Our Water Restoration Process

When water damage strikes, fast and proper cleanup is critical to prevent long-term structural problems, mold growth, and content loss. At MSI, we follow a detailed water restoration process that ensures your home or business is restored quickly, safely, and thoroughly.

Water damage restoration service

Here’s how our team handles water damage restoration:

  • Source Identification – We locate and stop the source of water intrusion — whether it’s a broken pipe, appliance leak, or roof failure — to prevent further damage.
  • Water Extraction – Using high-powered vacuums and pumps, we remove all standing water. This may include draining flooded areas, vacuuming carpet, or removing water from wall cavities and subfloors.
  • Damage Assessment & Documentation - We inspect all affected materials, classify the category of water (clean, gray, or black), and document the damage with photos and moisture readings for insurance purposes.
  • Structural Drying – Air movers and commercial-grade dehumidifiers are used to dry flooring, walls, and building materials. We continuously monitor conditions to ensure fast, controlled drying.
  • Moisture Monitoring & Adjustments - We take daily moisture and humidity readings using advanced equipment. If drying progress stalls, we adjust airflow, dehumidifiers, or containment to accelerate results.
  • Final Reporting & Claim Support - Once drying is complete, we compile detailed reports, drying logs, and invoices for you or your insurance company. We remain available throughout the claims process to ensure smooth communication.

Water Damage Doesn’t Wait—Neither Should You

Even a small leak can lead to major structural issues, mold growth, and expensive repairs. MSI responds 24/7 with expert water damage restoration backed by over 25 years of experience. Call now to protect your property before the damage spreads.

Types of Water Damage We Handle

Not all water damage is the same — and each type requires a different level of response. At MSI, we assess the category of water immediately upon arrival to determine the safest and most effective restoration plan. Here’s how the industry classifies water damage:

  • Category 1 – Clean Water

This is water from a clean and sanitary source, such as a broken water supply line, a leaking faucet, or an overflowing sink. While not immediately hazardous, it must be addressed quickly. Left untreated, even clean water can turn into a health risk by soaking into porous materials and creating conditions for mold growth.

  • Category 2 – Gray Water

Gray water contains a significant level of contamination and may cause illness if exposed to skin or ingested. Common sources include washing machines, dishwashers, toilet overflows (without solid waste), and sump pump backups. Cleanup requires protective measures and disinfection to ensure the area is fully sanitized.

  • Category 3 – Black Water

This is the most dangerous form of water damage. It includes water contaminated by sewage, floodwaters from rivers or streets, or long-standing stagnant water. Black water carries harmful bacteria, viruses, and toxic substances. Cleanup requires full PPE, removal of saturated materials, and complete disinfection. Affected areas must be treated with extreme caution.

At MSI, we follow IICRC-certified protocols for each water category to ensure your property is restored safely and correctly. Whether it’s a minor leak or a major flood, we bring the expertise and equipment to handle it all. No matter the type of water damage, MSI is ready 24/7 to help you recover quickly, safely, and completely.

Frequently Asked Question

Yes, but it depends on the source. Most insurance policies cover sudden and accidental water damage (like burst pipes or water heater failures), but may not cover gradual leaks or lack of maintenance. MSI works directly with adjusters and can help you document your loss and navigate the claims process.

Immediately. Water can start damaging wood, drywall, and flooring within hours—and mold can begin growing in as little as 24–48 hours. Fast response is critical to preventing secondary damage and minimizing repair costs.

Most residential drying jobs take between 3–5 days, depending on how much water was involved, how quickly the response began, and what materials were affected. MSI monitors the drying progress daily and keeps you updated every step of the way.

These guys are great. Joe went above and beyond with talking through my specific situation. Mike did the actual mold inspection and he was great too - prompt, knowledgeable, and fast. I had the report in my inbox 2 days later. Highly recommend

Joe and his team were great to work with - Joe responded to all my questions - his team was very organized and diligent and did a great job addressing my mold issues. They removed wallboard and vanity. Joe also recommended a very good person to handle the replacement for the wallboard
How could I possibly express in words my gratitude to Joe, Mike and the entire team at MSI?! When to our horror, water damage brought mold to our home, Joe and the team at MSI came highly recommended from a neighbor and I will be forever grateful. From the first phone call until the insurance claim was processed and the remediation paid for, Joe was kind, informative, and incredibly helpful at connecting us to the other resources (a public adjuster, duct cleaning, etc.) we would need to take care of our home. They got to us quickly and our job was quite extensive. The team was highly professional, communicative, and efficient. They took care of the mold and kept us safe and informed every step of the way. Should you ever need mold remediation work done, MSI is the only team I would call!

