In the unfortunate event that your business faces an environmental disaster – like a flood, earthquake or hurricane – it is beneficial to have a document restoration leader appointed and trained ahead of time. Office disaster emergencies are all-hands-on-deck situations, and time is of the essence. Recovering wet or damaged documents via proper document restoration methods is often the first priority in order to get business back up and running.

Memorial Day is arriving quickly – a much-needed four-day weekend for many of us. This means spending time with family, friends and loved ones, and honoring those who have fought bravely to protect our freedom. Perhaps you will barbecue with friends, go camping or just bask in the sun with a good book.

Fires, flooding and earthquakes can cause major water damage to your business, often resulting in many wet documents. In order to recover from such disasters, most businesses require immediate document restoration services to recover critical wet documents. The longer you wait, the greater the chance that your wet documents will grow mold or become irrecoverable.

Spring flooding in the United States was light this year – we got lucky, you might say. Recent years, however, have been quite alarming. Depending on where you live, flooding can pose a serious threat to your business. Flood damaged documents are a huge burden on a business attempting to recover from a flood disaster. Vacuum freeze drying technology can be used to restore most flood damaged documents, but quick action is of the essence.

When it comes to flooding at a hospital or business, flood damaged documents are a real headache. But even more serious are flood damaged X-rays, which can contain irreplaceable medical information. To be sure, today’s X-rays are usually stored electronically as well as physically. Older X-rays, however – especially in smaller towns and more rural areas with limited health IT budgets – may still be available only as physical copies.
