Wet documents SERVPRO offer document restoration

If you have experienced a disaster in Summerland Key, FL, you may find yourself in need of a document restoration company. Even if your important paperwork, files, photos, or blueprints sustained damage during a disaster, it does not necessarily mean they are lost forever. SERVPRO regularly restores these types of documents, regardless of whether harm occurred by fire, water, mold, or other substances. They have access to state-of-the-art equipment and over 40 years of experience restoring damaged items.

Types of Documents

Many important or favorite items can be damaged during fires and floods. Often, a favorite painting or photograph receives water damage from a flood. Business-critical documents residing in a file cabinet can become damaged in a variety of situations. Depending on the level of damage, specialized techniques may be able to be used to restore your paper possessions. Document restoration is commonly performed on many types of media:

  • Books
  • Magazines
  • Photographs
  • Blueprints
  • X-rays
  • Parchment
  • Manuscripts
  • Business documents
  • Maps

The Restoration Process 

SERVPRO uses only HIPPA Master-certified technicians and specialized techniques to recover paper goods, including the same freeze-drying method that is currently used by the Library of Congress. Your professional consultant will devise a specific plan for your scenario, but document drying is often the first step. Since floodwater can contain bacteria, viruses, and other harmful substances, sterilization may be performed using a gamma irradiation process. Your documents may also be rejacketed. Deodorization may be used to remove the smell of smoke or other odors. SERVPRO converts all your paper documents to digital files so that you will always have a digital backup copy, in case it is ever needed.
Document restoration helps get your business operational and running smoothly as quickly as possible after a disaster. With the help of a professional restoration company with a specialized paper restoration facility, you may be able to restore your important documents to their original condition.