I recently worked with Mold Solutions and Inspections following a water loss insurance claim, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. Joe was incredibly helpful, taking the time to explain every step of the process and providing support from start to finish. The entire team was punctual, professional, respectful, and kept the work area clean throughout the project. Their attention to detail and commitment to customer service made a stressful situation much easier to navigate. I've already recommended them to a coworker and would highly recommend them to anyone dealing with a water loss or insurance claim.

Joe and his team at MSI were fantastic! They helped us clear up a water damage issue in our basement in Point Breeze. The guys who came buy were efficient and professional. Joe himself has been great, even going above and beyond to provide guidance and recommendations for next steps after his job was done. I highly recommend this company!

We’ve lived in our home for almost 20 years and have (unfortunately) needed MSI’s services four different times. Each time, Joe and his team have been outstanding. From the first phone call to the final follow‑up, every step is handled with genuine friendliness and true professionalism. Joe even remembered us after more than a decade between jobs.

In a time when it can be hard to get service providers to even call you back, MSI is a real standout. No one wants to deal with water damage or mold, but knowing this team is out there doing high‑quality, reliable work has been a game changer for us as homeowners.

Fast, Reliable and Straight to the Point! I called for a mold inspection quote and within minutes, Joe returned my call and scheduled my inspection. Mike was able to come out the next day, and the tests took no time at all. After the tests, Joe reviewed the results with me and clearly answered my questions about them. I appreciate their professionalism, and I highly recommend MSI if you need a mold inspection.
Joe and his team were excellent. Immediately responded and started the job within 24 hours. Extremely communicatative; explained everything in detail.

These guys have 5 stars for a reason. We had an issue with bathroom mold that needed to be treated and I had to cancel after setting a date. Joe was understanding, communicative, and helpful along the way. Once we rescheduled, the team was full of professionals that diligently remediated the affected area and cleaned up everything nicer than when they first arrived. I highly recommend them to anyone and everyone.

Joe arrived on time, entertained me with tales of traditional deep South Philly, where up means down (south) and down means up (north) -- or maybe vice versa? -- and educated me unsurprisingly on mold (you can't just buy the machine that tests for it, for example, you need certification). And he taught me something I will never forget about footwear (won't share this important and memorable lesson here, however). Generally, a pleasant, efficient process to ensure that some roof leak damage hadn't developed into something nasty/pathological. He called to discuss the results he shared via email a few days after the testing and explained everything clearly. Fully confident in his expertise -- and will call again without hesitation if it comes down to it.

Joe is the absolute best. We needed to find someone to help test for mold during our inspection process. Joe and his team provided exceptional and timely service. Joe’s candor and willingness to talk you through the issues is exactly what we needed as first time home buyers. We 100% recommend MSI.

I recently purchased by first home and discovered there was mold in the crawl space. I closed on this home Friday of one week and had roommates moving in the very next Thursday. Joe, the owner of MSI, came out on Saturday, gave me a quote, and MSI was able to start on that Monday and get the job done in time! Joe is an amazing person that carries himself in a very disciplined and professional way, and he stands behind his company's work! The crew was equally as amazing and professional. Very kind, respectful, and a thorough job done top to bottom. After the job was completed, Joe was kind enough to explain to me how to set up my dehumidifier in my crawl space so the mold has a snowball's chance in hell of coming back. MSI is an amazing company, a quality brand, and a pleasure to interact with. Should the need arise, they'll be hearing from me again for more business! Thank you MSI!

I can’t say enough good things about MSI and especially Joe, the owner. From the very first phone call, he was incredibly kind and understanding of my anxiety about having mold in our home with an 8-month-old baby. I reached out with a lot of questions (probably more than most!) and Joe was always patient and never made me feel like I was bothering him.

They were able to start the remediation within a week of contacting them, which gave us huge peace of mind. The team was professional, respectful of our home, and explained what they were doing each step of the way. Knowing our baby’s health and safety were a priority to them made such a difference.

Should we need further remediation, we will definitely continue using them. I’m so grateful we found MSI and would recommend them to anyone who needs mold remediation.
