Recovering Wet Documents or Books
A Few Things You Need to Know About Freeze-drying
2
Want to watch some paper dry?
  • Of course not. Unless maybe youre dealing with
    something particularly unpleasant at work
    today.But in all seriousness, when your
    business or organization is dealing with
    important wet documents or books - and the
    potential related process or legal costs, or
    historical losses - paper drying suddenly becomes
    very interesting. So understanding how your
    documents can be salvaged may save you from a lot
    of fingernail biting while you wait for the
    process to play out.

Damaged Document Drying Restoration
  • Our technicians are trained on the many of the
    most advanced techniques available for cleaning
    and restoring documents and other items and
    ensuring that our customers always receive a
    quick and cost5 effective response.
  • Some of these techniques that are applied are
    (but not limited to)
  • HEPA Vacuuming
  • Dry Sponge Cleaning
  • Brushes and Dry Erasers Restoration
  • Microbial Growth Remediation
  • Drying Restoring Documents

Refrigeration Trucks to the Rescue
  • After you call a document restoration provider
    about wet books or documents, their goal will be
    to freeze them as fast as possible because
    freezing slows the disintegration of paper.
  • Thats why the first stop for your wet or moist
    documents or books will most likely be a
    refrigerated truck. Once the documents are
    frozen, the water needs to be removed as fast as
    possible to help minimize overall damage.

6
The Magic of Freeze-drying
  • When your documents and books arrive at a
    facility, your restoration provider will
    typically use freeze-drying (the scientific term
    is lyophilization) to remove water before
    completing any other necessary restoration
    steps.The freeze-drying process uses a
    combination of low temperatures and low pressure
    to transform water from a solid to a gas.
    Condensing coils in the freeze drying chambers
    attract the gas and remove water from the
    chambers.
  • Its important to understand that freeze-drying
    can be taken too far, in which case it may result
    in dry or brittle paper. So limits should be
    applied to prevent this from happening.

Three Things to Consider
  • Your document restoration needs can be
    time-sensitive and involve confidential or even
    priceless fragile materials. Damaged or lost
    documents can also set off a chain reaction of
    process or legal-related scenarios that can
    quickly grow very expensive. Thats why we
    recommend planning ahead whenever possible.

Three Things to Consider
  • If your organization has important documents or
    books that it could not afford to lose, be sure
    to
  • Consider how fast you would need them back, if
    something happened
  • Evaluate your document restoration vendor options
    ahead of time
  • Learn how to prevent and prepare for emergency
    situations
