Documents Drying and Restoration in Austin, TX

At PuroClean Property Savers, we follow a precise and industry-approved methodology for documents drying and restoration. Our IICRC-certified technicians handle each project with the care and confidentiality required for sensitive materials. Whether it’s a single file cabinet or hundreds of archival boxes, we tailor our restoration process to meet the scale and urgency of your needs.

Here’s how we do it:

• Initial Assessment and Inventory: We start by assessing the extent of water damage and creating a digital catalog of all affected documents for tracking and insurance purposes.
• Stabilization and Transport: Damaged documents are carefully packed and transported to a secure, climate-controlled facility. Stabilization helps prevent further degradation and stops mold before it starts.
• Freeze Drying (Lyophilization): One of the most effective methods for large-scale document recovery, this process removes moisture while preserving ink, structure, and content. It’s ideal for books, ledgers, legal papers, and photographs.
• Cleaning and Decontamination: Documents are cleaned to remove dirt, debris, and potential biohazards. We use HEPA vacuuming, gamma irradiation, and other safe methods depending on contamination levels.
• Deodorization and Disinfection: If documents have absorbed unpleasant odors or contaminants, we apply odor neutralizers and antimicrobial treatments.
• Scanning and Digitization (Optional): To prevent future loss, we offer document scanning services that convert paper archives into searchable digital formats.

Throughout the process, chain-of-custody protocols ensure your documents are handled securely and confidentially. Once the drying and restoration are complete, documents are returned to you in as close to original condition as possible, or stored safely until your property is ready.
