Many business owners who have documents that have suffered water damage may be tempted to try saving their documents themselves. However, due to the risk of irreversible mold damage, important documents need to be dried properly as soon as possible. Air drying simply will not work, and using a blow dryer can damage the document beyond repair. Therefore, it is necessary to use the services of professional document restoration companies that have the experience and technology to dry documents quickly and safely. To do this, professional document restoration companies use a freeze drying method that immediately takes the moisture out of documents and allows them to be restored to much of their former integrity.
The Freeze Drying Document Restoration Process
Document restoration specialists use industrial vacuum freeze dryers that safely and expediently remove water from crucial documents. The industrial vacuum freeze dryers used by document restoration companies freeze documents to very low temperatures, often -40 degrees Fahrenheit, until the documents are hardened. This helps preserve the structural integrity of the documents, which facilitates document restoration. Wet documents are placed inside the industrial freeze dryers where they are frozen and vacuum pumps are used to remove any excess moisture and water vapor from the documents. This ensures the complete moisture removal from documents so that they can be completely restored.
After all of the moisture is removed from the documents, they are carefully heated using specialized heating coils. The heating process removes any water that may be remaining in the documents. Afterwards, documents that have not been determined beyond repair are usually perfectly restored to their previous state.
Importance of Mold Removal
One of the greatest advantages of the industrial freeze drying process is its ability to prevent the spread of mold on documents suffering from water damage. The removal of mold from documents can be difficult, and it often requires the use of chemicals that may damage the documents further. Airborne mold spores are attracted to moist surfaces, like water-damaged documents. Unfortunately, mold can be invisible to the eye until it has completely spread across the documents. When mold becomes visible, it is often a sign that the document has begun to rapidly deteriorate, because mold is extremely destructive to paper and wood products. The presence of mold makes restoring documents much more difficult. The freeze drying process immediately eliminates the reproduction of mold spores and puts a halt to any mold growth, which greatly increases the likelihood that documents will be able to be fully restored.
Documents are imperative to the success of most businesses. Not only does the proper organization of information and data facilitate successful business operations, but it also ensures the safekeeping of vital financial and tax records. Unfortunately, floods and other natural disasters beyond human control occur frequently, causing water damage to these important documents. In these instances, it may seem like all hope is lost, but professional document restoration companies that utilize cutting-edge industrial freeze drying methods are often able to restore documents and maintain their integrity. When used in time, this proven document restoration method is able to safely remove water from documents and prevent the spread of damaging mold spores. Therefore, this popular procedure is as preventative as it is curative.
