Difficult Water Damage Restoration to Documents May Be Successful

Water flowing into the home can damage carpeting, wall sand flooring. It can also affect valuable documents and books. Calling professionals to dry your important papers such as insurance, birth certificates, and mortgage documents is recommended. They are well trained and skilled and use proper techniques to dry documents in your home, whenever possible.

SERVPRO water removal in Hampton includes restoring and drying documents and electronics when possible. Techs work with homeowners to speed up the process and to determine the best method for drying wet and damaged items. Consulting with property owners is essential because making quick decisions helps minimize the degree of damage to documents. Technicians can prevent further damage to items, but whatever existing damage is present cannot generally be restored. However, contacting professionals may help save vital documents from total loss.
 
Water-damaged books and paper documents will have some degree of damage, which makes it impossible to restore items to their preloss condition. Our restoration process focuses on eliminating additional damage to materials as well as returning them to the best state possible. SERVPRO uses five methods for document drying, air-drying, dehumidification, freezer drying, vacuum freeze-drying and vacuum thermal-drying. Before we select the right method to use, we consider the value of the documents and the level of damage. Lyophilization may be offered as a method to attempt to salvage papers and photographs and books.
 
We also take into account if the water is clean, gray or black and the length of exposure of the documents to moisture. When clean water is the source and if we find paper items within 48 hours, we freeze or dry them. Freezing documents prevents further damage and gives us time to determine the correct drying procedure to use. We keep a complete list of items we remove from the home and encourage homeowners to be there during the inventory and pack-out phase so they can to inform our techs as to which pieces they want us to attempt to restore. Document restoring can be expensive and time-consuming. We explain the cost of each drying method so homeowners can decide if they wish to proceed.
