Water Damage Doesn't Always Mean the End for Your Papers and Documents!

8/4/2022 (Permalink)

When water makes its way into your home, few things are left untouched. If important documents and papers are among the list of damaged items, it may be possible to fully or partially restore them if you act quickly!

When paper documentation is in a water loss, the faster restoration work begins, the higher the likelihood that restoration can be achieved. SERVPRO keeps any papers undergoing restoration work locked away in our facilities to ensure their safety! 

When logging the damaged items and papers in the water loss, try your hardest not to touch or mishandle them in any way. Professionals can safely remove damaged documents with less risk of irreversible damage. Water-damaged papers are extremely fragile and even the slightest movement can damage them even further, potentially preventing their restoration!
