Every firm is dependant on their data and information records being easily accessible at all times, whatever format they may take. But if disaster strikes this flow of information may be interrupted by anything from dust contamination, water or fire damage to a computer crash or even a virus.
Will files be readable again?
Will the books dry out?
Can back up copies be recovered?
As one of the world's leading companies in rescuing documentation and data, BELFOR can help you. We know how to quickly minimise damage and stabilise a situation when the unexpected happens. Under our Red ALERT emergency response programme, our recovery technicians are able to rapidly assess the situation and put an action plan in place that is right for your firm.
Each incident is unique, requires individual analysis and dedicated treatment. The faster this can happen the better, so with offices throughout the UK and Ireland BELFOR’s specialist technicians can respond rapidly to your firms needs.
• What happens when documents get wet?
Deterioration begins as soon as moisture is absorbed into paper. Swelling, adhesion, distortion, and discolouration can all individually make an item unusable and these processes provide an ideal environment for the growth of bacteria and mould.
But BELFOR's new generation of vacuum thermal and freeze dryers, are specifically designed to reverse the effects of water damage in books, documents and paper materials. Our technicians successfully restore a wide range of materials and delicate paper items, from single documents to entire libraries. Thanks to BELFOR’s technical processes it is difficult to distinguish the difference between a restored file and an undamaged file.
• Mould, mildew or bacteria attack paper materials.
Paper itself is a food source - mould, mildew book lice, and other organisms all thrive on it. Often contamination is far worse than it initially appears as microorganisms spread through the document, whilst other damage can be caused by industrial toxins or pollutants turning papers yellow and brittle. Our specialist technicians identify the cause of the deterioration and stop the decay quickly and economically.
• Smoke and fire damaged books and papers are restorable.
BELFOR’s continuing research and development, coupled with proprietary processes and professional equipment, mean new opportunities to reclaim otherwise damaged paper, film media, and electronic data. Our state of the art cleaning processes include ionised air washing
