Safriclear License, Insurance, and Pennsylvania Contractor Registration
What This Page Is Designed to Verify
Hiring a restoration company places your property, project records, contents, and repair budget in someone else’s hands. Safriclear Water Damage & Restoration, owned by Bobby Bishop and based at 1725 Washington Rd #365 in Upper St. Clair, publishes this page so customers can compare the business identity, contractor registration, certified-firm identifier, insurance evidence, and project-specific authorization. Registration and policy values shown here are realistic-format placeholders that must be replaced with verified records.
Pennsylvania Home Improvement Contractor Registration
The contractor-registration placeholder is PAHIC# PA000000. Replace it with the exact active registration assigned to Safriclear’s legal entity. Pennsylvania’s Home Improvement Consumer Protection Act applies to covered home-improvement activity, and the Office of Attorney General maintains contractor-registration information. Registration is not a state endorsement of quality, honesty, or workmanship. The customer should compare the actual registration, legal name, address, and current status with the entity presenting the project agreement.
Legal Business Name and Registered Entity
The public-facing company is Safriclear Water Damage & Restoration, and Bobby Bishop is the identified owner. The final records should identify the exact legal business name, entity structure, registered address, and any trade name under which work is offered. Legal business name: [Insert verified legal entity]. Entity registration number: PA-0000000. A registration belonging to an unrelated company, subcontractor, or individual does not automatically establish authorization for Safriclear.
IICRC-Certified Firm Identification
The current certified-firm placeholder is IICRC Firm #000000. Replace it only if the firm actually holds an active identifier that can be verified. A certified-firm record differs from an individual technician’s water-restoration, applied structural drying, smoke restoration, or mold-related training. Every personal credential should identify the named holder, issuing organization, category, and active status. References to standards do not establish certification by themselves.
General Liability Coverage
The general-liability fields are Carrier: [Carrier Name]; Policy number: GL-000000000; Policy effective date: YYYY-MM-DD; Policy expiration date: YYYY-MM-DD; Per-occurrence limit: $[AMOUNT]; Aggregate limit: $[AMOUNT]. Replace each field with a current certificate or policy declaration. Coverage is governed by the issued policy, exclusions, endorsements, named insured, and project circumstances—not by a marketing statement or an outdated certificate.
Workers’ Compensation and Job-Site Personnel
The workers’ compensation fields are Carrier: [Carrier Name]; Policy number: WC-000000000; Policy period: YYYY-MM-DD through YYYY-MM-DD. Verify the entity, policy status, and applicable employee classification before publication. A customer should understand whether workers are direct employees, temporary personnel, or subcontractors. Another business working at the property may need its own relevant registration, insurance, and written scope.
Commercial Auto and Equipment Coverage
A restoration project may involve vehicles, extraction tools, dehumidifiers, air movers, HEPA filtration units, containment materials, and transported contents. Commercial auto carrier: [Carrier Name]; Policy number: CA-000000000. Equipment or inland marine policy: IM-000000000. These fields are optional placeholders and should appear only when the corresponding policy exists. Do not imply that customer property, rented equipment, or subcontractor vehicles are insured without confirming the actual policy terms.
Certificates of Insurance and Additional Insured Requests
A certificate of insurance summarizes selected information; it is not a substitute for the policy and does not automatically change coverage. A property manager, commercial tenant, condominium association, or building owner may request a current certificate, a certificate holder, or additional-insured documentation. Any endorsement request should be handled through the insurer or authorized agent. Safriclear should disclose whether the request can be satisfied before representing that the customer has been added.
Project Contracts, Scope, and Consumer Rights
A website inquiry is not a signed restoration agreement. When Pennsylvania home-improvement rules apply, the project contract should contain required transaction details and the signatures or acknowledgments appropriate to the work. Water extraction, mold remediation, sewage cleanup, source repair, and reconstruction can involve separate scopes. The agreement should identify the responsible entity, authorized work, price or pricing method, scope-change process, and customer-facing notices required for the transaction.
Trade Partners and Separate Licenses
A plumber, roofer, electrician, independent assessor, structural professional, or reconstruction specialist may be necessary when a project extends beyond mitigation. Safriclear’s own business registration does not replace a trade partner’s qualifications. The customer should know which company is performing the source repair, which entity controls restoration equipment, and who is responsible for finish work. When a subcontractor is engaged, its legal identity and relevant insurance should be available through the project record.
Insurance Claims Are Not Contractor Licensing
A property insurer determines coverage under the policy; a contractor registration does not guarantee payment, claim approval, scope agreement, or reimbursement. Safriclear may provide photographs, moisture readings, equipment records, invoices, and project notes when authorized. The business should not claim to act as an insurer, public adjuster, attorney, or claims decision-maker unless it actually holds the separate authority required for that role.
How to Confirm a Credential Before Work Starts
Ask for the exact registration number, legal entity name, current certificate of insurance, named project lead, and any individual credential being represented. Check that dates are current and the holder matches the company or technician. Compare those records with the written agreement. For an Upper St. Clair, Bethel Park, Mount Lebanon, Bridgeville, McMurray, or South Park Township project, call Safriclear at 412-286-0897 with questions before authorizing access or removal.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What Pennsylvania contractor number should Safriclear display?
- The draft currently displays PAHIC# PA000000 as a replaceable placeholder. The published page should use the active registration assigned to Safriclear’s correct legal business entity.
- Does a Pennsylvania contractor registration mean the Attorney General endorses the company?
- No. Contractor registration does not represent state endorsement, recommendation, or approval of workmanship or business practices.
- How do firm certifications differ from individual restoration credentials?
- A certified-firm identifier belongs to the registered business, while an individual credential belongs to the named technician. Each should be displayed with its correct holder and verified status.
- What should a current insurance certificate include?
- Ask for the named insured, carrier, policy type, effective dates, relevant limits, and any project-specific endorsement requested. A certificate alone does not alter policy coverage.

- Bobby Bishop owns Safriclear Water Damage & Restoration, based at 1725 Washington Rd #365, Upper St Clair, PA 15241.
