Document Drying & Restoration in Charlotte | Minimize Business Downtime with Industrial-Grade Recovery

We mobilize within two hours of your call. Our first priority is stabilization, which means stopping active water intrusion, controlling environmental conditions, and freezing high-priority documents. The faster we intervene, the higher the recovery rate. We coordinate with your facility management and IT teams to minimize disruption to ongoing operations. After initial triage, we provide a detailed recovery timeline based on document volume, damage severity, and drying methodology. Most projects move to active drying within 24 hours of contact.

Not all documents require the same level of intervention. We work with your team to identify mission-critical files, regulatory-sensitive records, and materials that can be digitized or replaced. This assessment includes water source classification, contamination risk, and document media type. We create a prioritized recovery matrix that balances regulatory compliance, operational need, and cost efficiency. You receive a written assessment within hours of onsite evaluation, allowing you to make informed decisions about scope and budget allocation before full-scale drying begins.

Our goal is legible, usable documentation that meets your retention and compliance requirements. Recovery rates vary by damage severity, but vacuum freeze drying typically achieves 90 percent or better success for non-contaminated materials. Dehumidification methods yield lower rates but remain cost-effective for high-volume, lower-priority files. We provide condition reports that detail legibility, structural integrity, and any residual odor or staining. This documentation supports insurance claims and regulatory audits. Documents are returned in labeled containers with full chain-of-custody tracking.

After restoration, we provide recommendations to reduce future document loss risk. This includes storage reconfiguration, waterproofing improvements, and digitization strategies for high-value records. We also connect you with vendors who specialize in fireproof file cabinets, elevated shelving, and climate-controlled archive facilities. Many businesses use document recovery events as a catalyst to modernize records management and reduce physical storage footprints. We do not sell these services directly, but we guide you toward solutions that protect your investment and improve business continuity planning.
