Water or mold emergency?Emergency?
24/7 Hotline: (717) 928-3545Listed contractors scored from on-file facts — not star ratings
Willow Grove and Upper Moreland sit on Philly-metro trucks that actually list sewage: Jefferson, Royal Water Damage Restoration (Willow Grove HQ, BBB A+ on file), and SERVPRO of Pennypack / Bustleton. Other Willow Grove water cards skip Category 3.
PPE, disposal of finished-basement carpet and pad, sanitization, drying. Post-war housing hides slow leaks; a backup is the opposite — sudden and contaminated. Confirm the shop will dispatch to Montgomery County tonight.
Endorsement or exclusion. This is not a groundwater seepage claim. If the water came up the floor drain, say so to the adjuster.
Finished rec rooms after sewage usually lose porous finishes. Compare three scopes. Statewide notes say Category 3 costs more than a clean-water dry-out — ask for line items.
Scores use only facts already stored on each RestorePA listing. We do not invent ratings, reviews, or credentials. Featured is placement (editorial today, or purchased). It is not a merit rank and is not used in the 2026 score.
1. IICRC certification
+30 if the listing self-reports IICRC. Verify on the IICRC Global Locator — RestorePA does not re-test firms.
2. 24/7 response
+20 if the listing advertises 24/7 emergency response. We have not sat on every after-hours line.
3. HQ in this city
+15 if the address city on file matches this metro. Suburban HQs that still cover the city do not get this bonus.
4. Years in business
+1 per stated year, capped at 40. Missing years score 0 — we do not guess founding dates.
5. Verified license on file
+15 if a PA HIC (or other license) number is already stored on the listing. Confirm on the PA DLI HIC search.
6. BBB rating on file
+10 if a BBB letter grade is already on file from a public listing. Cited as BBB, not a RestorePA star rating.
7. Sewage, mold, website
+5 sewage, +3 mold, +2 public website. Extra service flags only when already listed.

First hour
This is practical safety and insurance hygiene — not a promise that anyone is already on the way.
Shut off the water if you can reach the valve. Stay out of rooms with standing water near outlets. Sewage: keep kids and pets out.
Video a slow walkthrough. Photograph the source. Then lift furniture onto blocks — not before you have pictures.
A plumber fixes the pipe. A restoration company extracts and dries. Most sudden plumbing losses in PA are claimed on homeowners insurance.
Jefferson, Royal Water Damage Restoration, and SERVPRO of Pennypack / Bustleton list sewage and this market. Royal is the Willow Grove HQ independent.
Erie has zero sewage listings. Willow Grove has three. We swapped the sewage slot so the page is a real shortlist, not an empty template.
The 2026 numbered list is a directory score from facts already on each of the 3 listed shops: self-reported IICRC, advertised 24/7 response, whether the HQ city matches Willow Grove, years in business (capped at 40), a PA license number on file, a BBB grade on file, sewage/mold services, and a public website. Featured placement is not part of the score. RestorePA does not invent star ratings or reviews.
Featured is placement (editorial today, or purchased). It is not a merit rank and is not used in the 2026 score. A Featured shop can still appear in the numbered list at whatever score its on-file facts earn.
No. RestorePA does not publish consumer star ratings. If a BBB letter grade appears, it is copied from a public listing already on file and cited as BBB — not a RestorePA score. Call more than one shop in an active emergency.
These are general Pennsylvania estimates for planning, not a bid and not an average from RestorePA jobs. Actual cost depends on square footage, water category, how long materials stayed wet, and what your insurer authorizes. Ask every shop for a written scope.
Typically more than a clean-water dry-out
Porous materials are usually discarded as regulated waste. Ask for a line-item scope, not a verbal number.
$800–$2,500 installed
General PA installed-cost range from our sewage guide. Some municipalities offer subsidies.
