Document Restoration After Severe Flood & Fire Damage

Restoring water-damaged documents after a flood is possible with desiccant air-drying systems. These systems efficiently remove moisture from documents and preserve critical information, allowing for copying and reproduction. Freeze drying can even save books and notebooks affected by water damage.

During a fire, smoke and soot affect documents. Afterward, experts use pure latex rubber sponges to clean soot, employing gentle sweeping techniques from the center outwards to restore the documents to their original condition.
