, Loyalty, Honesty and Pride in the work we do and the relationships we build with all of our customers.
Cooking and heating are the leading causes of house fires and fire injuries, with the winter months being peak times for fire-related deaths. And when a fire or smoke damage incident occurs in your home or business, prompt action is a must. Even after the fire has been extinguished the damage will still continue. When synthetic materials in both furniture and flooring are burned, it can create a variety of chemical reactions giving you a small window between items being salvageable or trash. The professional fire damage restoration of Richboro team at MSI is here to help.

Initial Fire Damage Mitigation Actions
Every minute counts when a fire occurs in a property, so quick action is the first necessary step in the fire and smoke damage restoration process. Much of the structural damage and lingering effects from a fire are not immediately apparent, as damage can be hidden in wall cavities and Â
building assemblies. Our initial plan of action begins after we determine the full extent of the damage so we can create detailed estimations and accurate loss documentation sheets for insurance purposes.
Board Up Services
Securing and stabilizing the structure after a fire is the first step in the mitigation process as this covers up vulnerabilities within the building’s envelope to prevent further damage from weather, animal and/or rodent infestation and vandalism.
Content Pack-Out
An item by item inspection determines the salvageability of the contents in the property after the fire has occurred. Each item will be documented for insurance purposes as some items may be cleaned while others may need to be discarded.
Air Quality
The use of air scrubbers equipped with carbon filters and others with HEPA filtration systems are used to trap contaminants circulating in the air even at a microscopic level. These machines can also remove carcinogenic soot particles.
Our 7 Step Fire Damage Restoration Process
At MSI, we use a 7 step fire damage restoration process utilizing the latest equipment and techniques to ensure the safest, quickest and most reliable fire and smoke cleanup available. Our fire and smoke damage protocols are:
- Assessment – After we are called, we will inspect the property for the full extent of damage, photograph the damage and catalog all losses while directly working with your adjuster. 2. Board Up – We will board up and/or tarp all places where we can ensure security from further damage and burglary.Â
- Pack Out – We will pack out and move all contents and furniture which can be restored to pre-loss conditions.Â
- Water Removal – To extinguish most fires the use of water can cause equal damage to the structure, so we will mitigate all water damage to the property before mold has an opportunity to grow.Â
- Removal of Smoke & Soot – We utilize specialized equipment and techniques to remove smoke and soot from the structure before it settles in and causes more damage. 6. Cleaning & Sanitizing – We will clean all of the restorable items and structures that were damaged by the fire and also remove odors using industrial air scrubbers, fogging equipment and ozone machines where applicable.Â
- Restoration – We will have your property ready fro the reconstruction so you can get back to living or business in a quick, safe and cost efficient manner.
Odor Removal
Odors results from airborne chemicals, gases and tiny particles. Knowing the proper process for odor removal is imperative and not just masking a smell, but being able to actually remove it permanently. The odors from a fire or smoke damage are no different, and our IICRC Certified Odor Removal team at MSI has the experience and know how to properly remove odors from a fire that can linger forever if not effectively eradicated. Our 4 step odor removal process is as follows:Â
- Remove the Source: No odor removal effort is effective if the source remains. Odor causing residues will continue to fester until the source is removed, no matter how many chemical treatments or masking agent you apply.Â
- Clean Any Residues: Cleaning with the appropriate agents at the source area using brushes, cleaning pads and/or abrasive pads or a combination so odor causing particles are removed.Â
- Recreate the Penetration: Replicating the way the malodor traveled through the environment and then penetrated surfaces by employing cleaning, water-soluble deodorants, wet fogging, hot fogging, gas counteraction or a combination.Â
- Seal Surfaces: Using non-porous sealers to encapsulate the odoriferous molecules and resulting staining prior to painting are implemented when odor removal is not possible due to the degree of saturation.Â
