Our state-of-the-art equipment will allow SERVPRO recover your important documents.

Was your residence or business victim of sewage, a storm or a flood water situation? Was your file room damage by water or smoke? Do your business or government organization need to properly destroy sensitive documents?

Fortunately for you and your organization, SERVPRO has great cleaning and restoring services for your important documents.

Drying

In order to recover and restore your important documents, our Document Restoration Team uses Vacuum Freeze drying, a process in which an item containing moisture is frozen and dried using vacuums and pressures to achieve an interesting process called “sublimation”. It is the most efficient and effective way to salvage your water-damage documents.

Cleaning

We offer onsite cleaning. This is cleaning each document front and back to remove debris and any surface particulate. 

Sterilization

How to disinfect and decontaminate documents or other consumer goods? SERVPRO uses Gamma Irridation. High-energy photons are emitted from an isotope source (Cobalt 60) producing ionization (electron disruptions) throughout a product.

In a sewage or flood water situation, your documents are not only deteriorating but are also infected with all types of bacteria. In most storm situations you are dealing with this problem; therefore, most of the affected documents that you will encounter will be contaminated. If this is the case, then decontamination is always a must.

In living cells, these disruptions result in damage to the DNA and other cellular structures. These photon-induced changes at the molecular level cause the death of the organism or render the organism incapable of reproduction. The gamma process does not create residuals or impart radioactivity in processed products.

Deodorization

Once paper has been wet, an odor can begin to form. Letting us deodorize your documents will reduce the odor and sometimes almost completely eliminate it.

Certified Destruction

We offer destruction onsite. Many businesses and government agencies have to dispose of counterfeit, faulty, expired, or contaminated materials. All entities need to be certified that their products and materials are destroyed.

The guarantee of certified destruction is to protect one’s liabilities, brand image, or proprietary information. We guarantee certified destruction to give you peace of mind that your documents are disposed of properly.

Digitization

Digitizing documents makes them easier to access as well as easier to store. We use state-of-the-art equipment to turn your paper copy into a digital file.

With the new age of technology digitizing records and documents has become a standard practice in most industries. This eliminates the need to have massive file storage rooms and allows us to access records at the click of a button.

If your file room was damaged by water, or smoke, and need to be cleaned, dried, or decontaminated, digitizing might be a good choice to eliminate the need to have hundreds or even thousands of documents and records in storage.
