Document Restoration

Floods, storms, severe cold and fires can all cause water damage in you home, storage or place of business.   We can dry any paper product, whether it is a book, file, document, photo, X-Rays, computer discs or microfilm. If it is wet, it can be dried!

Freeze-drying water damaged documents is cost effective especially when considering manpower to track down and duplicate documents, and in many cases, the originals are all you have to work with. 

Freeze-drying is utilized in many industries.  No foreign agent is added.  Water content is simply extracted (sublimation) while the items are frozen. Freeze drying will leave the papers legible and useable without any residue. 

What to do first?

It is very important to get all materials to a freezer immediately.  This stops further deterioration, especially from inks running and mildew.  Do not move wet material any more than necessary.  Leave material in the original containers if possible, file drawers, file boxes, etc. If files and documents have to be moved, plastic milk crates work well for storage, freezing and drying.  Place wax paper between books to prevent them from sticking together in the freezer. 

Please call us at Village Freeze-Dried Flowers (989-642-2139) if you have any questions or have an emergency.
