Flood-Damaged Document Restoration

The skilled staff at World Construction is well-equipped to safely retrieve records before it’s too late, even though flood-damaged pictures and water-damaged papers may appear beyond restoration. When vital paper documents or images are damaged by water, World Construction’s document restoration experts employ molecular sieves, vacuum freeze dryers, thermal vacuum freeze dryers, desiccant drying, vacuum freeze dryers, and vacuum freeze dryers that are made especially for restoring books, papers, and photographic and paper materials. Frequently, no more restoration is needed once the drying process is finished.
